    Everyone leaves some time. After all he is mortal.... He is mortal, isn't he?

    redstripe76 has been a member for almost a year, only made 20 posts and all of them anti-Cortese. My money is on Mitch Le Tissier.

    My theory is that it is actually cortese, and his anti cortese sentiment is a ruse in order to avoid arousing suspicion.

    So you'd like Saints to be either a club who used to exist or being owned by someone with no money and no vision, I take it..?

    A simple answer will do.

    Let's be fair to the guy, both his old article and his article now agreed with the consensus (importantly of Saints fans) at the time

    How do you get those words from me just highlighting newspaper articles that all say the same thing ?

    Might as well just print a full page photo of Cortese ala Leeds United programme declaring Cortese is god.

    We are currently being run by offshore loans and the relationship with the owner is unknown.


    Dont you just love people with no morals, as long as we win football matches nothing else matters. very strange behaviour.

    You said puke, why did you bring that up? You are entitled to the opinion that you express, but it seems to based on something personal rather than support for the Club, and certainly a minority view, even if it was right, which in my opinion is just misguided.

    The BBC article headline should read

    Pardew, Lambert, Adkins at the heart of Southampton success.

    Thats how football works.

    Did Nicola steal your wife or something? Mind you, the way you're drivelling on, nobody could have blamed her for leaving....

    The fact is some things need to be pointed out and the bigger picture highlighted.

    'Support for the club' comes from 30 years of doing so.

    I dont need to agree to 'scripted' media articles to support SFC.

    Okay. Let's give you a chance. What credit do you think Cortese deserves? After all, the three people you mention that should be credited - Pardew, Adkins, Lambert - were all brought into the club by.....well......y'know.....Cortese.

    Very interesting pont. This needs to be given the same consideration as the contributor gave it!

    Dont you think the scripted article on 'detail' loses its credibility when we look at players like Gaston Ramirez, Mayuka, Forren ?

    Forren £2m down the drain

    Mayuka is on big wages and a five year deal ! We will lose a couple of million on him.

    Then we have the disaster thats Gaston Ramirez who cost £13 million and is earning £75k a week.

    So talking about so called 'detail' is all abit laughable.

    And some might say those players were not chosen by the manager.

    Hodgson is said to be preparing in advance for our opening World Cup game...has probably just been told he has to ship out beds if he wants to take any Saints' players.
