9-3 Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Matt has always stated that there is a dark side to Cortese and things we don't know about him but could not say. Would be brilliant if MLT was made some sort of spokesman for the Club to calm things down. On a lighter note, we will be wearing red and white stripes at our next home match? Duncan Holley is waiting outside the Club Shop to ship in 'All the Saints' book!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgie Posted 15 January, 2014 Share Posted 15 January, 2014 Some said a lot of stories about Cortese would come out when he left. Well here we are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duncan Holley is waiting outside the Club Shop to ship in 'All the Saints' book!!!! Why should he come to the aid of a club that has **** on him for the last few years? Why should he steady the ship rocked by a person who does not like him? Le Tissier will always be the modern face of the club whether he is on the inside or not, it simply takes a bit for most to see thats all.

david in sweden Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Why should he come to the aid of a club that has **** on him for the last few years? Why should he steady the ship rocked by a person who does not like him? Le Tissier will always be the modern face of the club whether he is on the inside or not, it simply takes a bit for most to see thats all. If you mean his disagreement with the now former Chairman, I think that was a purely personal issue between the two of them - wasn't it? Most other people, both in and involved with the club still hold MLT in high esteem, I'm sure. I expect to see a number of other former luminaries " re-patriated " after being deemed persona non grata in recent years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bewildered Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 http://www.goaldengoals.co.uk/good-news-pochettino-staying-saints-may-still-sold/ MLT column on his website about the past couple of days GOOD NEWS POCHETTINO IS STAYING-BUT SAINTS MAY STILL BE SOLD! Mauricio Pochettino’s decision to stay on as Southampton manager is good news for the stability of the club. Had the Argentinean left then maybe their season would have fallen to pieces. It would have rocked the boat had he gone at this juncture especially if, as speculated, a number of players had followed him out of the door. The majority of Saints fans will be pleased to see him staying on even though the team is having a bit of a wobble at the moment. Maybe one of the important factors behind his decision was his relationship with the players. They seem to have a pretty good team spirit among the squad and the players appear to like him. He’s come out in his press conference today saying none of his stars are for sale which is great to hear. But he had backed himself in a bit of corner with the statement he made in the summer: If Nicola Cortese goes then I go. Maybe in hindsight he will learn from that and not make such rash statements like that again. You never know it may have been a case where he was put in a position where he had to say that. I’m not particularly surprised by Chairman Nicola Cortese’s departure after what happened the last time the transfer window was open. His toys came out of the pram a little bit when he wanted more money for transfers and he got the backing then. So for him to kick-off again is this transfer window was slightly inevitable but with difference consequences. There will probably be a lot of fans, who are only concerned about what happens on the pitch, who will think this is bad thing for the club, which is quite understandable. But I think anybody who’s had any dealings with the man will think completely differently. A lot of them will think “Good riddance” to be honest because he upset quite a lot of people with the way he conducted his business. We had our own differences of opinions but I didn’t lose any sleep over it. The fact he’s actually chosen to walk away at a fairly crucial time in the transfer window, with a couple of weeks left to strengthen the squad, proves he didn’t have the best interest of the club at heart. It was always a case with him of having the best interest of Nicola Cortese’s heart. If he had gone about his business in a different way he would have been a huge hero with everybody. It was a shame that there were bits he did off the field that he kind of spoilt when everything else was going so well. I don’t think Cortese’s departure will ever change the fact that the club might still be sold. If the Liebherr family were going to sell, and the price was right, they were going to do it whether Cortese was chairman or not. They are an incredibly wealthy family and they make their money by doing good business deals. They could probably double the money they paid for the club and invested if they sold now. If that’s what their business is it’s inevitable they will sell whoever is in charge. But I still think the Liebherr family are owed as lot of gratitude whatever happens. You cannot disguise the fact that they put in a large amount of money when the club was all but on its knees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a lying snake who is focused on one thing and one thing only. Himself. You truly are a bitter and twisted individual. Focussing on himself got us 53 places up the league, a world class manager, financial stability, redevelopment of training ground, England recognition for players, an Italian international no9 to sign for us ... Yeh a real selfish snake eh..... He ran us like a business and was successful in everything he did. He upset people. Tough **** it's a tough world out there.

Wow!! not sure many people will agree with that, firstly - did he use his own money on us, or was he paid to do a job? I of course know its not that simple, but my god, come on. MLT is my hero, and a sound guy, (cheers for the above link) I don't want NC back, and just want to move on. I'm 100% behind the team.
