benjii Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Today on Simon Mayo's show, 13:00-16:00. Not sure when precisely but should hopefully be interesting. I think they will be talking about his autobiography, career etc. 693 and 909 MW. I am going out so if someone would like to take a detailed note and transcribe it on here that would be wonderful! (Or I can just download the podcast later) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineteen Canteen Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Today on Simon Mayo's show, 13:00-16:00. Not sure when precisely but should hopefully be interesting. I think they will be talking about his autobiography, career etc. 693 and 909 MW. I am going out so if someone would like to take a detailed note and transcribe it on here that would be wonderful! (Or I can just download the podcast later) Well it isn't going to be about his role in Pinnacle and while he was still backing it until the 11th hour. Pity because he woudl be more interesting than another sychophantic and shameless self publicity of a book. Still makes a change I suppose it's not the author doing the plug! Don't suppose Mayo's first question will be - Well Matt I have read the book (blushes slighty) was it a concsious decision to be so lacking in any controversy? His second question - do you wish you had delayed publication so you could tell the fans the real story behind Pinnacle bid as to some observers you seemed with the benefit of hindsight to actually jeopardise the club's future as oppose to save it? Don't you think it would have made the book more worthy of purchase? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint_clark Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Says he would not have moved to a bigger club even if he knew it would mean more caps for England, as he feels it shouldn't matter which club you play for. He was very proud of the 8 caps he won playing for Saints as he felt he truly earned them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I posted something similar on another thread and what was really warming was the many, many great comments and appreciative sentiments from fans up and down the country. A great ambassador for the Club and is obviously held in high regard by the football fraternity. As some bloke from "Oooop North" said, "I doubt we'll see his like again".

Frank's cousin Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Top Bloke is Matty, and I can forgive any involvement in te PInnacle fiasco because I am sure ven Matty would admit he is perhaps not the the biggest of business brains - yet the support he lent was simply because it was an option to save the club - so we should cut him some slack. One point of interest is when someone mentioned he was 'ripping into Lowe' and this seems to elevate him in most fans eyes as it does whenever old players have a good dig... but how would opinions of Matty change if he had came out with a different perspective, acknowledging the problems, but perhaps understanding why certain decisions were made? ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 Quality quote by Matty on how he might not have been able to cope with the current emphasis on fitness etc, something like: "Prozone would have killed my game, showing up the miles I didn't run" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong but from memory even during wildes first takeover, the recent ex pro's (Le Tiss, Benali, Dodd etc) all kept quiet and didn't talk up one camp or another. It strikes me (And again i could be very wrong) that MLT's first public criticisms of lowe came only after ruddy cheeks did the media rounds telling everybody it wasn't his fault we were in administration..... as a pure guess; I think that was "the straw that broke the camels back" and MLT couldn't keep quiet any longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

um pahars Posted 25 August, 2009 Share Posted 25 August, 2009 very interesting to hear MLT say that there was never any ill feeling between the consortiums. It implies there was some form of dialogue during admin There was a piece in an interview with The Times where he mentions he had conversations with friends in the other potential consortiums: "I was trusting that everything I was being told was absolutely kosher, and most of it was,” he said. “Then all of a sudden the funding, which was from Switzerland, fell through. At the end I could see that this was damaging the club and I said, ‘This is enough, let’s get out and let someone else come in.’ “We knew that Markus Liebherr [now the owner] was around, and there was another group based in Monte Carlo. I knew people in all three groups, so I was getting info from three directions, and they were all mates of mine so it was really difficult. “But it’s all worked out for the best in the end, I think. Markus Liebherr is obviously a very wealthy man. The club is stabilised from a financial point of view and that’s what’s most important, as long as they stay up this season.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
