Problem is a load of idiots do follow him and just ignoring him and not commenting allows him to influence the unfortunately impressionable unhindered.

That was it. Very deficient in judgement to write it. Perhaps he's got another book coming out. "Things history tells you, but that didn't happen". Or "101 use for a tin foil hat".

[SaintsLoyal]

Well hes clearly a total embarrassment to the club and has been since 2020 .

Lacks self awareness and probably has some kind of personality disorder like the other paranoid conspiracy theorists.

To be honest, he clearly needs to see a psychiatrist and im amazed there hasnt been no family intervention to sort that.

I would of thought after being sacked from sky sports for his 'opinions' he would have realised to keep them to himself.

I believe the club have failed to address whats been going on and should act now by removing him from the sfc foundation.

If he continues to be arrogant and stubborn then off goes his ambassador role.

 

Terribly sad, but enough fans have told him this for over two years now and hes ignored and ridiculed them.

Bucha was horrific. No neutrality. That's a completely different issue to a reaction about another man's opinion. I'm not having some pious person on the web telling me how I should be upset about what Le Tiss thinks. Bizarre carry on tbh.

That's a myth. He and others all left for the same reason, and one I won't share. Merson stayed because he had to, and Stelling initially as Merse was. I'm not sure why Stelling has decided to stay after this season. 

[woodsaint1]

Twitter is just a cesspit that brings out the worst in people, but theres no defending his conspiracy views on Ukraine. Club needs to cut its ties with him while he persists with this nonsense. You just need to look at the media work that Benali is getting now (particularly for Saints games), largely because he talks sense and doesnt get on like a knob on social media

[kyle04]

I think someone like MLT, a minor celebrity if you like, has to very very careful and double check facts before tweeting about things as serious as Bucha, or Covid for that matter. The platform is a throw away and largely vacuous media IMO (I don't subscribe personally), but once it's published cant be undone. Stupid people can easily make fools of themselves, Trump is a classic example although his tweets have at least shown the world what a complete moron he is, the same is happening to MLT who seems to be slowly drifting into paranoid mental illness. If his current concern is media manipulation I could name one country in the spotlight at the moment who is practicing this with great expertise.

There was no plan to get rid of him and that only changed with his covid conspiracy views and his non stop attack on the 'mainstream media' and thus him employer.

Just for clarification, Le tissier was sacked from sky sports because of his social media posts.

Why were Thompson and Nicholas sacked at the same time?

Tiss is exactly the type that pisses and moans about lack of free speech, even whilst utilising that platform of free speech.

Then throws toys out of the pram when anybody dares exercise their free speech to question him.

I'm not gonna lose any sleep about how he chooses his time, and don't really pay any attention to anything he says any more.

But if you position yourself as a relentless contrarian, expect to meet opposition.

Like many believers of conspiracy theory, he lacks the intelligence to critique the material he absorbs just because it goes against the norm. Conspiracy theories may occasionally have a grain of truth, but they are also bait for the naive. He is showing the same idiocy of many, so instead of acknowledging that he also might be wrong, he just digs a bigger hole. 
 

He was admired and idolised for his left foot, right foot and forehead, not the gray matter behind it. 
 

Ignore.

I get that. The ugly became dominated by politics, people switched off, and the site suffered. That said, the issue on this thread has been the OP's unwillingness to accept any opinion other than his own, plus his constant "thick c@nt" name calling and personal jibes. Sadly that kind of nonsense will damage any thread.

He makes a good point though. It's basically become one persons abusive rant (until 3am!) against anyone who didn't agree with his opening post. 

[Saint_clark]

I think the premise of the title is flawed in fairness. The only reason he's an embarrassment is BECAUSE he's a club legend, the two aren't exclusive. 

But I don't think the club should have him involved in any official capacity for a long time.

[OldNick]

As we have Serbian owners whose people voted a pro Putin president in, they may not be against what Matt is saying. He may be invited to become the Comcal Ali of football

[OldNick]

I have a MLT personalised Saints shirt that I bought in a charity auction in the 90's (cost £800). At the time only 2or 3 were MLT able to give away as it had the Premier League badge on it. Matt swapped it over from the bog standard club shop one as I had paid so much!

  It is now going to be taken down and put in a cupboard or I may get it auctioned and give the proceeds to the Ukrainian appeal. It is personalised and so may be worthless anyway.

[Winnersaint]

 

This is hilarious!

[OldNick]

MLT, we shouldn't forget, if I recall correctly nearly led us down the path to extinction when his golfing mate (Pompey fan?) made him believe he would save the club. In my opinion, Poor judgement of a character, perhaps.

Im sorry I adored MLT as much as anybody, but that does not excuse his actions now. What does a football club matter when women and children are getting raped and murdered, and he is using his position to deny this is happening. 

MLT has the mouthpiece as he gained his fame playing for us, he should not embarrass our fanbase with his ridiculous standpoint.

I dont doubt the Ukrainians have done stuff to the Russian invaders but do not try and wave through the denial that this butchery has happened.

Shame on us as a fanbase if we do

To all the fans of sfc. I have decided to step aside from my role as an ambassador of SFC. My views are my own and always have been, and it’s important to take this step today to avoid any confusion. This does not affect my relationship with and love for

[farawaysaint]

There are two options:

 

1) MLT outright missed the point of the tweet he shared meaning he is a bit thick.

2) He understood perfectly well and is now back-pedalling because of how disgusting the views are

 

I’m leaning towards 2 based on everything else he has shared over the last two years.

Hes fallen on his sword. Perhaps he was handed it by the club
