Hmmm.... Methinks its not that simple. From what I can tell, the onus is FLT to wind his neck in. He clearly has a chip on his shoulder about NC that refers to his failed takeover and has made that clear time and time again through his media offerings, but has dangled the carrot of saying that he will keep it under his hat until NC is no longer at the club to keep interest up.

I can't help thinking that whatever he did try to reveal... He's made it into something that it really isn't with considerable help from his son who seems an out and out tool.


It will probably be some kind of thing like... That cortese is a ruthless bastard who wouldn't give me the time of day.... Doesn't he know who I am... That kind of scenario.

In the same way I wouldn't expect to criticise the finer points of jotting the ball in from 35 yards after some cheeky flicks, I wouldn't expect MLT to even begin to know how to run a successful football club as a viable and progressive business.

Whilst FLT will remain a childhood hero of mine, he will also be an ever present reminder of how not to conduct oneself based on past glory.


Ha ha ha

You really need to find out the facts mush like being banned from buying tickets, benali, season ticket, exsaints charity, sun newspaper accusations.



Is this forum for idiots ?
 
Being serious hope they sort it out it's getting so annoying now. It's got to stage were I have lost some respect for Le Tiss on how he has carried on. Maybe if he sorts it out or agrees to shut up I will have a bit more respect then I do atm.
 
I'm sure that MLT was asked on SSN this morning by whats his name (minds gone blank) whether cortese had been in contact and Matt said 'no'.

Hope he has though. Would be kind of nice for them to be 'friendly'.

Do you know first hand what has happened?, or are you hearing stuff and believing it's true?. Specially if you believe the stuff printed in the papers, if it's the 2nd part you have no right to call anyone idiots.

Was this the Sun Newspaper accusation where the 'accusation' was invented and the paper apologised for saying that Cortese had said it?
 
Its all well known and documented everywhere going back the years !

Cortese has a chip on his shoulder because of Matts credentials and has little interest in the clubs history.

Maybe some fans instead of posting waffle, should actually ask cortese what 'his' problem is with le tissier.
 
Ha ha yeah right

More like cortese got caught out and the apology was for lawrie mac.

Dont be sooo gullible, pr people can say allsorts esp if you are about to lose the clubs account !!

Mitch, is that you?

Incidentally dont you think it was strange how the club never complained ?

The actual apology wasnt done in the usual way either, normally a side article in print.

For some reason it was a big online splash, yeah but did the PR chap save his job ?


Cortese will be gone within years as he has no bottle to be a football chairman.

Hes certainly managed to mug of plenty of our fans, sadly.

Right. So you're saying he said it, but if there is an official retraction on the comment by the press - you're gullible to believe it.

What's more gullible, believing the retraction or disbelieving an official retraction on a fabricated comment?

Also you're saying not to trust PR people? It came from the media themselves, not via any PR team affiliated with NC.

If you of course meant you can't believe everything in the media, then why do you selectively choose to believe this?

Really confused by your logic, or lack of.

Can you provide evidence as to why Cortese is unfit to fill the role as Southampton Football Club chairman?
 
Nice to see Mitch here.......I say nice.......

Anyhow, the whole point of this thread is the GOOD news that the club and Le Tissier have arranged that meeting.....so hopefully they can iron out these differences and all start pulling in the same direction.
 
Have you noticed that there is one poster on this thread that has not once posted a single positive message about the Saints, why do you think that is? Like most of us I think if Matt Le Tiss and Nicola can get together on a level playing field and get to see eye to eye they could make a formidable pairing, lets hope it works out, neither owe the other anything, so I cannot see why there should be any stumbling blocks.
 
Wow.... I've been labelled an idiot.... It's like being at work.... And to be fair, with a post of such dubious quality, it makes it even more realistic.

I haven't delved too deeply into this as some others obviously have, just passing on observations from what I have seen over the years. I was under the impression that's what this forum was for, rather than general slagging off when someone doesn't agree.

As someone (beddy I think but could be wrong) the whole situation is very akin to two squabbling kids. I'm not 100% sure that even if they did kiss and make up, that FLT would be a good ambassador type for the club. He very much strikes me as the old school, whereas that couldn't be much different from what we have now.

I think at present, a public handshake would be good and would keep the divisive parts of the media at bay whilst we try and focus attention on the pitch and staying up.

For his part, I would suggest that FLT would be wise to get his son to reign it in a bit..... He has nothing to do with the club in any way, and must be a source of embarrassment to his dad. And on the other side, NC could sound a little less conceited when discussing it.

As for the accusation that people have got their tongues in certain parts of NC's anatomy.... The same could be said in reverse. Both men have saved this club in their way.... FLT through a divine combination of laziness and flair, and NC through vision and intelligence.

I also see no reason why NC hasn't got the minerals to make it as a chairmen... The opposite in fact. Although the sacking of AP and NA has left a bit of a bitter taste, the man is a hard nosed businessman..... It's nice to have a vision that we all could do better than any owner based on a few too many games of championship manager and banter with mates who always seem to know best. To quote a film, "this ain't a tickling competition!!" We are in the Premier League and are showing how it can be done. I personally like the idea that NC is a little left of field. When "mighty" Liverpool had the audacity to fax an offer to "lowly" Southampton for AoC and NC didn't even read it before he binned it... That shows that he's got the spuds to do it his way... That's fine by me!

Anyway..... Must get back to being an idiot....
