Nicola Cortese wants to return to English footie
Lord Duckhunter replied to Delmary's topic in The Saints
Isn't sticking by your manager and not sacking him decisive? Or do you define decisive as doing what you want them to do. People keep banging on about dithering , but if we've decided the manger stays, end of. That maybe wrong, but it's not dithering. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
Spot on. For some reason he gets a free pass on here. He was awful at the end of last season and he’s been awful this season. He doesn’t look interested, yet people on here won’t admit it just because they want to take yet another dig at the Manager. I bet there’s not a queue of English clubs wanting to take him off our hands. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I know it's not Saints but on the way back from Huddersfield we met a guy on the train that has a season ticket for them, and lives in Devon . He retired to Devon 3 years ago because his wife wanted to, but he would only do so if he could travel back to watch Town. He drives to Wakefield, where his son lives and then they both get train to game before doing the reverse journey home (never stays overnight) .Said he does minimum of one home game a month but sometimes more if there are decent fixtures.

Why hasn't he got a job in football since? If his demise was just pr bs from the club why's nobody else hired him. Even Peter Risdale got a job in football after Leeds. Why haven't money men looking to get into the game used him, why haven't any clubs wanting a dynamic proven winner at the helm employed him? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk -
How many threads about you & Pell do you think we need on Saintsweb? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Absolutely, well successful. Especially in the cup. Managed to beat Mansfield over 2 legs before a home loss to Coventry in the league cup. Got unlucky in the FA after a tough draw home to Tranmere. Somehow against all the odds he managed to take them to a reply before losing 4-3 at their fortress. You can’t hold that against him, not many coaches come away from there with a win. His league positions confirmed what a genius he was, on target for a 10th place when he left, after guiding us to 15th the season before. His record since he left has confirmed what a great manager he is, particularly his work at Wolves which was the job he got instead of ours. As you say one of our most successful. Only Ted, Lawrie, Chris N, Bally, WGS, Poch, Ronald Koeman & Puel finished higher or went further in the cups. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Average premiership squad, that with a good manager would be top 10 but with a poor manager fighting relegation. We currently have a poor manager. Apart from the full backs every position has interchangeable average players. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Amazing isn’t it? Another club bid more money, and will pay him more, how did we let that happen. Why did we allow other clubs to bid for him, Les should have banned Everton from bidding for him him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Comparing a Mickey Mouse competition to the league cup is laughable. We also didn’t finish 8th under Branfoot. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I think it’s a pretty decent forum, particularly for discussions around music and other none football stuff. I don’t post much because I don’t particularly like the platform on mobile, if it was on Tapatalk I would. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

What a load of pony. “We target players doing badly” , complete rubbish. “ We gave the entire team new long contracts”, more rubbish. “ After their worst season to date”, again rubbish. Apart from FF, who else did we reward with a longer contract that didn’t deserve one? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I wouldn’t expect a bloke who posted that he hoped we’d lose last week to understand. I want Spurs to lose, I want Liverpool to lose, that may make me bitter, what does wanting Southampton to lose make you? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Sorry I forgot I need to check with you who it's acceptable to dislike. Lallana, I take it that's fine, what about Lovren, that's allowed is it, maybe VvD. If disliking someone who shat on the club is "silly and bitter" , then we're all guilty. At least the people I dislike and want to fail don't still work for the club.

Yeah good idea . Lets hound the bloke who has delivered us 7th, 6th , 8th ( Cortese highest position btw ) , Europe twice and a cup final. All on the basis of half a season's struggle. We won't come across to the watching nation, pundits and journos as fickle deluded snowflakes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Needed city to lose somewhen. Clutching at straws a bit but the last game of the season would be so much harder if they've got an unbeaten record to play for. Fingers crossed they make the cup final and the champions league final, it'll make our game a lower priority. Ideally I'd like Liverpool & Spurs to miss out on champions league qualification , but because Arsenal are abject that looks unlikely. I know he's had a bit of forum rehabilitation lately but I still want that Argie way anchor to fail at Spurs . Would love to see their side raped by the big boys as we have been. So a Liverpool win helps that cause. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I see. By telling him to shut the **** up, you're not telling him how he should support his club? Support the club as you deem fit, but shut the **** up and don't comment on it. Makes perfect sense, sorry I doubted you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So you can spout pony on social media/forums but he can't? Based on what, having a rich mum or a different opinion. I'm sure if he posted Pell out, you'd be ok with it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Great savant and one of our best buys in recent history. However, he’s now at the stage where he can’t influence games and dictate the pattern. He can still do a job, when we’re playing well. But when we’re poor, he’s poor. The fact he’s still pretty regular says more about the replacements quality than it does him. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Rubbish. Our home supports been absolutely woeful this season. Thousands leaving early because we’re losing, booing our own players and absolutely zero atmosphere. It’s not a “few” either. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
