Saints confirm backroom staff (From Daily Echo)

• "As a Saints supporter for 50+ years (although through distance and finance now an armchair one), I thought I'd add my pennyworth to the combination of good sense, thoughtful responses and in many cases utter drivel that has cascaded down these posts in the last few days.
  
  Totally agree with Egomaniac - this is no longer the Ted Bates and Tery Paine era and its no good bleating about how it used to be. Saints are now a business, owned by people who have no real connection with us fans as is shown by Cortese's woeful lack of man-management skills or basic decency.
  
  However ....
  
  1. Remember where we've come from in the past 3 years and be thankful.
  
  2. Remember the players - like us - are just commodities. They're paid fantastic sums to give 100% however they're treated and whoever is put over them.
  
  3. Be thankful we have management who do actually have a distinct plan (project), with the aim of Saints becoming an established and hopefully successful Premiership club. However much we may dislike the way it is carried out at times the job of all true fans must surely be to do everything they can to bring out the best in those wearing the Saints strip, home or away. We're not able to effect any other change but that is surely our prime responsibility.
  
  So, win or lose tonight, give the new bloke a chance. By all means show a heartfelt farewell to NA but above all support the team and what those above them are trying to achieve. I'd rather be supporting a club which has direction and purpose than one drifting about in a sea of mediocrity and forever flirting with relegation!"
