Why black shorts? In the 65 years between 1885 and 1950 the club didn't have black shorts. That is over 50% of the clubs existence without black shorts!!! What colour socks do you want"? Saints socks have been blue, black, white, red, red & white, with no one style dominating the rest in terms of frequency.

Are you confusing the writ being issued on the 18th May with them taking Pompey to court on the 18th June? At no point in the article does it say when the court case will be. Yet alone the day after the CVA vote. http://www.financialdirector.co.uk/accountancyage/news/2263990/hmrc-lines-football-creditor

Would you not prefer Crouch with Rooney? He can hold up the ball, win balls in the air and has a great goalscoring record as I'm sure you know.

17 of Barnard's goals were at Southend (without Rickie as a partner).

Automatic turnstiles with season ticket swipecards(like at Newcastle) or paper tickets with bar codes(like at Wembley) would stop this as individual tickets could be de-registered from working if payment is not made.

That is an interesting twist.

So you base your opinion on rumour? What if a paper ran stories about David Cameron that had no evidence in them. Would you change your mind on him? You are far too easily influenced by the media!

Read and answer all points in post 124. Pretty please.

Dune can't or won't respond to all my points/questions in post 124

How do you know what happened with the Echo? How do you know if a ban was or was not justified? What he said about Le Tiss and Lawrie when you read it word for word is hardly "slagging" as you put it... ACTUALLY READ IT! They were asked a question that was based on rumour. Le Tiss and Lawrie could have said "no comment it is just idle rumour". Instead they choose to comment on something they knew little about other than press speculation. Cortese just defended his position in the article, he hardly "attacked" them in that article. If anything Le Tiss and Lawrie should be the ones apologizing.

Do you not know anyone in Southampton that can buy tickets for you?

Maybe this is for the good then. People in that position shouldn't be spending hundreds of pounds to add to their debt with luxuries like season tickets. I'm not saying they shouldn't goto the football(pick and choose a few games through the season), but cutting back on things like season tickets should be a priority when trying to sort out personal finance problems.

This just proves how little you do know. Because... ...the MALI group has nothing to do with cranes and dumper trucks. That is his families multi billion business that he left in 1994 taking his share of money with him and setting up the MA(rkus)LI(ebherr) Group.

Numerous media sources have stated he is a billionaire. A number have put the figure at £2.6 billion. The Mali Group is a huge operation of 5 companies - or MArkus LIebherr Group - just look at their website. He left his families multi billion company to set it up by selling it his share to siblings. The money he got he put into the MALI group. A year ago Nicola Cortese was working for Banque Heritage in Geneva, managing the finances of billionaires according to The Times. http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/football_league/article7070442.ece These are circles Cortese was in and the contacts he had. He is now working for Liebherr at Saints. He met Liebherr through business. He is unlikely to be associated with anything smalltime given his recent past and cliental at Banque Heritage.

Did the owners at these other clubs wipe out £30m of debt, build a new training facility and invest heavily in the first team squad? There is clear evidence of investment at Saints that goes further than just promises.

Can you show otherwise?

I think its because he did so much to the club in a decade that it has made alot of people overly cautious about any other person in charge of the club and they think it might happen again. Cortese/Liebherr have been at the club for 11 months and have already invested far more than any other chairman since the club was formed.

But then Steve will accuse them both of being WUM's.

Care to elaborate with examples?

Not at all. How would a tour of a newsroom help in anyway? The Echo doesn't help itself by running stories with no detail. For example they opened a story with... "Alan Pardew has targeted a new central midfielder as one of his summer transfer window priorities." They then failed to state how they know this. It is public knowledge they aren't on good terms with the club. Pardew hasn't given them an interview where they used quotes in months. They just lift Saints news and Pardew interviews from the OS.

Should we start the protests and get him and Liebherr to leave? I think we'd regret it.

All I do is counter opinions which are solely based on unsubstantiated rumour. If those people are reasonable we can have a healthy discussion. After all this is a forum.

Just because someone has a different opinion to yourself, doesn't make them a wind up merchant.

My point that you have based your opinion on rumour(Dune does the same), when the interview above shows that only Liebherr knows the time frame.
