Saint-Armstrong Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 From BBC's Nabil Hassan: Matt Le Tissier says #saintsfc chairman Nicola Cortese is "not a very nice human being". "I think a lot of stuff will come out about him". #saintsfc Matt Le Tissier on Cortese: "He is not a very nice human being. It's as simple as that. He has a lot of hold over a lot of people" Simon Peach tweeted about an interview with Le Tissier earlier and was talking about Matt and Cortese. Bit of a shame if he's sold a story on him again.....it is all a bit pathetic. Every time he does a talk or interview or the like he doesn't seem to be able to not put one into Cortese. Ho hum.

Saint Charlie Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Why doesn't someone just say some of this "stuff"? Would be so much easier. It also does make MLT look a bit pathetic regardless of what he knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt is a legend but makes himself look rather daft and petty with all his sniping. i think we all know that Cortese is a bit of a tit, but griping about it without actually saying why is just childish.

Dig Dig Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 I think the general consensus is that rather than just hear about how horrible he is, tell us all exactly why he thinks this way.

Will be be any wiser after you release the full interview? Would guess not. Either there is something to tell or there isn't....its not hard for someone, anyone, to ask MLT to be a bit more specific - pretty obvious he doesn't like NC which is fine, but its only a story if NC has done something to make Saints fans nervous to have him in charge. Otherwise its just one guy who dislikes another guy... Edited 17 October, 2012 by Saint Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buctootim Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Its time to either put up or shut up. If he has anything more substantial to air than "he took my free tickets away" or he sacked the programme sellers" then he should say it. Thing is Matt cant really point the finger at strategy because that has clearly worked the past two years so he is making personal remarks. Its not classy.

MLT had a lot of people's support when he was conned into fronting that ridiculous Pinnacle fiasco, that was going nowhere, and started the hate campaign against Marcus Liebherr's bid before anyone knew anything about it.

dronskisaint Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 Sold a few column inches by sensationalising one phrase I suppose.

Avenue Saint Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 This is getting very very tiring! Matt seriously needs to let it go, he obviously has some PERSONAL issue with the bloke but he needs to let his ego deal with it and move on. going to press defaming the club chairman is in no way going to help the club which he claims to and no doubt does love... disappointing Matt, very disappointing.

CB Saint Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 That is carp journalism at its worst. Nothing but innuendo, from a man who has been publicly grinding the same axe for a couple of years now. No examples, nothing but bar room tittle tattle. There are more credible rumours made up on this forum, than that bilge. Come on Simon, what other new exciting stories have you got? I won't hold my breath.

Sorry Matt....can't you just leave us with those wonderful memeories instead, and leave this alone? This is the issue between MLT and Cortese. Cortese said MLT was wrong to keep fronting the bid. MLT still believes what he did was correct (at the book signing a few years back anyway). I just can't see the credibility in any of this after Micky Falka emerged from the back of the sofa with a 5p coin. It would be interesting to ask Matt if he still believes what he did was right but I doubt I will ask that question again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mowgli Posted 17 October, 2012 Share Posted 17 October, 2012 It seems to me that this has very little to do with football and is nothing more than a clash of personalities. MLT did a lot for saints and will always be a legend in my book no matter what he says. Markus is also a legend having achieved so much for the club in such a short time. If Nicola was his most trusted friend that is good enough for me. Similarly Lawrie Mac is a legend for his time at the club. He similarly wanted to make his mark when he first arrived. He sold our longest serving player, Terry Paine, because he saw him as a threat and he ordered all the photos of past glories to be put into storage claiming we should look forward not back. This is what happens in life. As for Simon Peach, he does to be fair, prefer printing research rather than tittle tattle and this appears not to be up to his usual standards.
