Huffton Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/articles/article.php?page_id=11395 Fair enough comments, and glad to hear the team are keeping level headed ahead of next week. Just a shame he couldn't give the fans any credit, who I thought were excellent today.

Huffton Posted 21 February, 2009 Author Posted 21 February, 2009 He did in the aftermatch interview with Tom Prenke on Radio Hanmpshire. Fair enough then.
Give it to Ron Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Mind you they have some right planks phoning in after the game.....some of the comments were unbelievable!
Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Mind you they have some right planks phoning in after the game.....some of the comments were unbelievable! i cant listen to that show...some real proper morons phone in

Plumstead_Saint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Made me laugh...one criticised Euell said he was a waste of space he was superb Yes - I'll know to turn off next time "cider bob" phones in
Weston Super Saint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 He couldn't help getting a cheap shot in at the fans though... "I'm very happy with the result and for the fans," he said. "They showed their true character in the stadium and they were supportive and we played a good game and scored goals which is what we needed to get the fans behind us." It may be pedantic, but was there any need to add the 'in the stadium' bit?
Weston Super Saint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 Yes - I'll know to turn off next time "cider bob" phones in :shock: Saint Lard was drinking cider on the match fred :shock:
Thedelldays Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 He couldn't help getting a cheap shot in at the fans though... It may be pedantic, but was there any need to add the 'in the stadium' bit? true colours...hmmm I waould say if he was having a go if the fans were 'bad'...if the fans were good then surely what he says is a good thing.. I have heard him say the support was fanstastic and he willed the team to win it for the fans...(on ssn just now)

I have heard him say the support was fanstastic and he willed the team to win it for the fans...(on ssn just now) I agree with you, he did say the support was fantastic. I'm just asking if it was necessary for him to add 'in the stadium', which to me leaves the unsaid 'out of the stadium', which IMHO is implying the fans outside were crap! He could have just left it at 'They showed their true character'.

Fact of life TDD whatever is said WILL be picked apart, it's human nature I'm afraid, for which I won't apologise

Fact of life TDD whatever is said WILL be picked apart, it's human nature I'm afraid, for which I won't apologise and it is also human nature for other humans to have digs... both sides are as bad.. wotte is not the only manager to do so..even fergie questioned man u fans a few years ago when they finished 3rd and some thought he should go....
CanadaSaint Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 I think most open-minded people would be more positive about Wotte if he hadn't been so quick to sound like Rupert's parrot. He's made some mistakes in team selection but at least he appears to be learning from them. He seems capable of adjusting in a way JP never really was. For me, he's as good as his last game, and right now that's pretty damn good. If he could just drop the needless comments and make sure that the side shows the fight we expect, things will settle down.
ooohTerryHurlock Posted 21 February, 2009 Posted 21 February, 2009 I think we should try to remember that although his English is good (probably better than most on here) he is from the Netherlands so some of what he says may get lost in translation - give the guy a break and lets see if we can get out of this mess!
modern matron Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Like I said, I may be being pedantic, but like I also said, people in a position to get there opinions aired in public, need to choose their words carefully. Fact of life TDD whatever is said WILL be picked apart, it's human nature I'm afraid, for which I won't apologise Please stop being the judge and jury on everything Wotte says. I heard his interviews and he was praising the fans - in fact he tried to say that was he all he was intending earlier in the week - sadly people like you want to find fault......
sperm_john Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 whoever said i like the fact hes arrogant and ****y had it spot on! its good he's self confident, quite right when they said the best prem managers have a ****y side to them...
SFC Forever Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Great result but Cardiff are next. We still tired in the second half though some of the pressure could have been fear induced. Another good result is required for us to start believing in miracles once again. Still it is a start and a good one.

Alain Perrin Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 To be honest if we have fans who interpret the nuance of a sentence to fit their own agenda, then he's not far wrong with his "true supporters" claim....
manji Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 To be honest if we have fans who interpret the nuance of a sentence to fit their own agenda, then he's not far wrong with his "true supporters" claim.... You are not wrong.Some of our "fans" are so bloody precious. Hes now getting stick for only praising the fans in the stadium ! If I were him Im not sure I would be bigging up the road sitters.
JohnnyFartPants Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 There was no reason for Wotte not to have mentioned the car industry suffering in this recent downturn in the economy. He should have said the fans were fantastic and Ford make lovely cars. Wotte out!

Weston Super Saint Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 people claiming he did not give fans credit are embarassing themselves Who's claiming that? Apart from the OP who didn't read the article...
Gingeletiss Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 You two must be the chuckle brothers..................ffs
Red and White Army Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Just a shame he couldn't give the fans any credit, who I thought were excellent today. Did you actually read his comments? He said "Wotte also had plenty of praise for the fans at St. Mary's and was pleased to finally be able to send them home happy. "I'm very happy with the result and for the fans," he said. "They showed their true character in the stadium and they were supportive and we played a good game and scored goals which is what we needed to get the fans behind us."
SFC Forever Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 Maybe my english isn't as good as some. That said Wotte in his statement praised every fan watching the game. No mention of the few who chose not to enter after the march. Thus he actually seemed to include the marchers as the vast majority watched the game as well. "They showed their true character in the stadium and they were supportive" in no way, to me, is having a dig at the marchers. It could even be a back handed compliment if you look hard enough. The marchers showed their feelings about the board outside and cheered the team on like crazy. He is unlikely to say much against the regime now is he? I for one still have my doubts about his prowess but badly want him to succeed. Some on here seem paranoid.
SaintRobbie Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 That picture of Wotte and Gorre (dancing!?) HAS to be a caption competition.
thorpie the sinner Posted 22 February, 2009 Posted 22 February, 2009 That picture of Wotte and Gorre (dancing!?) HAS to be a caption competition. Wotte had saints half time and full time with ladbrokes obviously!!!
