Errmm, i terms of the future of Southampton Football Club Cortese is important and MLT isn't. Why should the chairman of a football club, in a precarious position, cancel appointments to fit a meeting with an ex-player in? Especially when it is said ex-player who has asked for a meeting after continually slagging the chairman off (and thus tarnishing the image of the club) in the media? I loved MLT as a player as much as anyone else on here. I was there on his debut and for his final match in a Saints shirt; I stood cheering his name or years; he was, without a doubt, the best player I have ever watched play for Saints. However, that does not mean he can be without blame when acting like a child, as he has been. I am sure his nose is a bit out of joint (excuse the pun) because of his own (ludicrous) involvement with the Pinnacle debacle and subsequent successful takeover of Marcus and NC. But I think this is more down to a bathroom carpet in Benali's house, FFS!! Yes, of course Cortese should drop everything just because MLT wants him to...................

Frank's cousin Posted 2 February, 2013 Share Posted 2 February, 2013 The Don and MLT ... Part 2 Having sent butler Les to the offie to procure a bottle of 'Malibu' and some Coke, The Don takes his seat behind the large Walnut desk. MLT is sat on the opposite side, his chair apearing supiciousy low, so that his head is only just above the height of the desk. The Don Leans back spping his fine wine and breaks wind loudly Don Cortese: What is it you english say with your strange facination for 'Bottom' jokes - Better out than in? ha this is so funny! Matty: Uhm... Don Cortese: So, lets get down to business. We seem to be getting somewhere - You did well getting that to sser Stelling to pick up on the issue again last week - he seems to like doing our work for us. Matty: Yes he is a bit of a gullable tw at is Jeff. Don Cortese: And you are sure he and the other morons, dont suspect a thing? Matty: Nah, they are all too stupid - (Laughs) Don Cortese: Yes you told me they would fall for it - and its working out nicely. The only problem is the fans. Matty: That's what I wanted to talk to you about Nic... I am getting some stick now from some, they dont think i should be 'making mischief' - Its not great for my reputation. Don Cortese: I see, I understand Matthew, I do, but you know how important it is that we keep up this charade dont you? Matty: Of course, Francis and I are fully behind the plan, its.. its genius, we said that at the start, but dont you worry about the fans are saying about you? Don Cortese: Me? Well, there are times when it is quite hurtful, but as I said at the start, we knew it would not be pleasent. I can live with it. Les arrrives back with a Malibu and coke Matty: Thanks Les Don Cortese: You Know Matthew, you were undoudtely the greatest footballing talent this club has ever seen... had you not had such a succession of fools as England managers, you would have been a World star - and maybe had eaten a few less pies... BUT how on earth you can drink that pi ss is beyond me MLT: Each to their own Nic, each to their own. So are we ready to initiate phase two? Don Cortese: Yes ... I think we are ready - you understand the consequences? MLT: Yes, I spoke with Laurie and Francis again yesterday - they know there may be some calatural damage. Don Cortese: Indeed. BUt teh club will be even mor indebted to you all, you know that dont you? MLT: That's why we agreed Nic - the club is bigger than all of us Don Cortese: Indeed.

Its a bit like Chelsea fans. They boo Rafa but are afraid to take their anger out on Abramovich - probably because they are afraid that he will walk and take his money with him. RB was employed by Abramovitch, he did force his way into the club. I think some people here are scared of Cortese and what would happen if he left the club. By the way, only 6 games to go before we can start to criticise our new manager (according to your 9 game rule) so it will be interesting to see what you post if things do not improve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, only 6 games to go before we can start to criticise our new manager (according to your 9 game rule) so it will be interesting to see what you post if things do not improve There are similarities between Lowe and Cirtese for sure, but just as some of the criticism of Lowe was purely down to how folk felt about him, rather than what he actuallly did, most still do not think he is as 'evil' as a few are suggesting... I disagree that some are scared - its quite simple that on the whol,e MOST would agree with what he is trying to do/achieve and the results overall suggest it is working, even if some are not totally happy with the apparent METHODs he uses, or all his decision making processes, when placed into context of the overall progress, most are willing to accept that it will come with some isues. We tend to be far more forgiving of the means when the end result is positive. And to be honest, it is pretty sad and naive if there is an expectation amongst fans, that a club chairman, with ambition and business background, in a game that is all about big buisiness is somehow meant to deliver the success we crave/demand yet please everybody all the time. Ultimately, how many like him or not is frankly irrelevent - most just want him to get on with his job and judge the success in his role by the success on the pitch. That is the Only fair way of doing so, because unless we all individually have time with him to get to know him, his thinking, his decision making process, then any opinion on personality will be based on rumour, gossip and hearsay and the stories told by others - from one side only. Think that is the reason why some criticised Matt of late - if his critique of Cortese was down to the way the club was not progressing, or hideous results, i would say fair enough, like any fan he should voice his concern - and opinion on the Adkins decision from a footballing perspective would also be welcomed, BUT his criticism is about personal issues he has and the petty spat which is of no relevence to anyone else - all it does is paint a one sided s h itty picture which the media love... Matty having a problem with Cortese is his business and no one can tell him to sort it (we should welcome the fact they will sit down together whether in 1 day or 4 weeks), so why the need for the constant ****ing about in the media?

swannymere Posted 3 February, 2013 Share Posted 3 February, 2013 Lowe was not as bad as everyone makes out, it was mainly the loony lefties at SISA stoking the fire because he had a public school accent.
