Wait, people actually think Jack Schitt is an ITK? <laugh>

But are you disagreeing with his 'facts' or just saying he's not itk?
Can you summarise the same period thus indicating where you disagree with his interpretation?
Because as a summary its more readable than a bunch of threads whether it be true or otherwise and I think some of it is generally agreed ...
itks are like 'experts' in the media in that if you want to find one to support a particular view then you probably can

Basically all he has written there is made up in his head

and yet it sounds as credible (if not more) as many other itks
so in the age of the interweb how do the nitks decide who to believe?

e.g. You said "99% of all footballers are twats" now a) I don't think its likely that 99% of footballers are all anything, except maybe men! b) that's very emotive and therefore, in my experience, probably a bit wide of the mark. c) How many have you met to make this judgement? because d) I think I can come up with a few current Saints who aren't e.g. Oriel, Davo, Maya, Kelv

so that's your credibility blown matey ;)

That isn't me being in the know though (I don't consider myself one). The guy takes peoples info then posts it days or weeks after, but then adds about a thousand lines. His stuff about Puel is bullshit and about 5 paragraphs too long. Bertrand stuff is just rehashed.

Also according to Jay's dad, Jay is staying.

Also I know a few current Saints footballers and they don't act like dick heads. But still wouldn't be surprised if they left us if a big team came in. So dick heads in my view. :emoticon-0110-tongu

He's a decent writer that spins the essentially known facts into a believable lexicon.

That makes sense to me and matches my world view quite well, which is convenient

Seems a bit harsh on Mick Channon :D

Rodiguez will hopefully be 5th choice next year and never see the field, wonder what his family will have to say about that.

Jay's dad is alright in person. Bit of a moany old bastard, but not that bad.

Claude talks about his sacking....hinting at other than football reasons. He mentions the sacking coming rather late and that he wouldn't talk to other clubs whilst under contract.....sounds like he may have missed opportunities because we held off finally releasing him. Bit sad if true.

He seems satisfied with his season here....and, as I said before, I didn't feel he deserved the sack, so it cannot be considered a failure. However, we are used to a different style of play and all was not well in paradise...so we need to move on and hope the next appointment works out....and we don't then lose the manager to a bigger club. :(

That bit about not talking to other clubs whilst under contract stinks . Someone is lying , unless the whole st Etienne stuff was bollocks . We will never know .
 
The chief at St Etienne said that they would have considered Puel, but he was under contract....so it rings true that he was holding off whilst under contract to Saints.

CLAUDE PUEL IN INTEGRITY SHOCK

It is revealed today that Claude Puel, Southampton's ex-manager did not have talks with other clubs while under contract to SFC. If this allegation proves to be true, Puel will be charged by the Federation of Football Managers with bringing the game into disrepute. Their spokesman told The Mail:

"We expect all of our members to act like egotistical money grabbing bastards. Puel may have dragged the reputation of our members up a notch or two by his actions. This is completely unacceptable. BTW, how much are you bunging me for this ****?"
