There wasn't really a need for a "new broom" though. There was a way to keep complete control yet still retain the advantages of having the old guard onside with you. Lawrie had been ousted from the club long before the Liebherr revolution, Rupert Lowe saw to that straight after the Sheffield United staying up game. So he wasn't part of the previous at all. MLT is a different story, and neither side filled themselves with glory in the aftermath of the takeover, if we're honest. Things have simply progressed on from there.

 

Its such a needless childish spat (from both sides) that its almost embarrassing to point out how pathetic it all is, and how it only harms both parties, there are no benefits to it at all (except for Cortese to feel he has the power and for MLT to provide his retorts via the media).

 

You say childish spat from both sides

 

Where is it that we can see NC public spat? What is MLT problem?

Unfortunately I don't even agree with what MLT has written, it really is open to question whether a "reasonable man" would really write something that even suggests there are "pro Cortese people". This is not a playground Matt, there are not 2 gangs of people. There are people who are adult and who dislike this petty behaviour and there are immature children who treat this like a game and want to get one over on the other person. Matt is one of the latter and needs to grow up. Putting stuff like this on Twitter just continues to make him look like a very silly childish prat. Cortese may be a little of the same, but at least he has the dignity not to use silly so-called social media aka children's toys to have a go. Do the decent thing Matt, contact Cortese, meet with him in private, sort out your differences, show some good grace and then STFU.

What if Cortese won't meet or speak with him?

Le Tiss just tweeted someone saying how he was told that Cortese seriously considered changing Lambert's number so fans couldn't chant "he wears the shirt of Matt Le Tiss".

 

What a child if that is true.

 

Let's stick to facts, the one we are dealing with now is his '

tweet. Something that is a FACT we have observed first hand.

He has? I have his twitter page open right now and see nothing of the sort. Did he delete it? The most recent tweet I see is the one where he writes

 

If genuine saints fans knew what he'd done to lawrie mac fran benali and others who dont wish to be named your opinion may differ somewhat

 

Which is puzzling in itself as he seems happy to criticise NC in public as has Benali so I don't understand what is preventing any of these jilted legends explaining their grievance.

Having his season ticket blocked? Turning up at events and having Saints staff keep away from him. Or you think Tiss is lying? He's hardly known for being a trouble maker or someone that goes looking for confrontation is he?

 

I don't know. I do remember MLT getting Jeff Stelling to rant about NC on soccer Saturday and it was found to be completely bull shyt. So I am happy to reserve judgement and let them get on with it

They stopped the st being transferred to a different user, that's part of the t&cs I believe. Maybe deemed petty, but, within their rights wouldn't u agree?

 

I agree with wade g, pit ur dummy back in Matt. Since the takeover he obviously has a problem with da management.

Look at the top of the Tweets it has two options "All/ No replies". Click on all and you should see it.

 

Oh yeah now I see it. Although the "I've been told" makes it seem like more hear say.

 

Matt Le Tissier ‏@mattletiss7

@upthesaints ive been told he seriously considered changing rickie shirt number so fans couldnt sing that song anymore

 

 

He also implies Guly was entirely NC's doing, but many people already thought that already.

It's a pity Matty can't just keep himself to himself. It obviously takes two to tango but Cortese hasen't come out slagging Matt off every chance he get's. Matt is no angel himself and should remember that.

 

Respect everything the guy did for us but I don't see how he is going to sort the situation out by keep making remarks. Like the one above about Lamberts shirt number. That suggests Cortese would mess with the football side of things to soothe his own ego. Which doesn't fit his character at all. In the 3 years the guy has been here you could probably count on one hand the amount of public interviews/statements he has done.

 

So while some seem to be placing the blame at Cortese's feet what is it he has actually done? There are so many "my friend said xyz" type rumours and nobody knows if they are true. Like for example someone I know who used to work at the club just after the takeover said the bad blood comes from the takeover and more specifically that Matt blamed Cortese and co for his own bid failing. Then there are other rumours as others have mentioned.

 

But one thing is for sure and that it is Matt who keeps talking about it. He alludes to something but never goes far enough to actually say what the problem is. Why won't he just come out and say what the issue is? Is it because he is worried he will get sued by Cortese?

 

It is sad they can't sort it out but i'm of the opinion you have to look forwards. Markus and Cortese have done a lot of positives for this club and I would much rather look at those and have people talk about those then talk about negative he said she said rumours. That is the problem with the internet age.

No I certainly would not agree. If I or anyone else lent our season ticket to a mate which happens thousands of times each season and it was blocked, we'd be fuming the same as Le Tiss.

But then you agree with someone saying that Le Tiss is a c**t which speaks volumes about you as a Saints fan.

Terrible things like making Matt pay for his tickets. Deciding when the club was in financial difficulties Lawrie was not worth £90k to be an ambassador (standing around drinking free booze and talking ******** to ****ed businessmen).

What was 'complete bull shyt'? For what its worth I'd rather he didn't stick this up on the twitter, but the bloke is obviously gutted about the way the club he clearly loves now treats him.

I do happen to know the story behind one of the areas MLT is unhappy about - supporting his mate, and I got to say I would be with him. however, social media squabbles never play out well and I disagree with how he is voicing his disgust.

 

BTW this one isnt even football related

You obviously must have a screw or two lose, no one is here taking sides but are (in my opinion) rightly objecting to Matty's very public statements of defaming the current Southampton football club chairman!

 

If you can't get this simple point, then there's not much hope really is there bitter mash!

Yet another one that seems to hate Le Tiss. Clearly not a Saints fan.

As far as I'm concerned Matt can defame him every single day for the rest of the year.

 

It won't stop Adkins doing his job and won't stop us winning football matches.

 

Who cares? It's the bloke running the club. Why do you people get upset? He's the frigging CEO, not the centre forward.

Once again you are completely missing the point. Its the fact that Matt keeps on airing this sh!t in public and is turning into a bulb!

See, that's where you get it wrong.

 

He's not just any old CEO he's MY Club's CEO.

 

For what Matty has done for this club, he is family!

 

All my life I wanted some guy to come in and give Saints a shot at the big time. Cortese made this happen and not only that but he is obviously passionate about the club!

 

Why then would I hold back my appreciation for this bloke?

 

In your book, just being the 'CEO' means, who gives a sh't... In my book, like Matty, he deserves respect, HE'S FAMILY.

Not in my opinion. Cortese is a public figure and shouldn't be immune from a few barbs, not least when they come with pretty good reason. Matt can say what he likes, when he likes on this matter as far as I'm concerned. It's up to Cortese what he decides to do about it. If he decides to say nothing you lot can all toss yourselves off about how fantastic and dignified he is in his silence.

Of course a public figure shouldnt be immune to a few barbs even if they are incredibly childish. But why should these bitter barb throwers expect special treatment ?

Add to this, some don't understand the importance of Cortese to this Club. He is the only link for us to the family and its money. If he was for any reason to sling his hook, what good is having the best manager, without having the money to have the best players... Obvious answer is, without money, you're not going to have the best facilities, expansion, plans for Europe, nothing. Heck you might even end up with some chances trying to leech of us.

 

We've been around a long time and in that time no billionaire came in for us, thankfully Cortese got involved and hooked us up. So without him and the honeypot, the tv money will only do for us what clubs like wigan and Norwich have limited aspirations for!

 

'Who cares about Cortese'?

 

Naive...

Or the Leibherrs could easily replace the Cheif Exec and nothing would change. It's their investment, their money.

 

No one wants Cortese to go because he's doing a good job but that doesn't mean we have to agree with everything he does through some pathetic mis-guided fear that he's going to run off crying and take the Leibherr's money with him.

Bang on. Markus was only aware of us due to Cortese.

 

I understand that League Tiss may be sticking up for his friends for whatever reason but to engage in a childish Twitter campaign to gathere sympathy.... it should be beneath the great man to conduct himself in such a way.

The liebherrs only want in because of Cortese, he's running a lot of business for them.

 

Without him, it's fair to assume, no Liebherr money.

 

Secondly if there is any 'pathetic running off crying happening' its not Cortese thats doing it.

I agree with your comment but MLT's going a bit beyond "sticking up for hies friends", though:

 

"Matt Le Tissier ‏@mattletiss7

@stateofplaylee no team interference? Ask the club who bought guly?"

True or not true, Matt is deliberately trying to rock the boat here.

 

So so disappointing.

CB FRy, so NC is just the CEO and we shouldn'y give a shiedt?... well that was not the attitude when Lowe was just exec chair? is it that the difference is that things off the pitch are pretty good so we dont need to give a shiedt about the chairman? Whatever the real issue between Cortese and Matt, the fact reamins only one of them is constantly airing it in public - and whilst he does that he is being a pratt... Unfortunately like most footballers he is is obviously either a bit dim or ill advised, if he wants any chance of sorting that out, the first thing is to keep is trap shut in the media... no one likes that opinion because its Matt and what he gave us, but if you and the rest say that no one is above criticism (as is mentione dwhenever someone defends NC) then that applies to Matt as well...

You don't know that.

 

I think he does. It only takes a little bit of reading to see that NC heads up the Mali Group of businesses and that NC, as he admitted himself and also ML said the same, he introduced the idea to Markus. Markus wouldn't have known where to start if it wasn't for him.

 

So we do know that.

No, I don't. But that wasn't the statement you responded with ''You don't know that' to.

 

And i've only just caught up with the latest ''development's.. Christ on a bike, MLT you are starting to look like an idiot here.

 

A petty, bitter, idiot with an agenda. Along with the rest of the ''old guys'' guys gang, in Benali, Lawrie etc. I'm all for respecting what they did for us, they are legends and always will be. But why is he acting like this? He's trying to rock the boat, for reasons that are beyond me. That's the last thing we need this year. He should just STFU. Simple as that.

 

If he wants to air his views, then officially contact the club. Putting out in the open isn't going to help anyone. So he's just made the entire thing worse, and is possibly proving NC right in some ways.

 

Cue me being called a member of the ''CoC'' or whatever.
