S-Clarke Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 If it's true, then it must be down to something that has happened behind the scenes that none of us are aware of. I cannot see him being unhappy at our ''Performance'' this season, because if he is it kind of deems his opening statement pointless. ''we need to take time, it will be a slow progression'' - or something along those lines. He looked very happy when he was at Wembley, and took time out to speak to Pards for a little bit up in the royal box. Although at the end of the day it could be as simple as him not being able to fly because of the ash... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beatlesaint Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 ML does not make statements, we havent heard from him all season. So now we are supposed to believe he has come out and said he is not happy ! As he lives in Switzerland and wasnt at the game yesterday who has he told ? Have Solent got a reporter outside his front door ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveygwyatt Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 I agree with the ash cloud reason. It was an end of season friendly... May be he has important wor commitments at home next week and does not want to risk being stuck over here.. Pointless gossip and **** stirring.. Why can't some of you so called fans just be happy with what we have and stop looking for the next problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gonzo Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 Maybe I'm taking a very simplistic view here, but why would Liebherr and Cortese allow Pards to sign another player (Calderon according to numerous reports) if they were about to sack him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides who on earth at St Mary's would openly tell Radio Solent there was friction involving Liebherr? We're talking about a local radio station here. "Someone at the club" could mean anyone from Markus Liebherr to a random bloke walking his dog who just so happened to be walking outside St Mary's.

eelpie Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 The Solent is wrong because he was sitting in his usual seat and I could see him clearly beamlng when the players did their lap of honour. Of course he could have a double. Perhaps you guys should know by now not to be falling for mischief-making by that skate TV company. Surprised at you, DD.

Stop right there, see my point? lol It's very unlikely Sky, Solent and the Echo would have researched these rumours independently and come up with the same result. Media outlets (including Sky and the beeb) routinely create stories that are mere reworking of stories they've read in other media outlets, it's called cheap, lazy and easy journalism. Merrington and Adam wouldn't have "made it up", they were probably reading it straight from the Echo! who I reckon practically made the story up to sell a few papers! Besides the relationship between the Echo and the club hasn't been that great recently has it. . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackFrost Posted 9 May, 2010 Share Posted 9 May, 2010 I got work experience for a local BBC radio station in the early 90s, real eye-opener. For example in the wide world it amuses me that these "competition phone rigging" stories have come out in the last few years. It was going on 20 years ago lol. Anyway with the season ending and the local paper no longer able to print match reports, I imagine they'd print anything to make a story. .
