Saints cancel Le Tissier meeting
1:30pm Wednesday 6th February 2013 in Sport
Saints chairman Nicola Cortese's meeting with Matt Le Tissier has been cancelled, with the club claiming their former player has not acted "in good faith".
As reported this morning, the pair had agreed to hold talks in about a month's time to discuss their differences.
However, the club have now confirmed they have cancelled the meeting.
A club spokesman said: ''A meeting was organised between Nicola Cortese, the club's executive chairman, and Matthew Le Tissier in what the club believed was good faith.
''Both parties had agreed that it would be a private meeting with no publicity surrounding it, yet within 24 hours this matter was put in the public domain and further negative comments attributed to Mr Le Tissier have appeared this morning.
''As an ex-player, Mr Le Tissier's achievements are well known.
''However, his repeated criticisms over a prolonged period of time are not justified and have not merited any response from the club. Nor has the motive for these personal attacks ever been made entirely clear.
''Mr Cortese wishes to reiterate that he will not make comment about somebody he does not know personally - and that includes Mr Le Tissier.
''These criticisms have not affected the club's success and progress on or off the pitch in recent years and will not divert the club from its course in the future.
''For Mr Le Tissier to agree to meet 'in good faith' and then make such comments can only be seen as a breach of good faith and certainly not in the best interests of the club.
''Mr Le Tissier also refers to his friend Francis Benali having the best interests of the club at heart, while neglecting to mention that the same person is currently suing Southampton Football Club in relation to a lease dispute and lost ambassadorial fees.
''It is a legal action the club will be defending rigorously in the best interests of the club and its reputation.
''In all the circumstances and in light of the comments attributed to Mr Le Tissier, the club believes that it is now not possible for the above mentioned meeting to take place in good faith.
''We would nevertheless encourage Mr Le Tissier to join with our fans and continue to enjoy the success the club has achieved over the last three and a half years.
''The club now considers this matter closed and will not be making any further comment about it.''

If he really wants to settle his differences with the club then do it. Involving the Echo is like waving a red rag to a bull.

There is no way the club could trust the contents of the meeting to stay behind closed doors.
MLT was a great servant of the club but I think its time he left this alone.

I have to say if MLT has come out and made these comments then he has been daft, that said i dont for one minute think NC is the easiest bloke to get along with.
Whilst i will be ever grateful to ML and NC for saving the club for me watching MLT save the club year in year out was a great spectacle....just a shame this cannot be sorted.

thats why its been cancelled matt, you would have put everything said on twitter and NC doesn`t do the `announce everything to the world` thing. the meeting was ment to be private, as in dont tell everyone its going to happen. its a shame you cant let it go matt, i also think that benali is man enough to stand up for himself, he is suing the club and the courts will decide either way. if the courts back the saints will mlt admit he got that one wrong? i doubt it.

Matt, I bet you'll take a peak on this thread, we all love you for your past achievements, but you really need to thow your final statement on this into the public domain by stating that you've acted foolishly and are sorry to have gone public when you shouldn't have.
Otherwise, see you in Northam sometime.

MT is no match for Mr Cortese in the Boardroom and should stick to what he now does best – game punditry. Chairmen are appointed to represent the organisation, not to get into minutiae with individuals on personalised issues. If I was Mr Cortese, I would certainly ignore him – his responsibilities are to achieve good things for the club, not to be diverted down side streets to enable MT to exercise his ego in public. Drop the topic! It is not worth pursuing further.

MLT thinks that because of a 15min meeting with NC that they know each other - it takes a little longer than that, and NC is correct when he says they do not know each other, his concept and understanding the English language is better than Matts. COYRs - PS who is the Manc - sounds like a typical supporter from Guildford or the Home counties with that has seen MU on the telly a few times with his Dr Pepper and prawn sarny......
I'm all in favour of free speach but it carries responsibilities and the DE could at least monitor the site and block those who are clearly here for attention and not for the banter or debate.

MLT can expect to lose a lot of public support he had before this. He has shot himself in the foot big time!!

As i trully belieave when you two can hoepfully be friends at ome level it would be another solid brick in the walll, and that you both obviously have Southampton FC in your hearts and togehter we would be all the more richer, than letting the media drag this great club of of ours through the media gutter!

MLT will always be a Saints footbal legend and quite rightly so but why oh why does he feel the need to continue publicly slagging off the chairman and by association our club is beyond me.
Despite all that had gone before NC agreed to a meeting but asked that it be private, a reasonable request I would think but no MLT runs straight to NCs favourite publication (NOT!!) and announces it.

On another note, the Echo had reported in the past that the club was not treating its former players well, namely Francis Benali. But in their reports, they failed to mention that FB was suing SFC. So now I can also understand why they would ban him, - it was not for no reason as earlier reported. Comes to show that there are always two sides to every story.

If a private meeting is agreed it is just that, private. This would have been an ideal opportunity to resolve this in a professional manner.
As I posted earleir today, from MLTs point of view it all seems so trivial, what's the big deal? Why it has made a newspaper headline is beyond me. Unless it is just pubilicity seeking.

Now that he no longer 'pulls on his boots' for the club, you come out with snide comments like this.
Matt built up his profile long before he was a regular on TV, and that profile was one that showed him to be an honest, loyal, man of his word.
It is not Matt that should apologise for gobbing off, it is people like yourself, who have such short memories that shold do the apolgising.

I will settle for nothing less than wholesome praise for improving the concept and the reality of our youth development academy.
I was in the crowd earlier this season for almost two and a half hours and I would love to know if he remembers me, or at least explain how can he deny it ?
I demand to be given a role ate the club by offering my vocsal support club and coughing up my hard earned cash at the turnstile to demonstrate my commitment.
It will be in good faith - I promise not to talk about it to the Daily ChipWrapper.
How can he refuse .. and if he dares to refuse me an audience I WILL NOT go to the tabloids, local chipwrapper or Sky TV.
There !!! That told him. Yeah !!

Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!

I wouldnt have taken bets on Cortese doing this meeting anyway. Well known for cancelling and delaying things. Simply just used MLT here for a pr stunt that has got some fans believing it all.
The fact remains, why has Nicola Cortese had a hate agenda on MLT and others since he turned up in 2009 ?
Luckily Cortese will not be here much longer as hes only interested in making himself a load of money.
Sad for the fans that believe all the lies and twaddle that comes out of SFC.

thats why its been cancelled matt, you would have put everything said on twitter and NC doesn`t do the `announce everything to the world` thing. the meeting was ment to be private, as in dont tell everyone its going to happen. its a shame you cant let it go matt, i also think that benali is man enough to stand up for himself, he is suing the club and the courts will decide either way. if the courts back the saints will mlt admit he got that one wrong? i doubt it.
Matt being at Sky probably doesn't help him in this situation as he would never be able to keep quiet about what was discussed. He should remove all comments about NC from Twitter and state that he was wrong to discuss details of the meeting.

I was not impressed when he muddied the waters 3 or 4 years ago when the Club was in administration. Fronting a very dubious crowd, who allegedly were trying to take over, was very naive indeed. Delusions of grandeur, perhaps.
I have watched, and supported, Saints since 1947, when I was 5 years of age.
You've tried to put up MLT, now it's time to shut up.

I like NC's style. He seems reserved, measured, not given to hysteria, and utterly decent. In fact, he seems to show all the qualities of an English gentleman. It's a pity they don't seem to make them like that here anymore. That, and decent cars.

I wouldnt have taken bets on Cortese doing this meeting anyway. Well known for cancelling and delaying things. Simply just used MLT here for a pr stunt that has got some fans believing it all.
The fact remains, why has Nicola Cortese had a hate agenda on MLT and others since he turned up in 2009 ?
Luckily Cortese will not be here much longer as hes only interested in making himself a load of money.

matt goes public and the meeting gets called off - win for saints they agreed to meet and mlt opens mouth so he looks bad, bad pr for matt and saints look like the offended party.
matt was a very big player for us and yes was highly involved in helping maintain our L1/prem status and he will always be a hero to saints fans, but that does not mean that he is always right. the reason that fans are sniping at matt is because our club is being dragged through the mud in and by the media because of stories like this. nc does make decisions which get huge press attention, we just dont need the extra attention that this story brings.

matt goes public and the meeting gets called off - win for saints they agreed to meet and mlt opens mouth so he looks bad, bad pr for matt and saints look like the offended party.
matt was a very big player for us and yes was highly involved in helping maintain our L1/prem status and he will always be a hero to saints fans, but that does not mean that he is always right. the reason that fans are sniping at matt is because our club is being dragged through the mud in and by the media because of stories like this. nc does make decisions which get huge press attention, we just dont need the extra attention that this story brings.

I know that Adkins was surprised to be sacked.
I know that his replacement had been briefed that he had the job some considerable time before, which is why he was spending time watching the team in action.
I know that Adkins is, at present, out of work.
If you think that Cortese told Adkins that his job was on the line, and that he should be sending out invitations for his farewell party, I am afraid that I just don't buy into it.
I was responding to another article, which means that what I wrote was news, because I had not written it before.
I hope that you can get over that.

Matt: ‘How many times do I have to try to tell you that I'm sorry for the things I've done.
But when I start to try to tell you that's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun.
I tell myself too many times why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut.
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words that keep on falling from your mouth.
Tell me ... why …”

i have met mlt many times though not for a few years, i met many of the players around the time that matt played for saints including dodd, claus, tessem and gary monk and i never `fawned` over any of them, i treated them with respect. i would not say that i `knew` any of them, however i once said to matt that he should keep hs mouth shut on the pitch as it cost him and the team, he accepted what i said but said that he cant help it when hes playing. thing is he can stop and think about it now, he can take a step back before going to the press or twttier. if a spoke to matt again i would say that to him and hope that he would accept it again.
the worst player i ever spoke to was Ian Turner, this was only 8 or so years ago, i went up to him and said how i was a saints fans and was pleased to meet an fa cup hero, he repplied "well i`m a Middlesbrough fan so i dont care" nice!

However he now plies his trade as a football pundit and I guess there is nothing wrong with that. As far as the current management at saints are concerned – MLT is an ex-employee who has rightly or wrongly strong opinions with regard to how SFC is run. He is a simply a pundit with his own agenda – I am surprised NC et al do not just treat him as such.

Ask yourself a simple question that even a d!ckhead like you can answer:
Why would I have posted 'Did someone speak?' - which was clearly aimed at your post - if I had also wanted your post removed? Surely you can see that doing so would then make my post appear unrelated to anything above it and thus make it look rather dumb?

Fantastic player Matt, fantastic loyalty but if you love the club and the fans, why keep embarrassing yourself and us on twitter and the media.
There are a whole generation of Saints fans coming through who only see you as ancient history mate. All they are seeing is someone they never saw play, running down the person that basically saved our club. They think to the future, the next game not the past. Can you imagine how you are coming across to them? They won't judge you on a decade ago as we do, but on her and now and it does not look cool.
Well done Scunthorpe, nice to see NA's old club get a deserved result tonight and out of the relegation place I believe.

Oh, btw, Horse, you mentioned the legend that is Ian Turner earlier. I met him once when I served him at my then workplace in Southampton.
I said, 'You are who I think you are, aren't you?'
Clearly annoyed by the question and not wanting to comment further, he simply replied, 'yes!'
There after, the entire transaction was conducted in very short sentences from me and one word answers (yes or no) from him.
Pity, I'd have loved to have praised his bravery for those early somewhat heart-stopping saves he made at Wembley that day.
I didn't ask for his autograph.

MLT thought he was going to be part of a group who bought the Saints and he was stitched up royally. That was publicly humiliating for him, but it was not Mr Cortese's or the Liebherr family's fault.
Mr Cortese may then have poured a little salt on Matt's wounds with some of his earlier remarks, but tensions were running high on all fronts at that time.
Matt lost, and he should accept that graciously. I would have thought that anyone who supported the Saints during Matt's time would have learnt to accept defeats graciously - we certainly did have a few back then!
Sure, Matt is a legend of the past, but would any of us accept his interference in the way we run our business or lives? I wouldn't, so I can see why Mr Cortese won't either.
Harmony doesn't go hand in hand with success and so I personally don't care who likes who at the club. Like any true Saints fan, though, I will always support them until the day I die.
I did when the club was being led by Ted Bates, I did through Rupert Lowe's tenure, and I do now.
The past has gone and the future hasn't turned up yet, so let's all just embrace the now for what it is and keep backing the current lads to the full.
We have to let all this bickering just die a death.

2) Just finished watching Germany hang on to beat France 2-1. The best bit was seeing Angela smirking to Francois as they hugged at the final whistle. I bet she was thinking, 'this won't be the last time my country screws your country, Frannie boy.'

It's quite likely that Cortese would have filled MLT in on plans for the club going forward and could well have divulged confidential info that he didn't want falling into the hands of other clubs. Hence Cortese required complete confidentiality.
Instead MLT proved that he simply cannot be trusted with confidential information!
It's not so long ago that MLT allegedly admitted to being involved in a betting scam.
Cortese was RIGHT to cancel the meeting under the circumstances.
MLT was a great footballer, but off the pitch he appears to be a bit of a shady character and has become a bit of a joke, in my opinion.
It's time for fans to get behind Cortese; he knows what he is doing.
Fans should stop harking back to past glories and should instead looking forward to future ones. We're on the cusp of something huge...give it a couple of years, mark my words!

I have to agree with Mr Cortese, if it was agreed to have a meeting in private , it is just a pity that it has got to the "ECHO"
Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!

Cortese is right, Matt has been blubbering on twitter for ages on and off. basically undermining the club with all this nonsense. Personal issues with the club should be dealt with privately, if you really love the club you played for.Not blasted around everywhere.
Fantastic player Matt, fantastic loyalty but if you love the club and the fans, why keep embarrassing yourself and us on twitter and the media.
There are a whole generation of Saints fans coming through who only see you as ancient history mate. All they are seeing is someone they never saw play, running down the person that basically saved our club. They think to the future, the next game not the past. Can you imagine how you are coming across to them? They won't judge you on a decade ago as we do, but on her and now and it does not look cool.
Well done Scunthorpe, nice to see NA's old club get a deserved result tonight and out of the relegation place I believe.

I like NC's style. He seems reserved, measured, not given to hysteria, and utterly decent. In fact, he seems to show all the qualities of an English gentleman. It's a pity they don't seem to make them like that here anymore. That, and decent cars.
All of the media shared the same thought didn't they?
You only know what you have been told by the media and come to a conclusion. When you KNOW, make a judgement then
STID
I know that Adkins was surprised to be sacked.
I know that his replacement had been briefed that he had the job some considerable time before, which is why he was spending time watching the team in action.
I know that Adkins is, at present, out of work.
If you think that Cortese told Adkins that his job was on the line, and that he should be sending out invitations for his farewell party, I am afraid that I just don't buy into it.
I was responding to another article, which means that what I wrote was news, because I had not written it before.
I hope that you can get over that.

Right now the resurgent Southampton Football Club is the main source of joy for thousands of people and they're going to back the man who has worked insanely hard to achieve that ahead of a player (however brilliant) who served them in the past.

It does no good for the Club whatsoever. He needs to pipe down imo.The big difference is that he voices his opinion under his own name, where we use a 'nom de plume.' I have not the slightest doubt that all of Matt's critics on here, would be fawning all over him, telling him what a wonderful fellah he is, and how they agree with him, if they were to meet him in the street.
i have met mlt many times though not for a few years, i met many of the players around the time that matt played for saints including dodd, claus, tessem and gary monk and i never `fawned` over any of them, i treated them with respect. i would not say that i `knew` any of them, however i once said to matt that he should keep hs mouth shut on the pitch as it cost him and the team, he accepted what i said but said that he cant help it when hes playing. thing is he can stop and think about it now, he can take a step back before going to the press or twttier. if a spoke to matt again i would say that to him and hope that he would accept it again.
the worst player i ever spoke to was Ian Turner, this was only 8 or so years ago, i went up to him and said how i was a saints fans and was pleased to meet an fa cup hero, he repplied "well i`m a Middlesbrough fan so i dont care" nice!
Some may say that your approach to Ian Turner could be described as fawning.

what i can tell you (as there is lots that i wont) is that the players are not adverse to a bit of `spin and gossip` and often `smear` other players. they also cover for each other and lie. you can read matts book for any of that by the way! what i am saying is you are accusing NC of a `smear` campaign against MLT yet MLT is the one doing the talking. i have a lot of time and respect for matt but i also know enough of what he is capable off to know that there are two sides to this.
oh and if you bothered to read most posts on here you would see that saints fans are not, would not and wouldnt allow our history to be erased! what we dont do though is cling onto every piece of history as if its the most precious item in the world (like poopey fans). we are proud of our history and our ex-players but we also know that we are in the present and looking to the future. matt is not the future of saints. i like many would like matt to be part of our journey and would rather he found a way to keep quiet, if only whilst NC is in charge.
dont treat all fans who dont agree with you as stupid and gullible, we were not that stupid and gullible when you kept on about gastons injury were we?

I have to agree with Mr Cortese, if it was agreed to have a meeting in private , it is just a pity that it has got to the "ECHO"
Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!
I never buy the !Echo" on a Saturday as the game has changed so much since 1976, you can not continue to live on past achievements ! This is recogniised by Nicola!

Baddesley Bill wrote: Matt is a legend...(unike most of us here), but he is a fan (just like us here) and welcome to his opinion (just like us here). I just don't like the fact that he uses his media profile to voice his opinions...he appears to be trying to undermine our CEO using his high profile just because of some personal gripe. It does no good for the Club whatsoever. He needs to pipe down imo.The big difference is that he voices his opinion under his own name, where we use a 'nom de plume.' I have not the slightest doubt that all of Matt's critics on here, would be fawning all over him, telling him what a wonderful fellah he is, and how they agree with him, if they were to meet him in the street.
i have met mlt many times though not for a few years, i met many of the players around the time that matt played for saints including dodd, claus, tessem and gary monk and i never `fawned` over any of them, i treated them with respect. i would not say that i `knew` any of them, however i once said to matt that he should keep hs mouth shut on the pitch as it cost him and the team, he accepted what i said but said that he cant help it when hes playing. thing is he can stop and think about it now, he can take a step back before going to the press or twttier. if a spoke to matt again i would say that to him and hope that he would accept it again.
the worst player i ever spoke to was Ian Turner, this was only 8 or so years ago, i went up to him and said how i was a saints fans and was pleased to meet an fa cup hero, he repplied "well i`m a Middlesbrough fan so i dont care" nice!
Some may say that your approach to Ian Turner could be described as fawning.
I guess you would not make the same mistake again.

what i can tell you (as there is lots that i wont) is that the players are not adverse to a bit of `spin and gossip` and often `smear` other players. they also cover for each other and lie. you can read matts book for any of that by the way! what i am saying is you are accusing NC of a `smear` campaign against MLT yet MLT is the one doing the talking. i have a lot of time and respect for matt but i also know enough of what he is capable off to know that there are two sides to this.
oh and if you bothered to read most posts on here you would see that saints fans are not, would not and wouldnt allow our history to be erased! what we dont do though is cling onto every piece of history as if its the most precious item in the world (like poopey fans). we are proud of our history and our ex-players but we also know that we are in the present and looking to the future. matt is not the future of saints. i like many would like matt to be part of our journey and would rather he found a way to keep quiet, if only whilst NC is in charge.
dont treat all fans who dont agree with you as stupid and gullible, we were not that stupid and gullible when you kept on about gastons injury were we?

I have to agree with Mr Cortese, if it was agreed to have a meeting in private , it is just a pity that it has got to the "ECHO"
Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!
I never buy the !Echo" on a Saturday as the game has changed so much since 1976, you can not continue to live on past achievements ! This is recogniised by Nicola!

what i can tell you (as there is lots that i wont) is that the players are not adverse to a bit of `spin and gossip` and often `smear` other players. they also cover for each other and lie. you can read matts book for any of that by the way! what i am saying is you are accusing NC of a `smear` campaign against MLT yet MLT is the one doing the talking. i have a lot of time and respect for matt but i also know enough of what he is capable off to know that there are two sides to this.
oh and if you bothered to read most posts on here you would see that saints fans are not, would not and wouldnt allow our history to be erased! what we dont do though is cling onto every piece of history as if its the most precious item in the world (like poopey fans). we are proud of our history and our ex-players but we also know that we are in the present and looking to the future. matt is not the future of saints. i like many would like matt to be part of our journey and would rather he found a way to keep quiet, if only whilst NC is in charge.
dont treat all fans who dont agree with you as stupid and gullible, we were not that stupid and gullible when you kept on about gastons injury were we?
porters. Hilarious.....You are stupid and gullible if you think this cr&p is credible..... Spinning only works if idiots think the gossip is real life.... Its made Jeremy Kyle a millionaire and he did not do it without people like you....

I like NC's style. He seems reserved, measured, not given to hysteria, and utterly decent. In fact, he seems to show all the qualities of an English gentleman. It's a pity they don't seem to make them like that here anymore. That, and decent cars.
All of the media shared the same thought didn't they?
You only know what you have been told by the media and come to a conclusion. When you KNOW, make a judgement then

Any proof to the contrary??? No, thought not!

I have to agree with Mr Cortese, if it was agreed to have a meeting in private , it is just a pity that it has got to the "ECHO"
Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!

No legends welcomed, well some are and have jobs there so not true.
Like the last words of your post and they are true: without heritage there is no club but this is also true:
Without Cortese there is no club.

I met him once and he was very pleasant, however I do know people who worked for him and they say he was a bit of an @rse in the "do you know who I am" kinda way.
Regardless of people's personal thoughts, I just don't like to see him making a fool of himself in the papers every 5mins. He needs to withdraw from this.

Matt has given his all for the Club and is speaking not just for himself, but for all those who have been connected with the Club in the past and who should be very welcome at St Mary's whenever they are able to get there. Nicola Cortese has banned the Echo, who haven't helped by stirring in this case and on other occasions, but the Club ad its local paper should have a positive relationship. He showed a total lack of respect and common decency in dealing with NA's departure. Whether it was the right decision or not is irrelevant. NA had managed 2 very successful seasons and contributed to the Club returning to the Premiship.
It is time that NC g off his high horse/pedestal and started communicating. It is an essential part of any business and something that he is very poor at He only seems to want to antagonise or shut himself away. We and Matt are entitled to explanations for his actions and comments.

If you cannot back the Club and it's management, I suggest that you just walk away, because nothing you say or do is going change one single thing.

I have to agree with Mr Cortese, if it was agreed to have a meeting in private , it is just a pity that it has got to the "ECHO"
Mr Cortese has made it quite plain that he does not welcome comment from those connected with the Club in the past even it is from ex managers or players Just a pity that the "Echo" continues to stir things up at every opportunity!
I never buy the !Echo" on a Saturday as the game has changed so much since 1976, you can not continue to live on past achievements ! This is recogniised by Nicola!
wake up.
There should not be any issue with fans or especially someone of Matt's standing in the history of the Club asking justifiable questions and no reason why that conversation shouldn't be available for all to read.
We are back in the Premier League in a very short space of time under his guidance. He hasn't spent big to get there but made appointments to get the job done. If you think this was easy, there are many clubs that dream of accomplishing this and some never will. Your comments make it look like he was just appointed to do the job but he had a big hand in the investment in the first place. He recommended it to ML and saw it through.
If you have read anything about him, he is passionate about this club and determined to turn it into a European contender.
.As for questions, what is it exactly Matty wants to ask then? If these forums are anything to go by, NC would be in meetings all day answering ridiculous queries.
Why should a meeting with NC and MLT be available for all to read? Personally, I don't give a fcuk what is said unless it affects team performance or involves dodgy financial dealings.

Tell me the name of the single individual that has done that, you could not do that, because it has taken a lot more people than just NC to do it, but he is the king pin, without which the rest could not have functioned, prove this statement to be wrong with facts, not hysteric ramblings based on what you have read on web forums, none of which have any basis of truth and a misguided obsession with someone from the past. Don't get me wrong on Matt Le God, I still hold him with great regard for his contribution to Southampton FC. I just don't accept that his current actions are doing anything positive for the Club and he should reconsider his stance and think about how he conducts himself in the future. With him, things can only get better, without him it won't make any difference at all.

When Nicola Cortese said QUOTE 2009 :- "I realise that there are great expectations and I will ensure that every effort is expended to meet these expectations, but effectively we need to restructure and create a solid base from which we can build and become successful. This will take time. We will take our example from our supporters, who already are what we aim to become � Premier League. With their support we will again become a Premier League Club. The supporters, the City of Southampton and the region deserve nothing less. Everyone at the Club will be fully committed to responding to this great challenge."
He was talking about us, so far he has kept his word, some of our fans have lowered themselves to a lot lower level of support.

I think more "tested". I suspect that NC gave plenty of rope in terms of time for MLT to show that he would keep the matter private. Rather predictably, given his penchant for talking via the media, MLT put his head in the noose.

Read what MLT has to say above and then be surprised that NC cancelled the 'PRIVATE' meeting ?????
It has nothing to do with us , Le God WAS exactly that and should be remembered for what he did on a football pitch ..........
NC has organised a team , club and players that has turned this Football club on it's head and maybe one day he will get fed up with the fans and walk away with a hefty profit and sell us to a Russian Chicken Farm .......
Then his detractors will get what they want , no passion and no club !

He could HAVE gone elsewhere, but there is little guarantee that his genuis would have outridden his faults at another club. You say that NC treated NA badly, but like everyone else, you cannot put any meat in the sandwich, there are no facts to go on. It is amazing that despite all attempts to find out how Nigel felt, or how badly treated you may think he was, not an iota of information has come from anyone, inside or outside of the Club. You can keep your opinion if it gives you some form of comfort, it may even have an element of truth, but until I see definite proof I am reserving my judgement and will continue to concentrate on our Clubs future and how I can support the Club, rather than keep looking back a past events which can have no effect on the outcome any more.
Matty was Saints greatest ever player he deserves to be treated with more respect. He stayed loyal to us when he could of joined bigger clubs, so for SFC fans to turn on him sickens me. He's been played by Cortese who treated Adkins so badly.

frankly MLT has been detracting from the way this club has been run from the start. he has said alot of things against NC and I wonder now if he is not just part of the history of this club and nothing more.
In his playing days he had my full respect. these days I'm afraid I really don't respect him much at all. He was saying he wanted a meeting, he was offered a meeting in private and it was immediately reported in the media.
you had a great chance to sort out whatever problem it was you had with NC Matt and you blew it. big time.
This is so disappointing to see.

I'm just giving my opinion. Matty hasn't helped himself in all this but he loves the club so I can't see him hurting the reputation of the club to settle old scores.

Really really poor from Matt.
He asked for the talks, the club agreed on the basis that it was private and then the story got out.
the Club, quite rightly, cancelled the talks as they felt an agreement had been breached and now MLT says stupid things on twitter about it.
Matt - you are a wonderful part of Saints history. but you do not run the club. you have no say in running the club. You can voice your opinion, but as far as I'm concerned you have just consigned yourself to history.
you are irrelevant to Saints now. If you ever wanted a chance to use your influence on the club, you just blew it.

Credit should always be recognised when it's due and his part was the initial recommendation to the investor, Mr Liebherr, to take our club on in its hour of need. He is the front man, the one who acts like the money man yet has invested nothing other than the time it took to persuade others to part with their money at the start. The rest of his commitment from that point is underwritten by the huge annual salary he takes out as an employee that no one mentions. Not bad position eh. All the power, no Board to answer to and as much 'my way' or 'no way' attitude as we go. This is epitomised by his club car, the Aston Martin, parked out the front next to Ted's statue, a real legend btw, in between match days whilst any other club employees have to pay for the privilege parking in a huge empty car park to go to work, nice! Perhaps he's saving the space for his own statue for him to look at out of the window in admiration! In conclusion, all this breech of trust, distane to legends who genuinely support the club is a vail of nonsense, an excuse and is all really just a threat to his power as no one dares disagree with the special one. A Dictators way, nothing else. What a shame he doesn't embrace the spirit of loyalty and dismisses heritage and values so easily. Why not, only room for one ego here. Mind the gap....
