Weston Saint Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 I am going to go out on a limb here. I have just read some of his recent threads. What he is posting is news to many of us at a time when very little is getting out of SMS or Staplewood. His posts are slanted against Cortese and I think that is because it is coming from one particular source in the media via a club leak. I treat what he has to say with caution but not outright dismissal. There is no smoke without fire. Is he a Saints supporter? You bet he is. Is he bias? Yes I think he is based on what I have heard from him in the past. Does he know the game? Yes he does. Do I know him? No not personally but I have heard him speak publically before. He clearly dislikes Cortese just as he disliked Lowe but thought the world of Crouch. Enough on him though. I am not going to say who he is, just thought outright dismissal of his posts is probably unwarranted. I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH. I HAVE NO INSIDE INFORMATION Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggface Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 At least he makes the place more interesting, it's been dull since the takeover. Seems spot on with team news, everything else I am interested to hear but will take with a pinch of salt like most things I hear saints related. I think we all know who he is.

Viking Warrior Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 I have an inkling who leftback is weston. Im not suprised at his views they are consistent with his views of past regimes, but as you say there is no smoke witjhout fire. but that fire is only a very small ember and if someone keeps blowing on the ember the wole situation may catch light. I hope not as we might end up with a fire engine with no hose pipe or water to extinguish the flames. ( I.e we could lose the club) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smirking_Saint Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 I am pretty sure i know who he is now tbf. And i don't completely disregard him, but anytime i hear him speak he has been very anti the current set up Its a shame as if he posts were not so very agenda driven he would probably be a decent poster. But he comes across as a bit of a bellend. Still, thats one team crossed off my come back trials list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thedelldays Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 (edited) he does have SOME interesting things to say...but it gets so boring with the CONSTANT anti-cortese slants on every sinle sentance/post/thread he adds he is Mark Dennis (or someone who knows him)...the posts/threads added sound the same as if they were being spoken out on talksport Edited 2 November, 2010 by Thedelldays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he clearly has access to some inside info - buts its rendered meaningless because he cant pass it on without putting it through the bitter and angry filter first. My brother works with and is mates with the sports editor of a national newspaper - his take on inside gossip? "we hear stuff all the time.

The9 Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 Why can't people use the word "biased" properly nowadays ? Is he bias ? No, that's the off-centre weight in the wooden thing they roll in bowls matches. Is he biased ? Probably. Almost as annoying as "if we relegate", which thankfully we're unlikely to see this season.

But he comes across as a bit of a bellend. Still, thats one team crossed off my come back trials list. This is exactly it; he's pretty much always spot on but has confessed that he has a complete agenda against Cortese, Reed and Hunter. So sometimes his postings get lost between the desire to denigrate the above. He's much better on the board than not, especially once you can see past the agenda and just examine the facts (which as I've said are usually spot on).

croydonsaint Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 I read the thread that you are alluding to. It has gone through my mind that in some ways we are in a rather insecure position. It is one thing having a rich owner enjoying the pleasure of building a succesful team, with all the social, personal and even at some point financial benefits. With his very sad passing in the medium term, will the family and even Cortese really have the desire to continue. Of course early on all parties will want to support the desires of a much loved man, but in the cold light of day can the vision really continue with out the main participant. I have also noticed a certain lack of financial activity, most visibly I guess in the transfer market. January will make things clearer in this respect and if no players are signed that would start making me more convinced that things are changing. I am not panicking, because we have a good manager and our position versus the awful Lowe era is far better, but I am not going to be surprised if we do not have major, significant changes well before the much vaunted 5 year plan.

SuperMikey Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 Quite frankly, I don't give a toss about him. He's obviously got an agenda, something's obviously caused him to have that agenda, but again, I don't actually care. Every one of his posts are just Cortese rants. If he had something constructive to say rather than calling names, then we might actually care what he says. But until then, he's just a WUM with an agenda.

Gemmel Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 Since day 1 cortese seems to have upset a whole host of different people and I think we can include Leftback as one of those. But Cortese doesn't give a toss, he is here for one thing only and that's to win and anything in his way will be removed or belittled. I am coming round to the fact that might be exactly what Saints need right now, so have no agenda against Cortese and want him to succeed more than anything, but from the intial euphoria of having a saviour, just remember, all that glitters aint gold.

I am not going to say who he is, just thought outright dismissal of his posts is probably unwarranted. I COULD BE WRONG THOUGH. I HAVE NO INSIDE INFORMATION I can't say I'd even noticed him until you posted this, but now you've drawn attention to him.... The only thing I can see that he's posted that would cause me any concern is the peculiar one about a supposed court case over broken promises between Liebherr family and saints. That is a) worrying, but b) so far-fetched as to be ridiculous. It may well be that the Liebherr family will not now spend the sort of money that Markus himself might have done in future years. In fact I think that is very likely, since they do not appear to have the personal affection for the club that he did. However I can't see how that could lead to a court case, and certainly not one so soon. Has the will even yet gone through whatever the Swiss call probate? With the size (and international nature) of Markus's estate it can't be simple. Oh, and c) even if this worry has some basis in fact, there's bugger all I can do about it so why would it matter whether I ignore him or not?

I think that was the gist of what Weston Saint was saying. Although he (Leftback) clearly doesn't like / rate Cortese, the stuff he has actually posted regarding team selections, people leaving and joining etc. has been extremely accurate and not "Rubbish", leaving him quite clearly well connected to somebody. Ultimately that makes it all the more worrying if you read his post about a court case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 2 November, 2010 Share Posted 2 November, 2010 If leftback has contacts with the playing/medical/coaching staff that may well give him team line ups, transfer, loans, staff leaving club information. But I doubt if these contacts would be privy to discussions between Cortese and the Liebherr Family about finance and impending court cases.
