hypochondriac

So presumably you quoted the Mail and used it as evidence to support your point of view. By implication you believe what it says and so you must therefore believe the Middle East story?

So you call the mail a rag and totally dismiss everything it says yet then believe a different article? How selective.

Don't be so ridiculous.

I agree with that.

I'm not sure the reason is important. I've told you what I know but cannot say whether it is true or not.

He is suing him. I was told (by a relative of Benali) that it was to do with his flooring. I received a PM on here about the pool but absolutely no idea if that is true. He is suing him though, he confirmed it on Soccer AM.

I would prefer if Cortese continued to learn on the job and improve his communication skills (he has admitted himself that he still needs to learn things and improve.) Because of this I will pick him up on things where I believe he needs some improvement. Cortese is supposedly unforgiving and tough on others and thus I am tough on him

Well I was told it was because he let him rent his house and then ruined his flooring by ripping it up. The other reason I heard was his jets were not working in his pool so he refused to pay the rent (not sure of the accuracy of that second one TBH.) He is suing him though, it was confirmed by Benali last week on Soccer AM.

How do we know they have not tried? We know that Nick tried and was ignored. We also know that Benali is suing Cortese.

Harder with Jaidi being old and not being able to play twice a week. I think we really need a long term partner for Fonte.

A cynic would suggest that the club's PR company knew the Mail was running their story and so produced this piece as a convenient bit of PR...

Thanks delldays.

He has made some assumptions though. I highly doubt that the reason MLT is frustrated is because he is 'not involved' with the club. I sincerely wish that they would both put the past behind them and be able to work together for the good of SFC. I'm sure MLT would be broadly supportive of NC if he was welcomed to the club.

And the quotes from Cortese at the season ticket dinner? Were they lying/mistaken as well?

Yes.

It is a stand-off that will sadden most Southampton supporters who, after so much division over the past decade, would simply like to see the past, present and future of their club functioning harmoniously. That is the key bit for me.

“Factually, I was in the driver’s seat,” admittedly that is funny.

Well this is a predictable and depressing thread.

I was largely joking (and have been off work so time on my hands!)

The issue is that because of their wealth and status they have effectively 'bought' this adoption in my eyes. If it had been any average 63 year old homosexual couple (if you can get an average version of that) they they would have been refused. The fact he has loads of money is half the problem.

Well as Cortese confirmed to the season ticket holders at the dinner, the fans forum was something which needed to be organised as soon as possible. I would imagine it unlikely that he did not agree with the solent message but maybe I am mistaken.

Going on what Solent (and people at the dinner) reported. Also lighten up. I was (mostly) joking.

I can

Thats not what the report from the season ticket dinner said.

Said there would be a fans forum and no word of one as yet...
