Hatch Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Mick should start tomorrow. Stick the number 8 shirt on him and shove him out there.
Bald Headed Jesus Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Good watch. Good to see Mick looking pretty healthy. Great scenes from the cup, which can also be seen here if anyone hasn't seen them on BBC website: http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/fa_cup/7783151.stm
Junior Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Matt le tiss on SSN now too! I never thought i'd say this, but PT was 100% spot on.... i just hope RL was listening!!!!! THE FANS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE CLUB!!!!

Causer Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 I thought those feature on sky and bbc were brilliant Channon showing our history and Thompson and Le Tiss putting the boot in to the boards who have destroyed the present.
Under Weststand Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Matt le tiss on SSN now too! I never thought i'd say this, but PT was 100% spot on.... i just hope RL was listening!!!!! THE FANS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE CLUB!!!! Yes also agree with everything both Matt & Phill Thompson have just said.
Saints1980 Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Yes also agree with everything both Matt & Phill Thompson have just said. Agreed. Phil Thompson has just gone up in my estimations.
Saint_Jonny Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 bugger, i missed all of this cos i was watching animal park... lol
Nadia Sllim Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Agreed. Phil Thompson has just gone up in my estimations. Stand up pinocchio's you both got it spot on!
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Matt le tiss on SSN now too! I never thought i'd say this, but PT was 100% spot on.... i just hope RL was listening!!!!! THE FANS ARE THE LIFE BLOOD OF THE CLUB!!!! Matt seemed to be hinting that the loss of the club finances is near to criminal neglect! Certainly that it is inexplicable how so much money could go missing. I think the Hampshire Constabulary may be interested in examining our shareholders finances after that!
um pahars Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Matt was also pretty unequivocal in that he wanted the majority shareholders gone as well. Also made the point how no one has been prepared to accept their part in the downfall of the Club, but instead want to blame others all the time.
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Great to see MLT coming off the fence and although not mentioning names summing up the ineptitude of the boardroom so well and saying all need to be removed from the club. Surprised to be honest - MLT is usually much more reserved. 'Only hope is a takeover'. I agree Matt. So, lets go and find one TOGETHER.

Certainly that it is inexplicable how so much money could go missing. I think the Hampshire Constabulary may be interested in examining our shareholders finances after that! One of RL's fellow directors at W H Ireland broke Stock Exchange rules recently by borrowing money against his own shares.......... :cool:
Big Poppa Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Great point by Phil Thompson, where has the money gone???
Under Weststand Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 bugger, i missed all of this cos i was watching animal park... lol Just a quick reprise of what was said. Stelling asked Matt about the state of the club referred to the stormy AGM the thirty pieces of silver thrown at Lowe. Matt questioned basically where all the money had gone from all the sales, stelling realed off a list of crouch bale extra extra said nobody would take responsibility for the position we are in & said we need a complete new board and start again. Thompson then asked a lot of similar questions & then hit at the new type of boards who alienate the fan base & said the Fans are the true life blood of the clubs. Very brief but the bare bones of it.

Andy_Porter Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Agreed. Phil Thompson has just gone up in my estimations. Same here, fair play.
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Cheers for the brief mate MLT also said we're a Premiership Club in waiting with infractructure etc but a poor squad likely to lose the better youth players in the coming weeks. He also said only hope was for a takeover but where it would come from is unknown.
Delmary Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Matt was also pretty unequivocal in that he wanted the majority shareholders gone as well. Also made the point how no one has been prepared to accept their part in the downfall of the Club, but instead want to blame others all the time.Nail on head. 1. Lowe's management strategy got us relegated from the Premiership. 2. Wilde brought in useless executives who negligently managed the club's accounts. 3. Crouch backed Wilde's dreamland plan. 4. Wilde backed Lowe's dreamland plan. Matt's right they are all to blame and should sell-up.
IrishSaint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 What a great bit by Sky, MLT and PT were perfect. It was great to hear from Matt on the situation, you can tell he really does have Southampton at heart! I totally agree with what he said and he was very clever how he said it: past and present board members are to blame but they just fight and blame each other. Southampton needs to get rid of them all, RL, MW, LC, LM, AC - they all have to take a share of the blame. The problem is, they all have big ego's, they might want to do things for good reasons but their ego's tell them to fight with each other. The AGM is a prime example, they are a bunch of kids at the end of the day. MLT explained that better than me but deep down, he had it spot on, well done!

SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Nail on head. 1. Lowe's management strategy got us relegated from the Premiership. 2. Wilde brought in useless executives who negligently managed the club's accounts. 3. Crouch backed Wilde's dreamland plan. 4. Wilde backed Lowe's dreamland plan. Matt's right they are all to blame and should sell-up. Agree.
saint1977 Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 I'm sure deep down even the most ardent Lowe, Wilde & Crouch supporters would struggle to disagree with Matt's views. They are becoming a rare breed on this site. I'd put all the major shareholders plus Grandad Guy all in a dingy and send it out from Calshot in a Force 9 Gale.

Matt's right they are all to blame and should sell-up. bit simplistic but fair summary. The suggested solution is exactly why I will not back boycott/protests as the answer is not so much getting those to go but getting decent guys in - unless I know there are people waiting to come in but are being prevented.
davefoggy Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 can anyone put the MLT sky bit on youtube? i would like to have seen that
View From The Top Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 I'm sure deep down even the most ardent Lowe, Wilde & Crouch supporters would struggle to disagree with Matt's views. You're joking right? SOG, Manji, Jonah, Crabby etc are so far up Lowe's @rse that he could be revealed as the reincarnation of Stain and they'd just say that he is misunderstood. It's these sort of co cks that moaned and moaned and moaned when Wilde and Crouch were in charge and didn't bother going to games who are about to get the club they deserve, in League 1.
Dalek2003 Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Nail on head. 1. Lowe's management strategy got us relegated from the Premiership. 2. Wilde brought in useless executives who negligently managed the club's accounts. 3. Crouch backed Wilde's dreamland plan. 4. Wilde backed Lowe's dreamland plan. Matt's right they are all to blame and should sell-up. Point 1: In other words the appointment of PS, a League 1 manager with no Premier experience. He could have appointed someone else with Premier experience, and I am not necessarily talking about Hoddle !
WealdSaint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 wonder if Rupert will ring up Matt and shout at him in his usual tactful way! also maybe Matt will be erased from the os (or pravda/chairman lowes little red book)
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Point 1: In other words the appointment of PS, a League 1 manager with no Premier experience. He could have appointed someone else with Premier experience, and I am not necessarily talking about Hoddle ! No - there was absolutely no mention of that being the reason I'm afraid. Just that all of the shareholders and boardroom before and since relegation have seemingly squandered alot of money and led us down... and are continuing to do so, thus ALL need to be removed and the club, which incidentally is well supported with Premiership infrastructure, needs a takeover... but from where? That is the key summary for me of MLTs words. The only hope is a takeover... now lets go find one instead of letting the Club continue to be eaten away.
SW11_Saint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Agreed. Phil Thompson has just gone up in my estimations. He does actually have some So'ton links - his Dad worked in the docks for years.
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 wonder if Rupert will ring up Matt and shout at him in his usual tactful way! also maybe Matt will be erased from the os (or pravda/chairman lowes little red book) You joke - but it was as risky as I have ever heard from MLT. Maybe Lowe will.
SaintRobbie Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 He does actually have some So'ton links - his Dad worked in the docks for years. A scouser with closer links than Wilde!
IrishSaint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Any one ever thought about attaching a house 'for sale' sign to a flag pole outside the stadium? could be quite funny. or trying to smuggle 'for sale' signs into the stadium?
Toomer Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Now just wait for that **** Lowe to remove MLTs name from the club, how long before he has Teds statue pulled down because Crouch paid for it.
buctootim Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Now just wait for that **** Lowe to remove MLTs name from the club, how long before he has Teds statue pulled down because Crouch paid for it. Ah. Were back to the baby eating mindset I see.
alpine_saint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 They are becoming a rare breed on this site. I'd put all the major shareholders plus Grandad Guy all in a dingy and send it out from Calshot in a Force 9 Gale. Amen to that..
alpine_saint Posted 3 January, 2009 Posted 3 January, 2009 Ah. Were back to the baby eating mindset I see. Considering a picture of a train from Doncaster Rovers is more important than a picture of the only manager we've had to win us a major trophy - holding his achievement - in that man's eyes, anything is possible.
slickmick Posted 5 January, 2009 Posted 5 January, 2009 How we could do with the likes of Mick Channon within the corridors of St Marys. The positivety and self belief just oozes from the man.
