Thedelldays Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 (edited) as I am fooked if I can find anything....all well and good for Matt to come out and say about NC not being a nice person...but what, why and where... the lack of any details is somewhat weird....and if it is a personal issue then how embarrassing to air your personal issues in the media... but is his problem a professional one and matt knows stuff that NC is doing that will ruin the club for years to come...? personally....I would rather matt just shut up unless he tells us exactly what his problem is..but he is free to do what he likes etc Edited 27 January, 2013 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Personal I would have thought and more to do with Benali than anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 (edited) From the discussion I had with Matt, he is annoyed by the alleged incident about Francis Benali and the non payment of bills. Something that should really be left to a court to decide who is right/wrong. That shouldn't result in a one-way public slanging match on a weekly basis in local/national newspapers, local national radio, local/national TV. For the good of the fanbase, they need to resolve this. Edited 27 January, 2013 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpweySaint Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 The one thing you'l always get from le tiss is an honest opinion. It is a coincidence he works in the media and, as a saints legend, his views are often called upon about the club. Im sure, if asked how we felt, plenty of us would express these views without concern. He thinks Cortese is a tool, right or wrong, he's entitled to feel that way and say so.

From my perspective, the circle of "ex saints" which are the most vocal about NC have let personal issues and agendas shape all of this. People are quick to forget that we have ex saints employed by the club and others who are recognised for their past contributions so this theory that NC is trying to wipe out the clubs history is a nonesense. It's all just mates sticking up for mates in a select circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Its personal, its blown out of proportion and I for one am bored by it. It is irrelevant. Much more interested in what is happening with the football. Sky are trying to stir it up but its clear from the reaction they are getting from Saints fans that most really don't give a toss. There are about 4 people on here who seem to have a problem, two of whom have an obsession with their imaginary Cult of Cortese. I really do not care much about Cortese, he is current chairman, does he play football, does he coach the team, no. He just happens to be the current owner. As long as he is not a total tool like Lowe then I for one really don't give a **** about him as long as he has the best interests of the Club at heart.

the stain Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 From what I've heard Benali was/is angry because Cortese changed the carpet in the toilet to tiles (because he says it is more hygienic). Benali had only recently put the carpet in and was angry to find it thrown in the front garden when he went round to collect the rent. But what really upset him was that Cortese had apparently been smoking (best not ask what he was smoking ) in the house when the tenancy agreement clearly states no smoking. They had a confrontation on the doorstep and Cortese apparently threatened Benali so Benali went off and came back a few hours later with Le Tissier and Mark Dennis. They all started throwing eggs at Corteses car and shouted things at him. Clearly a personal issue that has nothing to do with the club and needs resolving before it does any more damage.

CB Saint Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 In all seriousness was it not because Cortese was having a wall knocked down? The rumour I heard ( bucket of salt required) was NC did some work in the flat without permission, there was also a dispute over money, and that Benali lost his temper and put NC up against the wall. And from that all the rancour developed. I reiterate, this is hearsay and I have no idea how accurate this is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Liebherr money is key, but Cortese is driving the club in all areas and under his stewardship the club has improved significantly and at least appears to have a very bright future.

You can't have it both ways. I didn't say I've been entirely happy with how the club have acted since the takeover. They could have treated people better, but yes I do think the positives the Cortese/Liebherr era have brought vastly outweigh the negatives. For the first time in the club's history we appear to have owners that have very high ambition for the club, the business acumen and seemingly the resources to achieve their ambitions. It should be refreshing for all Saints fans and a time to enjoy our club progress. Of course there will be bumps on the way, Cortese will no doubt grate with some people with the way he goes about things, but to want him out of the club as hypochondriac does is ridiculous.

Some people are bought easily though it seems. If there really is an issue between Benali and Cortese, the courts will decide who is in the right/wrong. Has that not happened already, as the whole incident was quite some time ago now? Why are Le Tiss and Benali being "very restrained"? Why hold back? Le Tiss and his son claim to have dirt on Cortese but appear reluctant to reveal it. Could it be that they actually don't have anything or that it is so trivial no-one would care? imo they aren't being that restraint as Le Tissier takes every opportunity he can to criticise Cortese on Soccer Saturday, local/national papers, Twitter, local national radio. It is all one-way in terms of a slanging match in media outlets. Edited 27 January, 2013 by Matthew Le God Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right or wrong, Cortese has no bond with Le Tiss... he would ahve been seen as an ex servent of the club, now being an obstacle to the unity NC wants... from the Pinnacle debacle to the siding first with LM and then with FB and using the public forum his current roles allows to have a dig... all childish on both sides and a little distracting but hardly a big issue unless you let it be one... if this keeps you awake at night you have bigger problems to worry about.

Clifford Nelson Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 There is now a whole gang of "usual suspects" who can all be guaranteed to offer a quote negative about NC. The gang consists of ex-players and an ex-manager. Has it all got to do with Benali's house? Or has it also got something to do with that NC when he and Markus arrived made it clear that ex-players didn't have any special privileges at the club. No free tickets, hospitality, etc. If I combine our history with the ex-players and managers and consider it in comparison of where we are going, what do I get? Maybe, that ex-players will contribute to the mediocrity of yesterday more than the excellence of tomorrow? I can see a lot of sense in this, however much I appreciate both MLT and Lawrie for what they did in their time. If I was responsible for the owners' invested millions (about 100 I reckon at present) I wouldn't bet on those who seems to celebrate yesterday.

Frank's cousin Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 He would get given comps because having legends like him poncing around the corporates makes business sense you plumb. Plus, it's part of what being a club is all about. In your Opinion... Poncing around corporates may work if you are David Beckham, but LM is sadly not quite the draw any more - becaue you are right, IF he was that big a draw, Cortese whould be paying him... dont let your hatred cloud your judgement... I though most on here said the clubs was the FANS and that they are the only consistent thing, as owners, managers andplayers come and go, only teh fans remain loyal... so which is it to be, that one or the freebies to the exs, whilst loyal fans cant afford a ticket?

Le Tiss didn't even want freebies, he just wanted to BUY some tickets. I doubt any other club in the land would tell one of their greatest ever players they wouldn't be allowed to buy a few extra tickets. i think you are the one with the clouded judgement if you think that is right.
