hypochondriac

With the money and players we have at a minimum I would have expected us to be clear in second place with a few points cushion regardless of games in hand and the poor start. Possibly my expectations are unrealistically high but I think it is justified when you compare us to other teams in this league.

Fair play though your team is better than ours and Poyet is a better manager than Adkins.

I'm sorry but you simply are not a bigger club than us and won't be for a very long time if at all. We have a larger fan base, can outbid you on players and your season ticket numbers are because you have the novelty of a new ground. Even if we have similar sized grounds I cannot see you consistently achieving better attendance figures than us.

They won't go up which was my main concern. I expect them to be in relegation trouble next year. Hope we go up.

For me it has been our performances which have been most disappointing.

Better manager IMO, still haven't been convinced by Adkins. We played better football in general under pardew.

Win

Again though, it may not be his decision.

Lol. Best post on this thread. Don't think I'll comment further because I can't really follow that

Had a listen yet?

That's pretty much exactly as I see it. Making the club debt free was the greatest gift that Markus gave us.

Seriously can you not just debate an issue and respoect someone elses opinion without going over the same old stuff and getting insulting again?

I suppose it depends in your faith in the man and his propensity to learn and change

Who in your mind is anti Cortese? Anti some of his decisions certainly.

The poster was suggesting that the reporter had invented the twitter post in order to make the club lose games. Why would a saints fan do that?

You should not use the term 'anti Cortese.' It is inaccurate.

So come on then, who is 'believing something is true'?

Grow up.

But he is a saints fan!

An update from the reporter.

Buit why would he make it up? Seriously what would he possibly have to gain? Cortese has shown that he isn't unsettled or annoyed in the slightest by such rumours so it seems odd that he would fabricate this rumour purely because he dislikes Cortese.

Exactly! Some find it offensive to even entertain a possibility that something could occur. If we dealt purely in facts then there would be no point in this forum!

Assuming of course that the Liebherrs would want to sell to Cortese and that there isn't any truth in the suggestions from leftback that there was some sort of dispute.

That's true but that might be quite difficult to do.It is often too difficult to name sources.

I agree that Cortese working to make us successful is a good thing (albeit with the reservations that many have which have been discussed at length.) Equally though I'm not going to pretend that the club will be destroyed should Cortese not be involved any more. I mean Cortese isn't the only person who could acheive results with saints. Financially and in terms of potential we are probably the most attractive club in the football league (and possibly the Premiership) certainly in terms of value for money. It is quite possible that if the club is sold we could find us in an equally strong (or maybe even stronger!) position. Having said that, my gut feeling is that the best thing for the club is for Cortese to remain and maybe learn a little humility.
