hypochondriac

From hero to zero then hero again. What a legend our friend is (I wonder where saint David is nowadays.)

If we had a fans forum (as we were told we would have) I would be able to put across my views in person...

I will hold a healthy skepticism of everything written in the Mail whilst realising that their could be some truth in it then. Hopefully others will adopt a similar attitude.

Erm...

I'm not advising him to improve his communication, he admitted himself that it is something he wants to improve.

Ah OK then. So the ones with positive stories about saints are the credible journalists and the ones with negative stories are the rubbish ones. Gotcha.

And so by extension the article which buctootim quoted is b*llocks yes?

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.
