hypochondriac

For a start I would suggest some publicity to highlight the strength of fan feeling over the issue. The likes of the Echo and Solent may be a good way to go.

Will you be penning a blog/report on here? Would be very interesting to read (just as long as it isn't like the Keith Legg a*se licking one!).

Yes but in fairness mate there was absolutely no evidence for what you were saying 12 months ago, you knew things that the rest of us didn't. All I was ever saying was that I was prepared to give Cortese a chance and would judge for myself his actions. He has of course proven you right, but I still believe that the original cautious approach was the correct one given what I knew at the time and what I had witnessed myself at the fans forum.

I never said that, nor have I called you a ****. I just think you are totally wrong.

No, we speculate and discuss something on a messageboard. It certainly seems from that article that the names have been removed. As I have already said that is disappointing if that is the case. I am simply speculating about if something is the case.

I see no problem in commenting on a scenario. The fact the names have been dropped suggests that they have done away with them. IF that is the case then I will be very disappointed. IF not then fair enough.

If you truly believe we will be f*cked if Cortese leaves then lol@u. Seriously.

But there is significantly less building which needs to be done this year. Say we get Antonio back in, then I would expect to see two maybe three more faces. Hardly the gelling of a whole team.

Certainly looks like they have renamed them...

That's my main gripe I think. No decisions have been explained to the fans. If they were it would be much easier to swallow.

If someone uses this line one more time! FFS. I will say it again. JUST BECAUSE MARKUS BOUGHT US, DOES NOT MEAN THAT WE CANNOT QUESTION AND CRITICISE DECISIONS WHICH WE BELIEVE TO NOT BE GREAT OF WHICH THERE HAVE BEEN MANY IN THE PAST FEW MONTHS. Got it? Good.

TDD I'm not getting into an argument with you again.

You are either partially sighted or just a bit thick if you failed to see the smiley face at the end of my post. Please don't reply to my posts again, I don't want you stalking me because you disagree with my opinion like you do with other posters.

Right but can you accept that other fans may have a different opinion?

TBF Stu he does like saints to have a history, he's quite willing to use it to exploit us customers when it suits him

Lol.

Where do you suggest we find out from? A reply is hardly likely to be forthcoming from the club.

The description of him from Cortese, the way he conducts his business etc.

Why do you have to be a frequent visitor to hold an opinion?

From what we know about ML (admittedly not a great deal) that doesn't sound like the sort of person he is. Cortese on the other hand...

Personally I would rather have a sponsor and all other costs dropped.

It's stupid anyway. He would have to sell to at least get back what he has invested. IMO there is no way he would just leave even if Cortese did.

Fair enough I suppose if that is the case. If not?

Did you read the charter that Stu just posted?

The MLT and Channon suite meant that it was personal to Southampton and was a reminder of the great players in our past. A real shame IMO. As I said in the other thread, I wonder if Ted Bates had died this year, if a statue would have been allowed to have been made.
