Jeff Le Taxi Posted 25 May, 2009 Posted 25 May, 2009 I see on Facebook that Leon Crouch has joined the Matt Le Tissier For Southampton Manager group! http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/group.php?gid=47307247113 Is this a statement of intent?
Mole Posted 25 May, 2009 Posted 25 May, 2009 As has been said on the thread discussing this it's not the real Leon Crouch.
Saint Stimp Posted 25 May, 2009 Posted 25 May, 2009 I thought we already established that no-one else did though.. not from this forum anyway.
SaintJackoInHurworth Posted 25 May, 2009 Posted 25 May, 2009 Whether or not the Leon Crouch on Facebook is the real Leon Crouch, I notice that among his friends is Dave Merrington. Is that the real Dave Merrington? And among Dave Merrington's friends are a number of Saints players and staff past and present including: Josh Dutton Black Danny Wallace Ray Wallace Reuben Agboola Claus Lundekvam Theo Walcott Mark Wotte Also Nick Illingsworth's name is there too! So... are any of those genuine or are they all fakes?
Mole Posted 25 May, 2009 Posted 25 May, 2009 Mark Wotte on facebook is a con IMO. Probably Skates or SFC fans trying to be devious in getting info.
Colinjb Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Matt MUST NOT be manager. He is too nice a guy to be a succesful manager. I adore the bloke but he should not risk his legendary status, under no circustances should he make himself that vulnerable. Matt, you have nothing to prove, you are already loved and respected. You do not have the duty to 'save us' again. Don't do it.

ottery st mary Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Lot of respect for Danny and his wife/family for supporting him and bringing him back. He is looking good and for himself and his family and friends has a lot to live for.May God give him the strength to continue and do so much for MS and all the other sufferers. Top Man.
egreog Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Completely bananas idea!!.....MLT is a legend as a player...... he is NOT a manager!!
SaintKenny Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Jeff Cole made them up to make his poorly founded Matt for manager page hold more substance.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 26 May, 2009 Author Posted 26 May, 2009 Jeff Cole made them up to make his poorly founded Matt for manager page hold more substance. I suppose he 'made up' the other 1400 as well then!
The9 Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Josh Dutton Black isn't a fake. Having once "6 degrees of separationed" on Friends Lists via you to Gemma Atkinson via Fabrice Muamba and Cristiano Ronaldo I have to agree. It was a while ago though, I think celebs are a bit more savvy with their security now.
SaintKenny Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 I suppose he 'made up' the other 1400 as well then! Nah, just a few, the others see the made up accounts and go along with it.
Saint Stimp Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 I bet if he ever did take the job there'd be people on here hoping he failed so they could be right. It is obviously far more important to be right than for Saints to do well afterall. All these people who seem to know he wouldn't be good, I'm not quite sure what the source is. They insult him by comparing the situation to Hoddle, or insult fans by suggesting his status would be diminished if he failed. No, it wouldn't. Nothing about his playing career would be changed in the eyes of anyone with any ounce of common sense. Some of us want him to have the chance because when it comes to saints he does work very hard and would be the best manager he could be. Above that, when it comes to football, he's a very, very intelligent guy. For me that's more important than anger and shouting. You can't question passion just because of the way he played, that's media nonsense. Anyone who saw him play knew how much he cared but could see he knew the only way to help was his natural game. Likewise, anyone watching sky sports now can see his passion for saints. He'd need help from more experienced coaches, he'd get it. But he has the ability to do well as a manager, I have no idea why so many doubt him so much. They'd prefer to turn to Shearer, a man who's heart is with another club, has no personality and a tenth of the footballing intelligence. Brilliant. That's about the stupidest thing I've read on here in a while. I didn't even bother to read the rest of the probable garbage you've written.
Legod Third Coming Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Matt MUST NOT be manager. He is too nice a guy to be a succesful manager. I adore the bloke but he should not risk his legendary status, under no circustances should he make himself that vulnerable. Matt, you have nothing to prove, you are already loved and respected. You do not have the duty to 'save us' again. Don't do it. Never mind whether he is a nice guy or a nasty piece of work, the point is he has as much proof of being adept at management as Mother Theresa. Can we please just do what successful clubs like Everton have done (I use them because there was a time we regularly played and beat them) and sign a manager with a proven record at another club and back him for the long term? Seriously, some people would think football is rocket science judged on the way we go about finding and suggesting managers. Who next, Claus???!!!
Arizona Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 How low in their goals would someone have to sink to be impersonating Josh Dutton Black? I remember seeing a few others which looked real a while ago. By real I mean the photos weren't the first pic which came up on Google and you really would have to be a special case to want to impersonate one of them. Baseya, Nile Ranger, Lancashire are three I can remember. There is also a fake Prutton, Skacel, Saganowski, L. Crouch and several Rupert Lowes on there.
Mole Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Matt MUST NOT be manager. Agreed. I don't think my bestest behaviour on here would last once the troll (19C) started slagging him off.

ulstersaint Posted 26 May, 2009 Posted 26 May, 2009 Let's learn from Newcastle. They clamoured for a messiah (Keegan, Shearer) rather than a manager (Robson, Allardyce) and are in deep trouble.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 27 May, 2009 Author Posted 27 May, 2009 Shearer hasnt built his own team as yet! give him a bloody chance!
eelpie Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 No. No. No. No. No. No. No. Matt MUST NOT be manager. He is too nice a guy to be a succesful manager.

You do not have the duty to 'save us' again. Don't do it. Matt enjoys creature comforts too much, too. I can't see him installing a regime of fitness in the players. Genius as he was, he was putting on weight and did like the clubs and bars, just a little. We need a teetotal fitness maniac who can put the fear of god in the players, like Strachan or similar. Matt could be a brill penalty-taker coach though.
sotonjoe Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Crouch's current facebook status = Leon Crouch Is Hoping For Saints To Brought Tommorow! Fake account or as illiterate as most of the posters on here?
Arizona Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Crouch's current facebook status = Leon Crouch Is Hoping For Saints To Brought Tommorow! Fake account or as illiterate as most of the posters on here? Quite obviously both.
Saint Stimp Posted 27 May, 2009 Posted 27 May, 2009 Rubbish! it was a sensible well written argument FOR something you are clearly AGAINST! The first paragraph wasn't - it was a load of absolute balls.
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 1 June, 2009 Author Posted 1 June, 2009 Matt will have a pivotal role at the club - and I would urge you all to never under estimate this man's ability. You all know of his amazing skills as a footballer. As a friend of his for a number of years, I also know the other side of Matt, and believe me, he has a very wise head on those shoulders. Quoted from Tony Lynams Pinnacle statement, What is the pivotal role ?
