Another excellent initiative from NC, hope the likes of SOGGY can give credit where its due.

The most obscene thing about what Hoddle did following that England B game was taking Les Ferdinand (who also played, but nobody remembers his contribution) to the World Cup and leaving MLT behind. It was really a poor show. Hoddle always felt sorry for himself about his treatment by England managers, but treated MLT the same way. Frankly I am surprised that MLT didnt leave when Hoddle became our manager.

Indeed :goodman:

My interpretation too. Nevertheless, those with an agenda can hear the grass grow...

Superb stuff. Thanks for that. Especially loved the miserable Northern Monkeys...er....blokes from Guildford in the background.

Beating Arse 3-2 at The Dell in the only way appropriate, the winning goal coming from the only person suitable for the occasion...

A Saints Legend, without a doubt.

The critical point about this is that as Lowe got more arrogant about his role in football, his effect on the club turned negative; he became a liability -he started interfering with footballing matters and screwed the club up. NC may be an arrogant sh*t, I couldnt care less if he persistently delivers for SFC. I do not get the impression he is trying to take over the English FA like Lowe did, or that he will interfere in footballing matters - that is what he pays his manager for. If NC starts behaving like Lowe did, I will turn on him as well, but I dont see it because he is NOT the ultimate authority like Lowe was (seeing as he had the major shareholders in his pocket through self-interest). In NCs case he is answerable to one man - ML.

The most important man at SFC is NC. End of. He brought in the owner, the money, the on-field management team, and supported the purchasing of a team that took us close to the playoffs. I trust him to make the best decisions for Southampton Football Club more than I trust the on-field management.

Yet more hypocritical drivel. You have better things to do with your time do you ? Well, you could have fooled me the way you sneer at my posts and follow them round. Oh yes, you are busy putting the UK justice system right...

So the answer is no then ? Heaven forbid the CEO be allowed to critique the performance of the results and the team eh, let alone be responsible for hiring and firing of personnel in the company he leads. Oooops, I must have misunderstood Lowe all along

Yep, thanks for admitting you are nothing more than a WUM. So, onto serious business - does the CEO have your 100% support ?

Are you going to give the CEO 100% support ?

Utter cr*p.

Steady on, everyone has to understand where he is coming from, not vice-versa..

The piety of this post is simply astounding. The holier-than-thou explanation of his motivations, yet still putting in little digs at various parties is hillarious and also contemptible

Good post, R.

Hook, Line, Sinker, S-Clarke. I salute you sir. You demonstrate once again what a paddy SOGGY pulls when his beloved Georgie is questioned...

No wonder the UK system is in such a mess...

+1.

That's complete rubbish.

No, I agree with you now, but it took me a while to warm to him. His red card against Yeovil cost us big time.

Good post. Fairly balanced. I wonder why SOGGY hates the bloke so that saved the club he purports to follow ?

Then he has the nerve to accuse others of having an agenda.....

No he is not. He is talking hypocritical b*ll*cks to justify his agenda. He thinks Lowe and Burley were the "dream team" and harrangs anyone who tries to follow it and anyone who dares to support them.
