Dig Dig Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Surely we can start to hear about some of these nasty Nic stories now? He's gone so nothing to stop some of our esteemed posters from sharing all of the horrible, nasty stuff NC has done.... Posters have regularly used the "if only you knew" line with actually very little actual detail or evidence to back it up. Should be plenty of them to share considering the masses of ex-employees/sponsors etc who have been unfairly treated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 According to this BBC article he was a lovely man http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25420261 Spend a few hours at Southampton's Marchwood training centre and you will form a different view of Cortese, The kit men and the groundsmen know him as Nicola, not Mr Chairman. He knows the names of their wives and family. He sends birthday cards. He actually seems to care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm convinced that most of the abhorrers are actually people sacked or made redundant by the club at some time or other, unless of course there are a few who've had their freebies truncated.

Being the boss is being disliked. Has there ever been a boss of an organisation the size of Saints where the person in charge is loved by every single current/former employee?

Window Cleaner Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Ted Bates? Ooh you probably weren't around in about 69/70 but Ted Bates was not loved upon the Milton. It was always said that he only kept the job because his wife's money funded the club. How true that was I just can't remember, it was Milton talk anyway.

Window Cleaner Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 One specific year:lol: But even 3 years later everyone was pleased when he stepped down for Lawrie (not that i think he had much choice in the matter anyway) As the current parlance would say "he'd taken us as far as he could". Even when we got relegated no-one was whining about bringing him back (as they would be now) he was still Lawrie's assistant at the time and nothing would have been easier.

Wilko Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Only libel if false! Not quite true. The burden of proof falls upon the publisher. Therefore, unless there's solid proof to back the claims being made, Cortese would still have a good case against the owners of this website.

Barry Sanchez Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 "You can't handle the truth!" According to this forum it needs to be proved that a section of football terrace supporters were disgruntled for a season out of 50 so thereby making him unpopular, so unpopular they gave him two statues. So much so he was given the freedom of the City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was and it was with a question mark was that is as popular as you are ever going to get and face it has there ever been as loved a man on and off the pitch? Really has there? I dont know hence the question mark, but as its me people dont read it, they ignorantly jump upon it. They do make me laugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sanchez Posted 20 January, 2014 Share Posted 20 January, 2014 Eh? I have been told many times to link something or prove something, someone has said Ted Bates was not popular for one year on the terraces in the late 60's, obviously this kept him up late in his life........................................
