Lallana's Left Peg Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 Comes across as quite bitter to me. He had another opportunity and he took it. We're going to hate him for it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baird of the land Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 Comes across as quite bitter to me. He had another opportunity and he took it. We're going to hate him for it now? I'm definitely looking forward to him failing and getting sacked. Hardly like he even tried to take us to the next level, just walked off to a club that is itself outside the big boys.

aintforever Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 What's wrong with being bitter? I don't hate the bloke but will laugh like a drain when he inevitably gets sacked next February at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batman Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 It's odd A manager goes to a bigger contract and bigger club, he is a **** A player goes and we wish him all the best MP did say to us that he would find it hard to stay here without cortese. Guess he kept his word At least he didn't walk out mid season, I guess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norwaysaint Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 Shouldn't be bitter about him leaving, we sack managers pretty easily, so he could hardly expect loyalty the other way round. He could easily have turned spurs down, then been sacked in a year if things went badly or the owner had another manager lined up that she preferred, happens all the time.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 (edited) Don't feel bitter - his employer effectively changed so he couldn't stay. Says something about the new Board though. Just hope we have enough to give them a tougher test than this season and can get a win. Certainly the team should know how to go about beating his Spurs side.

31GARRY Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 I do like a good "open letter". The person they are writing to never reads it. It is just a attention seeking whinge about a bloke who got a better job. How many of us have left our jobs and gone to better paid work? I support Saints not ex employees who leave for a better job. So I would rather say "Cheers Poch and good luck in the new job" Now lets move on, I have a club to support!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Warrior Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 Squarez lawyer is suggesting squarez may be on the move after all Also I saw a Facebook article where the Liverpool fans are quite angry at the signing of SRL some are suggesting he past it and that they were expecting the club to make world class purchases. .

angelman Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 I disagree, thought it was a bit too petty and ill thought out. I thought MP's letter was as well. It's akin to your girlfriend dumping you and then saying that you can still be friends (and then later trying to nick your prized possessions now she's comfortably shacked up with someone else). Let's not forget he was saying that he was on a contract and couldn't understand what the fuss was about in signing an extension. Nor forget that he was pimping himself around France. It would have been far better to not say anything rather than try and ingratiate himself with us. I know that it is petty, but looking back on his tenure, he was one grumpy bastard. While it made a nice change from Adkins's happy clappy approach, he could have been more enthusiastic about life. Was he always grumpy or was it just at the end?

SaintRobbie Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 I thought that was quite good... tell you why. After a **** week we've gained a little hope back that Les Reed and our Board might - just might - hold on to our better players and appoint a potentially better manager than Spurs have. I thought it showed we are bigger than MoPo. Future might be bright. Might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austsaint Posted 1 June, 2014 Share Posted 1 June, 2014 Fantastic? Don't think so, more bitter, than bitter-sweet. The fact that Glasgow or whatever his name is now likes it nails it to a mediocre place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david in sweden Posted 2 June, 2014 Share Posted 2 June, 2014 (edited) nicely worded. Wish I'd thought of it myself . but i might add. you'll find out that managing a team of " egotistical over-paid superstars " in a club that (now) has a long history of not winning lots of trophies isn't the same as purring sweet-nothings to our Academy graduates. However, in the long run you'll come out OK. ... because even getting sacked at New Year ....will mean a very nice pay-off on the remaining 4½ years of your contract. But ..for old times' sake) ....I'll say.... Good luck - you may need a lot of it. Edited 2 June, 2014 by david in sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
