The competent thing to do would have been to appoint Rogers as interim CEO the day Cortese left...it wasn't like she didn't know it was coming....
-
So interim until we're sold then.....Well that's the most optimistic explanation for the last few days...The alternative just reeks of incompetence.
-
So we've already 'Hockey' guy in the frame and also had a director appointed and then fired 24 hours later and not so much of squeak from anyone on here......Now, if Cortese or even Lowe had done something similar, this place would have been in meltdown. This is exactly the type of potential new business acumen (the 24 hour directorship) that's given me a little cause for concern and suspect holds a clue to the reason a perfectionist like Cortese upped and walked........Time to hold on to yer hats peeps. As for the Boiler plate statement. The loudest part, was the bit that wasn't there.....'long term commitment'....So don't be surprised to see no spending and a mass exodus in the summer and the Club sold within the year.

This has to be the wisest words I've seen posted on here in the 13 years I've been visiting this forum. Take note peeps...it's true
-
Well that's not what you said a year ago...or is there something iffy going on within the Liebherr family?
-
**** the stripes.....Stick with the kit we have now, best looking kit we've ever had as far as I'm concerned.

You say that like there is some kind of set datum for the Earths temperature........Some kind of set in stone reference point that's been around since the very first day the Earth was formed. -

ahh....So you maybe on the verge of finally getting it?....What the hell took you so long? -
Well the truth is absolute defense against libel So if you're so sure you know the facts, you have nothing to worry about spilling the beans!...So come on then, out with it....Time to step up and defend your man Roger.

I think Window Cleaner is close to hitting the nail......I'm totally convinced that clues to the real reason for Cortese's departure lie with the MALI group and it's apparent demise since Katharina took over... Cortese has been involved and seen first hand what happened to the other companies after input from Katharina and I recon couldn't bear to see Southampton FC suffer the same fate so got the hell out of dodge while he could....No one gives up on 5 years hard work like that without a damned good reason, especially if they're being offered "insane" amounts of money to stay. To say he was just too arrogant to hand over some control to the owners is laughable....Arrogant and an arshole he maybe, but he's been around the block enough times to know the deal....He only had the control he had, because Marcus insisted on it and was proved right to do so.......Na, I think it's been more a case of 'who' he was having to hand over more control too. Personally I hope to god she sells us and damned quick...I see nothing good coming from this otherwise.

lol....So even their sponsorship money during their rise was tainted with tax fraud...http://news.msn.com/crime-justice/beanie-babies-billionaire-to-be-sentenced

heh, I had a good lol at the Guardian this morning when I read this http:// http://wattsupwiththat.com/2014/01/06/my-short-legal-kerfuffle-with-the-guardian-and-spiritofmawson/#more-100612 ...Seems they're not so keen to be seen flying the "Spirit of Mawson" aka "ship of fools" flag anymore...wonder why?...LMAO! 3 ice breakers lmao -
No management buyout and no interest private enterprise...Says all you need to know about the state of the coal mines slated for closure..... Yet again, Thatcher made the tough calls and put the British tax payer first....exactly what good government should be doing.

I'm sure the hundreds, if not thousands of recording sites like these, with heat from sewer treatment plants, exhaust fans, AC condenser coils, aircraft, parked vehicles, etc. etc. have all been factored in perfectly accurately....yessiriee http://gallery.surfacestations.org/main.php?g2_itemId=831 oh look! http://gallery.surfacestations.org/main.php?g2_itemId=901 http://gallery.surfacestations.org/main.php?g2_itemId=3396 oh look! http://www.norcalblogs.com/watts/images/forest_grove_plot.png http://www.surfacestations.org/images/Lodi_fire2.jpg oh look! http://www.surfacestations.org/images/lodi_plot.jpg http://www.surfacestations.org/images/petaluma_west.jpg oh look! http://www.surfacestations.org/images/Petaluma_station_plot.gif etc etc etc oh....and this http://surfacestations.org/images/lovelock_mig480.jpg :-" pics from http://www.surfacestations.org -

Yup, and most of those thermometers in recording stations during the 1800's and earlier 1900's, were located in relatively rural areas....The same locations have now become urban heat islands and guess what?...yup, they're recording higher temperatures....Now there's a surprise. | -
Watching Saints in New Orleans
Saint George replied to Dangermouth's topic in Overseas Saints / Supporters Groups
Most Bars, Hotels, Restaurants, Cafés, Parking Garages, Offices, Grocery Stores, will show all Saints games live...But assuming you mean Southampton FC Saints, Fin McCools in Mid City show every PL game ...Used to be my local way back when http://finnmccools.com/ -
If it came to it, I wouldn't want to see anyone banned for the sake of it.....But if Barry, Glasgow, Turks and their various guises were restricted to 3 post's a day, this place would be whole different class of forum... I find it hard to see why peeps have a problem with Alpine...He may come over as overly negative to some, but as peeps have said above, it's clearly his genuine opinion and he's not just forum pollution like terrible triplets mentioned above.

It never ceases to amaze me why peeps keep insisting on replying to the skate trolling c**** on here. Some peeps fall for it every time. As for the article...TBH I'm really not surprised at the lengths we go to get things right....A lot of peeps ripped it out of Cortese when he introduced the "Southampton Way"...But peeps from around the world are now starting to sit up and take notice....Never underestimate someone as driven as Cortese....He's not here to make the numbers up, you can be sure of that. And please do us all a favor here, and quit quoting the skate trolls.

Nigel's 'project' was over the day we were promoted to the Premier League.....He was always only a stand in for the start of the next project and he knew it
-
To see the reason he wont leave here to go to Spurs, you need to look at the reason he came to Saints in the first place

So what kind of scientist's would effectively declare an unproven scientific "theory" a law?......Total head cases like "Coal trains of death" Hansen and the 'Mad Hadley Climategate Hatters, that's who...The same peeps who just happen to have been spearheading the frenzy pretty much from the start and have done very nicely out of it too... Hide the decline -

Because a few years back, one side declared "the debate over as there was a now a consensus"....Yup they really did -
What part of "the Away Supporters initiative was set up for Clubs to use to improve the experience offered to visiting fans. This could be used either for our supporters travelling to other Clubs, or supporters visiting us" don't you understand? If SMS was maximizing its revenue potential, there would be a whole lot more room to maneuver when it came to taking a chance on away ticket allocations and subsidizing our away support......and if you think 10k attendances at SMS wouldn't affect the Club's decision making process in any way, don't ever think about going into business, or taking a job that involves any kind of fiscal reasonability.
-
I think the whole away thing, including the 200k would be a different story if St Mary's had been a sell out for every home game so far this season......That's the root of the issues I'm sure

It's always a "special case" when the figures don't fall in line with the alarmist's mantra....Just another case of trying to force the science into the theory
