[scott_saints]

[Thedelldays]

madness

[Matthew Le God]

At a guess you are referring to Bill Green?

 

If so, why haven't you named him? Puts an element of doubt in your claims.

 

What is your source for this?

[Smirking_Saint]

Just when you thought it was safe to go back to St Mary's.....

 

One man........

 

One agenda.....

 

(all said in husky voice)

[Smirking_Saint]

madness

 

Is it ?

 

Do we actually know anything ?

[saint_mears]

Is it ?

Yeah cortese is a ****.

[Matthew Le God]

Yeah cortese is a ****.

 

Based on what exactly? Largely unsubstantiated speculation I'm guessing.

[Thedelldays]

Is it ?

 

Do we actually know anything ?

 

no...we know nothing and never before has the departure of a scout/coach/kitman who 99% of fan never heard of caused so much angst to so many

these are scary times

[Colinjb]

Member of staff leaves club shocker.

 

I feel sorry for the poor lads losing their job but there will be reasons. Cortese is not an idiot.

[Give it to Ron]

Cripes Leftback you must be fit carrying those 56lb of chips on each shoulder.

[Thedelldays]

to be honest..I have just thrown up with shock that football people are on the move....I mean, football jobs are really long term aren't they...

 

this is sick and surprisingly not on the news

Cortese fires only Red Indian at SMS? So he's a racist as well as everything else. Well I never...

[Stepgar]

Has it occured to anyone that the scout may have ****e and that he has been relieved of duties just like you or I would be if we were doing a **** poor job?

 

Just because it is a scout does not mean they are untouchable.

[St Chalet]

Perhaps Cortese traced the signings of Pulis, Gasmi and Forecast back to him?

I think leftback is the only one that is really bothered.

 

What with his ever growing stick and a Cortese to beat 'n'all

[Docker Walker6]

LB on 14/9 you posted goodbye Wilkins, what happened??

[NickG]

lol

[Badger]

Perhaps the chief scout was knobbing a players wife.

 

It is wrong to comment further until the facts are known.

[paris]

Non story.....Next..

[surrey1saint]

Don't really care,I'm affraid......much more important things to worry about.

[dune]

Yeah cortese is a ****.

 

All this boardroom crap needs putting to bed now. We we've got a good team and a good manager and it's time to concentrate on the football.

[hughieslastminutegoal]

Is this the way to treat a new post? It's one of the very few new ones started nowadays. Make the most of it.

I'll go back to sleep now. You remaining three carry on with the tea party.

[Wes Tender]

I've arrived at the situation whereby I read the title, thought to myself what the hell has happened now, then noticed who the contributor was. Then my reaction was to wonder what new gripe had surfaced to fuel leftback's spite and bile. And then it was no further surprise to find that smears has somehow concluded that blame must be laid at Cortese's door, as he is the Devil incarnate.

 

So having read the apparent reason behind the thread and the lack of substance to substantiate it, pardon me if I am totally underwhelmed by the whole affair.

[Hatch]

Just read the thread and I still don't know what happened and who it happened to.

[Joensuu]

Just read the thread and I still don't know what happened and who it happened to.

 

What has happened? An attempt to undermine Cortese's position, based on no evidence. I think it's called 'fanning the flames'.

[dune]

Whatever did happen at chorleys rabble rousing speech at the Northam club after Pardews sacking?

 

Did it even take place?

 

There is an element that I really believe want Saints to do badly on the pitch so that they can pursue their agendas.

[once_bitterne]

I assume that rumours that leftback was the disgruntled Mr Benali were rubbish? I would hope that one of our former greats (kind of) would have a better grasp of the English language.

Nice one saints fan.

[percy windham]

At least the new Cheif Scout effect will give us a win on Saturday now.

[saintscottofthenortham]

Superman wears Nicola Cortese Pyjamas to bed. FACT.

[georgeweahscousin]

I heard that the Chief Scout looked NC directly in the eye. Schoolboy error.

He turned to stone

this thread had so much potential

To "fan the flames" you need flames to fan. In this instance I think the only flames are in the figment of the imagination of someone whom I am presuming has in some way been wronged (whether actually or imagined) by Mr NC.

see what happens when you let registered users start threads!

For those that have doubted Leftback before, here is the perfect test and probably news that will be confirmed (I have no idea if he is right or not) in the next 10 days or so.

I stand by my original opinion, he is as close or closer to the action then anyone else on this board.

Cortese is his own man and doesn't take any **** (Regardless of whether he is right or wrong) from anyone - I think we can all agree on that.

There are many stories on here that paint him (Cortese) in a bad light and many more that haven't even made this message board, but however unpalatable (Or in some cases bizarre) his actions or decisions may have been, i can't help thinking, that maybe, just maybe he is exactly what this club needs right now.... A head strong, bullish, **** the rest of the world type personality, where winning is the only thing that counts and two fingers in the air to anybody that trys to stand in the way.

 

So from someone that thought the removal of the installment plan was an insult to the fans, that the car parking was just a joke, the ticket tax was pure exploitation and getting rid of Pardew was plain stupid. I strangely find myself defending him and thinking we will be just fine under his tenure. We might lose a few friends in football along the way, we may even lose some fans, but the guy is here to win and that's got to be our first priority.

More likely a players granny IMO !!

For those PM's to me, no I am not going to give a name. My response was to leftback. I am not about to uncover him. We might lose his little gems!!!!!!

I would agree with that conclusion and why Cortese is an overwhelming force for good for Saints. I have no problem with nigh on all the things he has done, but he could have been a bit more friendly in explaining in detail why the decisions were made. He deliberately keeps a very low profile and we hardly hear from him, his main weakness which creates all the rumours. That's just him and if that his is outstanding weakness, I will gladly accept that after all the others we have had displayed by previous incumbents.

 

The one thing I am unhappy with is the treatment of Nick Illingsworth, but I still have not bothered to find out what exactly happened there and any conclusion. Whatever has happened, Nick has had the good sense not to fuel the fire, which does him proud. What really impressed me about Cortese was the fact he kept Pardew on. He had a big disagreement with Pardew, addressed the situation and never let personal feelings come into the decision for what he thought was best for Saints. If he thought for one minute that he would be replacing Pardew that early in the season, he would have been gone before the end of last season.

 

I notice Leftback has not tried to pin this one on Cortese with his continual campaign against Les Reed, others arrive to fill that vacuum. I can understand some of the points Leftback has against Reed, but am positive if he is not performing for the club he will eventually be found out and Cortese will act in Saints best interest.

Most of them are only just this side of 100 years old anyway, if he was doing that he's probably had cardiac failure.

[Weston Saint]

The Chief Scout will be 60 years old in December not that it matters, we only employed him this season. leftback is not employed by the club so must listen to tittle tattle from one side or one person. I have heard his bias opinions before.
