I don't buy the Echo because it's full of boring local ****e, but Cortese needs to understand that it's their job to sell papers. They are going to print rumour and speculation if thats what they think their readers will want to read - no amount of jumping up and down by Cortese will change that.

I couldn't give a monkeys wether I could buy a programme of not but pulling it without giving a reason would obviously cause speculation. Now if Cortese doesn't have time or chooses not to comment on speculation that's fair enough, but to have a pop at Saints legends for doing so is wrong IMO.

He obviously spends alot of his time reading every piece of wild speculation. And it doesn't take much time to set the record straight on things. For example if they bothered to tell us why the programme was pulled it would stop alot of speculation.

Nothing wrong in commenting on speculation, if the communication from the club was clearer (NC's job) there wouldn't be any to comment on.

What did MLT and Lawrie say that was so wrong?

What did MLT, Lawrie n co say that was so bad?

The police will want to big it up so they can get **** loads in over-time, then bang on about what a successful operation it was afterwards when nothing happens.

Excellent statement, but NC should stop worrying about pundits making comments and papers writing stories because that is not ever going to change. Pundits and reporters have jobs to do - just accept it.

I like the gold trim and the dates but wouldn't have replaced the football with a snooker ball.

There's not going to be a meeting tomorrow, and nothing will happen, it's just Radio Solent trying to get people to listen to their sh!t radio station.

They have to be punished for the way they have manipulated the system, the same way Leeds did. They have basically engineered the situation so that only Chanrai or Gaydamak could possibly buy the club. Now they have creditors over a barrel because the only way they can get any of their money is if PFC survives to get the parachutes. The people who caused all the debt are calling all the shots and will ultimately make more money out of it. I will be amazed if the FL don't throw the book at them, cheating ****s.

All this Pardew to get sacked stuff has got to be nonsense, Cortese and Leibherr seemed happy enough at the Cup Final. Since then we have averaged 2.2 points per game which, if continued through next season would see us finish with 102 points.

Don't the Football League take a dim view of clubs owing the taxman money, I'm pretty sure Bournemouth had an embargo because of this.

If that was the case it wouldn't kill them to say so on the OS. That's the whole point, there is zero transparency. Considering we are going through a feel good phase having won our first trophy for donkey's years, the fact that there is ANY negativity shows their PR for what it is - an complete disaster.

He should look into the mirror and repeat ten times: "I'm just a banker from Switzerland, I know very little about football, I mustn't do anything too hasty."

Isn't Cotterill from round this way?

Surely now the parachutes are bigger the club's creditors will demand more than 20p in the pound? I can't be right that they can blow off so much debt then come out the other end rolling cash.

We all know how important Leibherr and Cortese are to SFC, that doesn't mean we shouldn't have an opinion. I think it would be crazy because the team are playing well, the fans like him, the players like him and everything is set up to produce a winning side next year. Also I think it's fair to give him a pre-season to mould his team how he wants and I don't think it sets a good example as a company if you show zero loyalty and sack people at he drop of a hat, it works both ways. If you want your staff, supporters etc to stay loyal don't ditch people at the first opportunity. Chuck Pards on the managerial scrap heap and Lambert might just think, **** you I'm off too.

I seriously doubt West Ham will be desperate to land League 1's 7th best manager.

There's no dressing this up, sacking Pardew would be the act of a lunatic.

You know as well as I do that many people vote for who they want as PM, as well as what party they want or who the local MP is. If we have another unelected PM, particularly from a party that came second by MILES it will make a mockery of our democracy.

We voted for 3 parties with 3 leaders.

Surely Brown resigning means Cameron has to be PM? How can it be right that some Labour nobody or Clegg gets the job, it was a clear choice between Brown, Cameron and Clegg and Cameron won most votes, it's quite simple.

We are going to need a combination of both renewables and nuclear , it's not an either/or thing IMO.

That's the bit I have issue with, I don't think any politicians work for anyone other than themselves and their party - as we are seeing with the current mess. You just have 3 groups of people plotting their own route to power and the downfall of their rivals. At least when 1 party are in power they work truly together, they have to do a good job in power or get kicked out as they take responsibilty.
