    After many years of Matt Le Tissier saving us are you glad he never succeded in aquiring the club with his consortium? I know I am. I will always be grateful for what Matty did for the club but after the last couple of seasons and the beginning of this one plus reading The Sun NC interveiw I know the right owners have taken over.The administartor at the time said he was trying to do the right thing for the club but was he really when giving Matty's lot the nod first considering who the other bidder was? I think we would've taken a long time to recover under Matty for example we would probably still have a mortgage on the stadium and more than likely some of the debt.I t is probably the only time I am glad Matty didn't save us. What do you think?

    I think its history.

    However matty genuinely had the clubs interests at heart.
    May be his desperation made him a little blinkered but as i say......History.

    Think Matty meant well by the club as he's always done, but he was duped because, like us, he was desperate about the fate of Saints. It was close to being a disaster as there was no money. Why Leihberr's offer wasn't seen as the best by the administrator we will never know, but luckily NC just hung around waiting for the other deal to fail. Can't believe how lucky we've been.

    I don't blame anyone for a second. We got the best outcome it was possible to have. The single lingering regret is that Markus isn't around to share in the fun with his mate, Nicola.
