Lets B Avenue Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 Only saw this last night as I didnt fancy coming on here and I cant see any reference to it yesterday. Ladies and Gentlemen (and Trolls) pray silence for the SWF Uber-Fuhrer. Mr Steve Grant. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/southampton/9904023/Harry-Redknapps-relegation-with-QPR-would-give-us-closure-say-Southampton-fans.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonjoe Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 It's attitudes like those expressed in that article which saw us lose yesterday. Some people need to get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Tender Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 It was a reasonable enough point of view, expressed well. In particular Steve is spot on regarding the way that Redcrapp's failure to ensure the continuance of our proud 27 years in the Premiership had been airbrushed from history. Perhaps if/when QPR are relegated under him, the press will realise that labelling him as Harry Houdini makes them look stupid. Also, they have found it easy to credit him with the success he achieved with the Skates whilst ignoring the resulting fallout from his open chequebook over-spending which took them right to the very precipice of their continued existence once he had left. It's a shame that we were unable to beat the team that is his latest opportunity to overspend somebody else's money and to enrich himself further by way of creative accounting, but we will have to settle instead for their relegation if other teams are less charitable to them than we were. As for that comment from a supposed Saints fan, believing conservatively that there are perhaps 40,000 Saints fans around the World, he's probably out by a factor of at least 5, if not 10. We had more than that at the Paint Pot trophy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadoldgit Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 I have lots of sympathy with this and yesterdays result will live in the top 3 worst Saints results for me. I am still trying to work out why Cortese thought this was a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceandfriendly Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 "...then we can get on with our lives again" bit (a lot) over the top, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VectisSaint Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 I think Henri Camara joined in the January transfer window, after Redknapp was appointed, so to be fair (and it pains me to be) he was actually a Redknapp signing. The rest were rubbish though as Steve said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadia Sllim Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 Well put just hope we all get some closure soon (May), awful game yesterday can see this going to the wire. Anyway last day stay up and town will be rocking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 "...then we can get on with our lives again" bit (a lot) over the top, no? Well, no. It's called "a turn of phrase". Well done Steve. A nicely written piece. Apart from the fact that Camara wasn't here before Arry.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had more than that at the Paint Pot trophy. This. Good post. I am also very p!ssed off that we didn't stuff Henry's lot yesterday. In fact, to me, it is virtually unforgivable that Pochettino failed to give us that victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest were rubbish though as Steve said. Yes. If my memory serves correctly, Camara was brought in (on loan) with some of the money we got for the sale of Beattie.

niceandfriendly Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 Well, no. It's called "a turn of phrase". well spotted that man. a turn of phrase. yep. a completely over the top turn of phrase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 3 March, 2013 Share Posted 3 March, 2013 well spotted that man. a turn of phrase. yep. a completely over the top turn of phrase. Only if you actually think that Steve can't get on with the rest of his life until QPR are relegated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest were rubbish though as Steve said. Yeah, they edited out a bit I added there which clarified that Camara effectively replaced Beattie in January - the point still stands that he had access to that strikeforce and still managed to take us down.
