It is pointless because NC is only just starting out and should be given time and has no baggage perhaps things will be different in ten years time

Perhaps you should reconsider your response I dont think it is particularly clever to be abusive on this forum. It is possible to have a valid point of view which is opposite to yours

Exactly nothing much to do with logic but mostly to do with emotion.

Before we can come to a conclusion of the rights and wrongs of the case we need to know the facts so perhaps Cortese should explain why the Echo is banned. Cortese may have a good reason for banning the Echo but not because the Editor is supposed to be a pratt This would mean that a fair size proportion of the UK would be banned as well;)

I think we are talking at cross purposes but I will read the initial post again. I did not think SOG was putting across an argument but asking a question as to how the forum acts towards NC and RL in similar circumstances Suggesting if RL did something like not buying Ward the response would be completely to different to that which greeted Cortese. But putting up the Thread in the first place was pretty pointless as things are going well and what is the point of dragging up Lowe again. The club is much better with NC/ML in charge

I agree that the thread is pointless because many posters think they are acting even handedly when perhaps they are not.

Why apologise if you think you have done nothing. The Echo and Cortese need to talk

Well you first attempt at a thread does not seem that good:(

Perhaps Murray wants to sort it out and Cortses does not so they are just reporting the News. There does not seem to be any confirmation that AC Milan were after Cortese but they may have been but I find it highly unlikely that AC Milan wanted Cortses after only a few weeks running SFC but only time will tell.

Thats being a bit Paranoid I dont think there are many with an agenda against NC and the club what makes you think that. But some may think he may not of acted correctly with regard to the Echo. But in all other aspects there has been little or no criticism as things are going well

I dont think there is anything wrong with the signings but that is not the point of the OP he is saying I think that posters attitude towards NC is completely different to RL. If Lowe did some of the things NC did he would be slated for it. I dont see the point of the thread really but as I have nothing better to do I am posting on the forum this afternoon. Going into Administration and getting bought out by ML is the best thing that could have happened to the club as with the PLC there was no real chance of us competeting in the Premier League without loads of money. Lets face it the only way Pompey became relatively was spending money they did not have at least ML seems to have sufficient for the needs of SFC at the moment

Me too The press Release when he was announced says The 40-year-old brings much experience into the role as he spent a decade as the head of the sports and entertainment desks at top Swiss banks, while also playing a role in some transactions to have taken place within European football.

So how much is ML going to spend and for what purpose

I dont think anybody knows but I would expect that it is being run as a business as NC would be paid on some criteria.

Dont think the club has been badly run except under Wilde for the past fifty years os so but with more money available hopefully we will have some success. If the club had not invested in St Mary's and the Academy it is unlikely that we would have Markus now It has been really the lack of money surely which caused our problems.

I dont think people are complaining just interested in how the club is being run

Who Steve Grant and Canada Saint?

What sort of Salary is NC on I wonder? Cannot be doing it for nothing and I wonder what his bonus is based on League Position? Attendances at St Mary's

I might possibly agree if it was not already in the Public Domain before the Echo published although I dont think it is a good idea to tell the press when they can publish

I think what you have mentioned is an embargo as other media outlets were reporting it

I know Newspapers always like printing bad things not good things thats my point.

I would agree with you but the Echo says the ban was nothing to do with an embargo so I dont really know.

That is what newspapers do unfortunately look for the bad angle No mention in the article that after Administration Southampton FC are one game from a Wembley Final

I agree no resolution for sometime I would have thought.
