Fitzhugh Fella Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 I was told on Monday that the ex-Saints organisation including Benali and Le Tissier were now welcome to visit any areas of St Marys. Indeed Franny was even rung specifically to inform him. I thought at the time that was a bit of a climb down but it seems the new broom was already at work. Came just a couple of months to late for the book launch though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRM Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Relaunch. We had two for the Ted Bates statue. or at the very least put in a new request to the club to stock the book? i would imagine there is a good chance they will do so now good news on the ex-saints. it is healthy for the club to have good relations with the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doggface Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Good to hear. The fractions were now so deep it was never going to be fixed under Cortese.

Marsdinho Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 Yeah, I can see it now....Katherina wrestles control off of Cortese, first thing on the agenda is to make sure MLT and Benali have the freedom of SMS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kraken Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 (edited) when you refer to ex saints organisation . duncan . I hope your not refering to the special ones , as SISA AKA Chorley , mcmillan and co. Of course he isn't. The ex Saints were completely frozen out by the previous regime, insofar as they actually used website space on the OS at one point (as various other clubs allow) and this relationship was abruptly ended, together with a general arms length approach adopted. As an excellent charitable organisation who more than look after their own (see the Kevin Moore fundraising appeals) this is welcome news, if relatively insignificant in the general scheme of things.

OldNick Posted 16 January, 2014 Share Posted 16 January, 2014 So all the freebies are back on tap, that's good news for the old guard, the normal supporter will gain nothing from that. MLT is a superb player in our history but forget not he was close to finishing our club off due to a bad decision/company. NC was right to keep the snipers at arms length. It is interesting that FB was contacted, no doubt an old friend at the club probably not by the hierarchy. i suspect ML knew of the past problems with the old guard and would have supported NC decisions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they may even have a box? They're a good bunch, having met them at a London Saints event a couple of years ago. Not too fond of Cortese mind you...

Agree everyone pulling in the same direction is always better than having a divisive ex chairman who was short of people skills off dealing with his staff and legends of the club and maybe the business community might fill boxs again is the way ahead.
