hypochondriac

Thanks mate. Nice to know that others feel the same way as me. I do sometimes feel as if I am swimming against the tide!

I know. Usually it is the same old posters from years back as well. I really do miss the old saintsforever. I have had a few conversations with some of the more established posters on here about starting up an alternative forum in the spirit of the old one (tubgirl allowed ). If anyone wants to help with this then feel free to PM me.

We don't have to have the trophy. As I said, the worrying thing is not letting the fans know. It demonstrates a lack of respect IMO.

It's not not having it which is the issue here, it's not communicating that to the fans.

Would be nice if we were told we weren't going to have it though if that is the case.

Yep and I think that goes for both sides. Mostly though I get irritated by people saying I am anti Cortese. I wish people would just use some common sense and see what people like Steve Grant are trying to say.

I just wish people could accept that other people have the right to an opinion which differs from their own.

Also TDD, if the fans forum goes ahead and fans are not allowed to attend, would you agree that was bang out of order?

I agree. I will be able to get a ticket though due to my friend from Solent. I have been to every one so far and I was impressed with Cortese last year. I hope for a similar experience this year.

I will be asking all these questions should I be allowed to go to the fans forum. If I am prevented from going, I think that will say a lot about Cortese.

Precisely. Not sure I would be that bothered if they came out and explained why they were getting rid.

Well said Steve.

a-bloody-men. Brilliant post.

I hope you aren't including me in that. I comment on a range of topics on this forum and have done for years, both positive and negative.

But clearly people are not listening. In fact, people post these rumours and they get abused. Matthew Le God has been on Steve's case for ages.

Do you not think that the fact that Steve Grant's comments have lent credibility to some of these "rumours" over the past few months? Or is he just posting for attention? (lol)

I may well have done and I hold my hands up. People are allowed to change their minds though. What I have heard from a number of sources is building a not very fantastic picture of Cortese. I don't want him to leave, but I would like him to be receptive to change.

Yep. It is madness.

I don't really care if people think I make up my info. I know a lot of posters personally from here and I know the reliability of their info. I will continue to post "rumour" and people can make up their own minds.

Which he was going to do. You won't believe me but he was going to sack him.

I have no NC out campaign. I am simply commenting on the rumours on here (many from the likes of Duncan and Steve Grant who I trust). Some things are rumours from these people and others, some things I know are facts (Nick having his money returned to him with no explanation given, the Echo banned with no explanation given, removal of the installment plan at short notice, programmes being cancelled with no explanation given etc) . There is nothing wrong with expressing concern about a number of decisions taken by the club over the last few months. I shall also be expressing this concern directly to Cortese via the fans forum unless I am stopped from going for some reason.

OMFG do we have to repeat the same thing over and over? Is it not possible to be thankful to Markus for buying us yet criticise Cortese if you believe he has done something wrong? Is he above criticism?

Hope so. Maybe I should email them.

HAHAHA oh I do so hope that that wins HMRC the case, I really do.

We know you do Duncan. Rest assured that many appreciate the info.
