Cole has been a great player for England and one our few few genuine world class players in the last 30 years. He does seem a bit of a c*ck as a bloke but as a player you can't fault him. Time catches up with everyone though, shame people are slagging him off and can't separate their dislike for someone they've never met with respect for their ability and effort.

Great for the other 3 but spare a thought for Rodriguez whilst the others are celebrating. Going to be tough for him to watch thinking what might have been.

Spot on. And the funny thing is on your last point many of the ones who fell for all the champions league BS would consider themselves the forum bright sparks. I seem to remember Wes Ender describing himself and his group of Man on the mooners as 'the intelligent posters'

If he was vindictive enough to ban a long term fan from having a season ticket for writing something he didn't like on a forum, engage in long running petty spats with ex players from years ago as well as numerous cases which went to court before he settled outside the day before for no reason, how much more bitter do you think he'd be toward the people who cost him a £2m a year job?

I think you're forgetting they kissed and made up and the sun was very pro saints afterwards.

I'm surprised he hasn't yet taken the job AC Milan have been begging him to take for what must be 4 years now.

He's a dinosaur and doesn't know what he's on about.

It was his PR company cortese used whilst he was here.

How ironic he would become the 'dark forces' he once warned about.

And it's not me saying he's been feeding the press, I'm drawing attention to what 3 journalists have said. It's not hard to work out though is it, lots of stories ever since he left of meltdowns, players wanting out, manager want to go etc, mainly in the same papers that used to blow smoke up his arse and lavish praise on us. Why the about turn?

Oh my day has started just fine pal, keep playing the post not the poster, it's going so well for you

:lol: 'Grandiose claims' you're something else. I like your claim his itkness has been proven by the time of his Fonte thread, apparently his last but was actually posted 4 days before the one I highlighted as being a fantastic example of slamming the supposed troll. Not quite right was that sunshine, who'd have thought it?!!! You waded in "playing the post not the poster" and got it spectacularly wrong as usual, now backtracking, keep going pal, this is good stuff.

Can you link all the positive stories in the media since he left. Thanks in advance.

Oh no pal, I read all the threads, there were 'agenda' 'attention seeking' 'WUM' accusations on the others too, but that one was an outstanding example. For the record I took left back seriously in what he said, found it odd he was banned. However it didn't stop the usual agenda/troll stuff from some. You being a plank = who'd have thought it.

Oh no sunshine! This one was an outstanding effort! No less than 10 accusations of WUM, agendas, trolling and not supporting saints in 29 replies! It's pretty evident who 'steamed in without Reading any of the threads' http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?26111-Were-gonna-have-to-rely-on-good-management#.U28sQ3-9KSM I see you're still steaming playing the post not the poster, who'd have thought it. :lol:

Look at their twitter accounts.

Its seems 3 separate journalists, namely crook, peach and Blackmore have now confirmed that Cortese and his camp have been leaking stories to the media. As I said a few days back its a bit of a coincidence most of these stories appear in the mail, the sun and the mirror who gushed praise on us when he was here. By the looks of these stories It seems he is intent on destabilising players and the current board via the media and to harm the club he once described as 'his baby' What are we to make of this people? For what reason would he so this? Don't shoot the messenger, I'm merely repeating what these journalists have tweeted, are they all liars?

I'm sure Franco, Wes and the others will be on here denying they ever said any of that as is usual. However You're forgetting two things Man. moon. Man. Everest. I'll say no more.

Those threads are Priceless!! At the time when he posted a few snippets people didn't want to hear he was a troll with an agenda! Now he's ITK and probably a member of staff at the time! Superb stuff as every from the mongboard!!

Corteses 'vision' has been exposed for what some always said it was, one mans ego day dreaming. Its wasn't a 'vision' that was shared by the owners nor did he have the backing to make good on what he ran his mouth off about, you might even go so far as to say some players were sold a lie. I'm sure some will still laud him and say how much better it was when he was here, how everyone would stay and we'd take our rightful position in the top 4, not being bullied by the big boys and challenging the status quo etc, but the realty is his vision wasn't a vision at all. It was pie in the sky day dreaming, telling people what they want to hear. And just 18 months into taking our seat at the top table at he top table he quit on his 'vision', he clearly didn't believe in it himself.

It's a lot easier telling Ryan Dickson he isn't going on loan to Yeovil than telling an England international he isn't going to Liverpool/man United for £25m and double his wages.

What happened to the riot you lot threatened if Tan sacked McKay?

That's the second time you've name checked him on here in the last couple of days, he doesn't even post on here 'Brett' stop being a helmet, no one cares what Warick Davis body, Rusell Grant head says.

I'd have throught your low point would have been falling on your fat arse in front of an entire stadium?

that's exactly what'll happen.
