Cortese has ego problem - Le Tissier (From Daily Echo)

Well said Tiss, Cortese is nothing short of a cowardly idiot.

Tiss is only being honest, which is more then I can say for the Chairman, there are many questions left to be answered, 1- when did you apraoch the new manager, 2-when did you decide to apoint him, 3-how long was the new manager studying the team, why could you not ask Mr Atkin if he wanted to be promoted to a better roll as 'Director of football' rather then humiliate him with the sack. there are far to many questions to be answered, I dought the Echo has enough room to put them all down.

I will coninue to be a fan of Saints, but my trust for you has gone.

rant over

Does cortese really think that we can be top 6 without a massive injection of cash ala Chelsea / man city . We are a premiership club with fantastic supporters but we wouldn't fill a 40k stadium week in week out , we couldn't compete with the big boys I am afraid , being realistic.
The top 4 teams are miles away from us in terms of crowds and finance but won't stop me supporting my team through thick or thin.
On the plus side we have an academy the envy of the premiership par none

Completely agree. If anything, he almost brought about the death of the club by getting the period of exclusivity which stopped the Liebherrs from bidding.
He comes across as very childish, he takes every opportunity he can to knock Cortese, on Twitter, on Sky Sports, even at charity events!

Every major decision that Cortese has made, has been the correct one!
The new coach has a very good track record and is very highly regarded in Spain/Europe. He has experience as a TOP player and manager in the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD! He is a modern coach with proven results, especially bringing along young players.
This decision is taking Saints to a higher level and will secure Saints position in the Premiership.
(Adkins did a very good job and I feel sorry for him BUT Saints need to push on and this new Coach can do that.)

After all this it's now been shown what sort of a man Cortese is and those of that doubted Tiss (and the Echo actually) previously and now see that it was the dark lord that was the trouble, not Tiss or the Echo.
Cortese is a truly disgusting egotistical and will be told what we thiink of him on Monday.
Im glad some people on Ugly and Saintsweb arent as stupid as you lot of a$4 licks.

I wish mlt would keep it buttoned, cortese's ambitions for the club are greater than most people realise and he'll do what he needs to in order to achieve that goal, be that sacking Adkins or insisting freeloading ex players pay for their tickets or having sponsors who actually pay for their sponsorship.

Assuming Cortese is as hard-nosed as we think he is...do you really think a prostest will make the faintest bit of difference?

He is simply waiting for the storm to blow over.

I choose to support the 11 players who take to the pitch on Monday night.

Is that really so disgusting?

I liked NA but I truly believe that NC knows what he is doing! We won't look back from this. If we end up being an established top 10 prem club with great young talent coming through like in the past but we manage to keep hold of them then I will love being a saints fan!

Oh yes because nobody else would have bought our club would they ffs. I will get behind the team same as always (the Northam being the only ones who do) but I certainnly wont be getting behind Cortese after the way he has treated Adkins. Its not all about money and league position ffs its about have a bit of integrity and honour and treating a man who has done so much for our club with a bit of honour. You carry on, as a Saints fan and like everyone I have spoke tto I have never been so sick to be a Saints fan right now and why everybody else in football right now is disgusted with our club.
You happy clappers carry on ffs.
Cortese didnt buy they club the liebherr did, you think we should just sit back while he does what the fck he wants with our club, idiot.

Ambition like Cortese's seems a little uncouth to them, but I'm glad someone is dreaming big for us.

Only time will tell if this will be a good move, and maybe it could have been handled better, but fans should go into it with an open mind. Are some of us secretly scared of success?

You are so ffing ignorant. Mr le tissier the man that not only backed the wrong horse, but looked utterly stupid in doing so, and Mr Cortese that was behind the purchase of this club, the same man that has helped get investment into our training and youth facilities, and £30m into the first team.... You are the sort of so called fan that is so short sighted!

You really are something, Sally Hamilton Original. WTF is this 'Le Toss'? Your childish response to the reported comment from Matt Le Tissier (that's his name in case you'd forgotten, but then again, disrespect seems to be part of your 'charm') is typical of a lot of recent postings since the chairman wielded the axe and sacked NA. First off, your assertion that 'ALL saints fans will be behind the team thinking how great life is' cannot possibly be true. You don't speak for me and you don't know how the future will pan out. As far as I am concerned, if Matt want's to make a comment from a personal point of view, just like you and I, he has the right to do so. Just because you think that he is wrong is no reason to be so disrespectful. Such short memories some of you. Pathetic.

With his may years at Southampton FC, serving under many managers and many chairmen and has been very close to the club since he hung up his boots, I consider that he had earned the right to offer an opinion.

Why should he 'learn to button it'? Are you the only ne that is entitled to express an opinion?

In your glowing coment about the new manager, I would not criticise your opinion that he has experience as a Top player, but what experience has he had as a manager? Getting Espanyol to bottom position in, what you consider to be, the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD?

I think that Ian Branfoot could have managed that.

It would appear that in every newspaper that I have read today, their football pundits are in agreement with Le Tiss, so I imagine that you will be busy contacting them, telling them that, as they have no football management experience, they should 'button it' and listen to your word of wisdom.

Well, if you want to live in the past, feel free to carry on.

Cortese has a football club and a business to run. He is obligated to succeed. His decisions so far have been correct (Including his advice to Liebherr to buy it in the first place when no man nor beast wanted it!)

The new guy is highly respected in Spain/Europe (do some research!) and is regarded as a modern coach (something we are lacking in England other than the foreigners in place already!) His record supersedes anything Le Tiss achieved (Yes, I know he was a fabulous player to watch!).

Me, I live in the here and now and tomorrow!

If Le Tissier had been commenting on Banking, then I would have told him to button it, because he would not be speaking from experience in that field.

Le Tissier was speaking about Southampton Football Club. A club that he has been closely associated with since he was a young teenager.

As he is no mug, I am prepared to accept that, during that period, he has gained considerably more knowledge about the football-side of the club than Cortese will ever know.

By the same token, I would not back his knowledge on the financial aspects of running a football club against Cortese's.

Cortese's advice to Liebherr to buy the club was as business/financial investment, not a football one.

With Liebherr's death, Cortese is running the business, but appears to be sticking his nose into the football side of things. Abramovic has done so at Chelsea, and that is causing waves, with them not achieving what should be expected, considering the money invested.

The new manager's record as a player may be superior to anything that Le Tissier achieved, but considerably inferior to what Adkins achieved as a manager, and it is as a manager that he has been recruited, not as a player.

You ask me to do some research.

What did you discover when you researched Mauricio Pochettino achievements as a manager?

How do you think that compares to Adkins record?

Sorry Rampton but I disagree mate. Matt Le Tiss has taken every opportunity to knock Cortese since day one. He obviously has a personal agenda and I for one and am fed up with hearing it ! Saints legend he may well be but I wish he'd stop bleating on

Sorry Rampton but I disagree mate. Matt Le Tiss has taken every opportunity to knock Cortese since day one. He obviously has a personal agenda and I for one and am fed up with hearing it ! Saints legend he may well be but I wish he'd stop bleating on

F4ckin disgusting. W4nkers the lot of you who knock le god and cannot be saints fans.
Mlt was never a mercenary, ending his career on something like £4k a week. He turned down offers to move to several big clubs and remains loyal to this day. He entertained us for 15 years and was worth the entry fee alone!
If I was embarrassed about the Adkins affair I'm even more so at reading the sh1t written by some on here. Nothing short of blasphemy!

You are right CD. A correct approach was made for him, and everything was done 'by the book' with no hard feelings between him and Scunthorpe.

While he has been giving his undivided attention to getting the team into a better league position, the plotting has been going on behind his back to find a replacement.

With the way that Cortese has treated Adkins, is it not possible that he has also been devious in his dealings with Matt Le Tissier, which would account for there being no love lost between them?

I think that Cortese has got involved with the football side of the club, instead of concentrating on the administration side.

The new coach has a very good track record and is very highly regarded in Spain/Europe. He has experience as a TOP player and manager in the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD! He is a modern coach with proven results, especially bringing along young players.
This decision is taking Saints to a higher level and will secure Saints position in the Premiership.
(Adkins did a very good job and I feel sorry for him BUT Saints need to push on and this new Coach can do that.)

Ghk, you never can take it very well when people disagree with you.

No-one will disagree that what Le Tiss has done on the pitch makes him a Saints Legend.

He is however accountable for what he has done and says off the pitch since and it has not been lily white.

If he slags off others publicly, he should expect a reaction from those that don't agree.

Blasphemy? He is Le-god, but he is not actually a GOD.

The top 4 teams are miles away from us in terms of crowds and finance but won't stop me supporting my team through thick or thin.
On the plus side we have an academy the envy of the premiership par none

this is a good point.

i think best case scenario is extend the stadium to say 40k and we could occasionally break into sixth or seventh.

bearing in mind we could of finished 12th this season if we had carried on improving...signed a couple of players i.e. centre half

we would still of been ahead of the five year plan ...

im afraid it just looks like cortese has made a decision based on falling out with NA

he made up with puncheon and look what happened

it simply does look like ego ahead of club.

dangerous.

(Adkins did a very good job and I feel sorry for him BUT Saints need to push on and this new Coach can do that.)

With his may years at Southampton FC, serving under many managers and many chairmen and has been very close to the club since he hung up his boots, I consider that he had earned the right to offer an opinion.

Why should he 'learn to button it'? Are you the only ne that is entitled to express an opinion?

In your glowing coment about the new manager, I would not criticise your opinion that he has experience as a Top player, but what experience has he had as a manager? Getting Espanyol to bottom position in, what you consider to be, the BEST LEAGUE IN THE WORLD?

I think that Ian Branfoot could have managed that.

It would appear that in every newspaper that I have read today, their football pundits are in agreement with Le Tiss, so I imagine that you will be busy contacting them, telling them that, as they have no football management experience, they should 'button it' and listen to your word of wisdom.

Well, if you want to live in the past, feel free to carry on.

Cortese has a football club and a business to run. He is obligated to succeed. His decisions so far have been correct (Including his advice to Liebherr to buy it in the first place when no man nor beast wanted it!)

The new guy is highly respected in Spain/Europe (do some research!) and is regarded as a modern coach (something we are lacking in England other than the foreigners in place already!) His record supersedes anything Le Tiss achieved (Yes, I know he was a fabulous player to watch!).

Me, I live in the here and now and tomorrow!

If Le Tissier had been commenting on Banking, then I would have told him to button it, because he would not be speaking from experience in that field.

Le Tissier was speaking about Southampton Football Club. A club that he has been closely associated with since he was a young teenager.

As he is no mug, I am prepared to accept that, during that period, he has gained considerably more knowledge about the football-side of the club than Cortese will ever know.

By the same token, I would not back his knowledge on the financial aspects of running a football club against Cortese's.

Cortese's advice to Liebherr to buy the club was as business/financial investment, not a football one.

With Liebherr's death, Cortese is running the business, but appears to be sticking his nose into the football side of things. Abramovic has done so at Chelsea, and that is causing waves, with them not achieving what should be expected, considering the money invested.

The new manager's record as a player may be superior to anything that Le Tissier achieved, but considerably inferior to what Adkins achieved as a manager, and it is as a manager that he has been recruited, not as a player.

You ask me to do some research.

What did you discover when you researched Mauricio Pochettino achievements as a manager?

How do you think that compares to Adkins record?

Pochettino has both played and managed in the best league in the world - La Liga! He did a very good managerial job under adverse circumstances. (The fans loved him and do not blame him for anything!).

But hey, don't take my word for it - have a listen to this articulate and knowledgeable lady........

Le Tiss was backing not in competition with Markus Liebherr when he supported Fialko.

At th time, he was the only one showing any interest, and Matt lost quite a few quid by trying to save the club.

If he slags off others publicly, he should expect a reaction from those that don't agree.

Blasphemy? He is Le-god, but he is not actually a GOD.

cortese, egotistical tyrant that has alienated past hero's and against fans wishes sacked not 1 but 2 managers and is now on his 3rd. A little like a certain mr Lowe, and where did we end up?
Le tiss, loyal saints player who started and finished his career with us. Only fault was to back an opposing take over ( didn't see any other ex employees trying to help out) has remained loyal to this day and despite feud with chairman (who incidentally has not put up his own money but draws a tidy sum) remains loyal.

Le Tiss was backing not in competition with Markus Liebherr when he supported Fialko.

At th time, he was the only one showing any interest, and Matt lost quite a few quid by trying to save the club.

You really are something, Sally Hamilton Original. WTF is this 'Le Toss'? Your childish response to the reported comment from Matt Le Tissier (that's his name in case you'd forgotten, but then again, disrespect seems to be part of your 'charm') is typical of a lot of recent postings since the chairman wielded the axe and sacked NA. First off, your assertion that 'ALL saints fans will be behind the team thinking how great life is' cannot possibly be true. You don't speak for me and you don't know how the future will pan out. As far as I am concerned, if Matt want's to make a comment from a personal point of view, just like you and I, he has the right to do so. Just because you think that he is wrong is no reason to be so disrespectful. Such short memories some of you. Pathetic.

Sorry Rampton but I disagree mate. Matt Le Tiss has taken every opportunity to knock Cortese since day one. He obviously has a personal agenda and I for one and am fed up with hearing it ! Saints legend he may well be but I wish he'd stop bleating on

Could not have put it better!

F4ckin disgusting. W4nkers the lot of you who knock le god and cannot be saints fans.
Mlt was never a mercenary, ending his career on something like £4k a week. He turned down offers to move to several big clubs and remains loyal to this day. He entertained us for 15 years and was worth the entry fee alone!
If I was embarrassed about the Adkins affair I'm even more so at reading the sh1t written by some on here. Nothing short of blasphemy!
Posting on here is like throwing seeds on stoney ground, your welcome to it and deserve all you get backing cortese. Sheep, ostriches, mugs.

Linesman, by all accounts you are a skate?

Matt wanted to become chairman, fair play. His consortium pulled out after t

hey had a period of exclusivity when it turned out they could not get the points deducted. This could have been fatal for SFC. Cortese persuaded Marcus to take on Southampton debt & points deductions and all. Club saved and we have not really looked back.

Since then MLT has not lost an opportunity to snipe at Cortese in the press. I fo not think MLT is doing the club, the fans or himself any favors.

Thornhill Saint, by all accounts you are a pratt.

Fialko said that he would make Le Tissier Chairman when he took over, Matt did not seek the Chairmanship, but said that he would accept.

There is a difference.

There is no love lost between Cortese and Matt, but there was no problem between Liebherr and Matt.

In the past I have always found Matt to be an honest, straight forward person.

With the way that Adkins sacking, and immediate replacement took place, I don't think that I would be able to say the same about Cortese.

Maybe, one day the truth about the bad blood between them will come out. Until then, I will trust the one that I have come to trust over many years.

I merely saying Matt Le Tissier is free to express his opinion, even if they comes across as bitter, and a bit crass sometimes.

I also believe people have the freedom to disagree how they will even disagree without being castigated.

If you know him so well why does he not speak our? Rather than snipe endlessly without justification, I would prefer he come out with it and we can make up our own minds.

May I remind you tht, if there wee no d*cks, you would be not around to comment on here - unless you were the result of a donation to a sperm bank.

Instead of name-calling, I suggest you re-read the comment that I made, which was in answer to one made by ghk.

EVERYONE has a right to make a comment, and I never stated otherwise.

There is obviously no love lost between Cortese and Le Tissier, but I do not know the reason, and doubt that any other poster on here does either.

Will we hear Adkins reaction to his sacking?

I doubt it, because there would probably be a 'vow of silence' clause in his sacking agreement.

Will Cortese make a statement giving an acceptable reason, that we can understand and accept, for Adkins' departure.

On his past record, I very much doubt it.
