Matthew Le God

So what else are you basing it on? And what do you base your opinion of Donald Trump on?

It did, you were talking about being able to determine Donald Trump has a big ego. Trump has had alot of media coverage over the years. What I did is list the brief time Cortese has had in a mere 3 broadcast interviews since the takeover in 2009. What did he do in them to suggest a "big ego" to you? In terms of wanting media exposure, he is very reclusive in that regard, it is Le Tissier that is holding a weekly one-way slanging match over TV/radio/newspapers not Cortese.

When did I say you did?

And Mayuka. Lots have written him off already, but he is only 22 and hardly been given a chance yet. He turned the game towards us playing on the right in a 4-2-3-1 vs Tottenham.

Cortese hardly has the media profile of Donald Trump or Matthew Le Tissier, Cortese has had 3 broadcast interviews since the takeover in 2009. 1x 40 minute interview on BBC Radio Solent 1x 30 minute interview for BBC Sport website 1x 5 minute interview for SSN Not exactly craving media attention over the past 4 years.

From the discussion I had with Matt, he is annoyed by the alleged incident about Francis Benali and the non payment of bills. Something that should really be left to a court to decide who is right/wrong. That shouldn't result in a one-way public slanging match on a weekly basis in local/national newspapers, local national radio, local/national TV. For the good of the fanbase, they need to resolve this.

Boruc is more than good enough.

We've already been on quite a journey in the last 3 years. It has seen us go from possible brink of extinction, -10 points and 24th in League One, to 15th in the Premier League. Certainly a "funny bunch" if Saints fans can't recognise the good times he has overseen at the club. For the first time in the club's history we have owners with huge ambition and seemingly the resources and business acumen to match those ambitions. Yes, he is ruthless, but he does appear to know what he is doing and has a track record of delivering that should earn him a degree of trust from the fanbase.

You are still maintaining that nonsense "theory" then?

Well he got the Pardew sacking right.

Rupert Lowe and Guy Askam aren't running the club anymore.

- Even after -10 points and 24th in League One in 2009 to 15th in the Premier League in 2013? - Even after circa £37m spent on players already this season? - Even after Cortese sacking Adkins and appointing a new manager to take Saints to the top 6 in 3/4 years? I doubt we are done for transfers this window.

Remember, English is not Cortese's first language. How good is your French or Italian? Have you considered by "met him" he means "got to know him".

And he didn't have a rich estate backing him, nor did he have any business acumen.

He also was **** stirring that the Liebherr's wanted to sell the club.

Well it lasted for over 2 years after the date of that interview. Depends on your definition of "long term". I think Adkins was always viewed as the man to get us out of the Football League, had we finished 8th last year in the Championship he'd probably still be here. He achieved too quickly for his own good, and now the club rightly or wrongly wants a new manger to take the club to the "next level".

Tomorrow I believe will Cortese's 3rd broadcast interview. Here are his 2 previous ones with the BBC... March 2010 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/8565914.stm December 2010 - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/southampton/9269293.stm

It appears to be an interview, not an announcement.

S****horpe United winning which puts the Skates further away from safety.

Very good, I'll Tweet that, lets see if we can get it started at St Mary's.

So many conflicting stories now. At least it'll be all over on Thursday.

Coutinho is a wide attacking player.

You said 2.5 hours, not 4 hours... Plus, you posted the above post at 10:17, I replied at 10:27 about the 12 to 2pm show. That isn't "5 minutes". I'm fully aware Glasgow is on the wind up. Had it been mentioned on 5Live on Wednesday, it would also be on the BBC Sport website.

Yes, that is quite an apt description of yourself.

We've been through this already... 5Live has regular news/sports updates, it isn't hard or time consuming to find them all and listen to them on iPlayer.
