    I think you misinterpreted my comment; l have immense respect for what NC did for us and will be grateful always for setting the foundations of what we have become. lt was after all NC who convinced ML to buy Saints, for those who have 'knocked' NC in the past (not me) that fact alone deserves respect. l have fond memories of Guy, hence the comment about him.

    We will and always will recruit top players, In there respective league, That needs polishing.. Readying them for a bigger stage, and massively inflated prices. We will be the new Tottenham, With a better infrastructure And shift the balance of the premier league. :)

    Unless people are overtly bad for the club, I tend to remember the good things about them when they've gone. Yes, even Rupert Lowe to a certain extent, but that maybe stretching a point. Let's just remember that without Nicola Cortese, Markus Liebherr would be a diseased multi-billionaire engineer who pioneered common rail diesel engines and transmissions, and we would have never heard of him. And Saints would, in all possibility, have gone the way of Pompey or the home-town speedway team which ended in the early 1960's. If that were the single thing to remember well of him, that alone would be good enough.

    Don't know, don't care. I have no interest in dragging his name through any mud.

    Neither do I.

    For a positive realist Beefy, you have a gift for finding the negative vibe.

    I was asking a question? As I don't know anything about it. I saw it being discussed on Saints Web, so wanted to know if any one knew anything. It doesn't matter if it is positive or negative some people may want to discuss it. But I accept you and Laces don't want to.
