hypochondriac

Seriously Minty you should post more often. To dismiss completely or totally believe this rumour is the wrong stance to take.

How do you know that? Unless you know the people involved personally how can you suggest that their information is invented because they are bitter? I would be pretty insulted by that viewpoint if I was one of the ones you refer to.

You have been on this rant for years. I know some of the people you talk of and that simply isn't the case. Do you know Duncan personally?

Duncan was one example. There are people who talk to others with close connections to the club you know. I think at the very least it deserves discussion (and others have agreed) with the caveat that it could of course not be true.

Yep that must be it. Lets not even entertain the possibility that there is some sort of substance.

Thanks for that post and it certainly adds something because you have actually met the chairman recently. There are a lot of good qualities which Cortese brings to the club and what I hope is that we aren't so single minded that we alienate some people connected to the club. I hope there is some sort of balance.

Thing is though Cortese can say it is not for sale but the likelihood is that it won't be up to him. I mean obviously it could all be made up but there is the POSSIBILITY that there is some basis in fact. I mean Cortese is hardly likely to come out and say 'yes the club is for sale,' especially if he was in dispute with the Liebherrs as leftback claimed. I do think that what leftback said was extremely interesting, especially considering he got stuff right in the past. Lets hope that if this does come to pass that the club stays in good hands and stays financially healthy.

Grow up.

Yeah I bet the reporter just invented it because he hates Southampton.Of course it could be b*llocks but I think it warrants discussion, simply because it has cropped up so often.

Good post and a well made point.

This has been rumbling for ages. Duncan has actually been talking about it since the summer. Of course everyone will dismiss it but I think at the very least it could be a case of the Liebherr's wanting to move on. Why else would Cortese have mentioned the fact that he would be prepared to bring someone else in if the Liebherrs wanted to sell?

what is D&G?

Ever . But thanks for the confirmation.

Cheers for that, may give it a watch.

Quiet now and go listen to Steely Dan. IMO listening to Steely Dan does give you a musical education because they contain elements within their body of work which you don't find anywhere else. Listen and offer an opinion, this thread isn't for arguments.

Here is the counterfeiter for anyone interested: http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/die_falscher/

Just downloaded it and will be watching later Jack. I shall offer you my considered opinion at some point.

Do you understand what 'educate' means? You have never heard anything by Steely Dan and so by listening to them you will be educated in their style of music. Steely Dan are often referred to by critics as a 'genre unto themselves' and so yes I think you would be better off following a little education in Steely Dan and their music. Try it and give your opinion

Special mentions to Bodhisattva, Doctor Wu, Rikki Don't Lose That Number and Kid Charlemagne: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz5iDa7tL34

If you listen to Steely Dan (and the lyrics) then you will be educated in the art of great songwriting.

Also Dirty Work is on the Sopranos, so you know it is cool

You should listen for a true musical education. I also forgot about the legendary song that is Deacon Blue purely for it's cracking lyrics.

Thanks. Do you have an opinion on Steely Dan? Jimmy Page I believe agreed with me about reelin' in the years having the greatest guitar solo. They may have been before your time so if you haven't heard of them, educate yourself.
