Lots of people including myself dont like change unless I know why Cortese is probably doing a good job but it would be better if the reasons for controversial decisions like the Ted Bates Match and Installments Was explained The situation then with Illingsworth may then not have arisen Cortese is in charge and if Pardew does not like what is being said then he needs to consider his options but who knows he may be quite happy and the season is going to be a great success

When I was three or four in the 1940s my Auntie said I would spend a couple of hours going backwards and forwards on the Woolston Ferry

Just being a newspaper then Must be more in it than that

Apology for what exactly As I have never been told why they have been or were banned I would like to know

What abuse surely you get more abuse than Cortese

I do not understand why anyone should be that disillusioned with the posters on this board it is no different to how it has been since I joined. I can usually tell what the regular posters are going to say about a given topic before reading their post like Derry thinking that Pardew is tactically inept

If Pardew does not do what Cortese tells him what is the alternative?

Well he seems to want to ban people who do not agree with him which is not a very reasonable approach

What a ridiculous comment Lots of things posted on here are taken from the Echo Website like the draw for the JPT

No I went to the Farnborough match came home and read some of the comments which did not fit what actually happened on the pitch. But of course if you were not there you would not know that the comments were not reasonable

Yes if the Echo has been banned it shows that SFC have become a small minded vindictive club without due regard to its fans and the community. But of course I dont know why or if it has been banned

I dont really see the post as scaremongering in anyway it just seems to bear out what has been in the press for sometime I dont know whether they are true but they could be a possibilty posting them on the Internet is not goin to affect the team very much what is going to affect the team (which is what Duncan is worried about) is if Pardew is not performing well if there is a poor relationship with the Chairman which I think he believes there is. With regard to the ownership I dont think it is healthy that an owner can do whatever he likes with the football club for a variety of reasons but we have an owner and we have to live with that

I am sorry but I totally disagree with you FF explained his reasons for posting which you seem to have disregard completely. If there are tensions within the club between the Chairman and the Manager I would like to know about it as it is not a good thing

It all depends if they can work with Cortese I would have thought Although I dont see any reason for Pardew to go I dont think it would be a disaster if he went

Yes I think it is a question

Is that Likely By the way does anybody know whether ML works in a similar way to NC

I did not realise posters apart from one in particular are being critical of Cortese on this thread

The rumour could of course be coming from people who know Alan Pardew as I said earlier he may find it difficult working with Cortese and maybe looking for a way out. I once worked for a boss who was impossible to deal with so I moved and got another job it is a relatively common occurrence I would have thought

Well they are ****ing stupid

Even if we only do as well as last season we should be in the playoffs If we win couple more games we will probably promoted automatically So whats the problem?

The rumours do exist whether you like them or not But they are only rumours and the contents may not come to be.

Perhaps Pardew will leave Southampton F C because he finds it difficult to work here is another possibility

I doubt there are any positive Cortese/Pardew rumours

Or just telling the truth It would be good if Papa signed

No but we have not even started yet was my point
