Agree a non story. He went into a members only bar and was asked to leave by a member of staff. How many people have played for SFC over the years. This is an blatant case of mudslinging.

where were all these ex players when Lowe was dragging this club nearly to oblivion. A cynic would say they were too busy enjoying all the free hospitality that he dished out to them in return for their unquestionning support of his regime.

There are certain players that I wouldn't let loose anywhere near the ground! However there should be a bit of respect for good club servants. Much as I like Jim Steele it is not good form to go down this track, and not helpful for the future which is more important than the past at the moment. The Cortese interview simply didn't ask the right questions, I haven't seen the Sun version yet. NC was asking us to go along with his plans, OK but please try and meet us halfway so that we can do it together. The best way to go is to engage with the people that are using their scarce funds to follow the Club that they support. Informative news will stop the speculation. On a final note, a word of thanks to Nigel Adkins would help closure.

He will probably have to tread on a few toes and make decisions that will not please everyone.

Good point.

Now visit all the other local newspapers who also have to sell newspapers and achieve hits and find one that is negative about it's local team. Funnily enough they sell theirs by being uber positive about their teams.

They are all welcome providing they buy a ticket, and if they want to drink in the Dell Cafe become a member.

Same for everybody.

It would be interesting to know if Franny really is banned, or if it is self imposed exile.

Obviously it's more important for the club to be a success, but no bu99er likes him at all! Can all these people be wrong?
He has done an interview with sky defending his decision to sack Adkins, who IMO made mistakes tactically not just this season but last season too. Just strange he didn't give him until the end of this or at a time when/if he lost the changing room. Also funny he talks to the media but frowns on manager and players doing so. I just hope and pray we haven't got another Lowe!

d) Still no thanks to Adkins which is disrepectful.

He has asked Saints to arrange sit down talks with the chairman to discuss differences.

Again, think it through before you post cr@p, slating the guy who saved SFC. Besides as much as we love NA, having been given the team and resources he had been given, would anyone else have done a worse job?

I have supported the club for close to 40 years now so can remember a lot of the chairman and directors of the past. Compared to Nicola Cortese these people are not fit to run a newsagents, let alone a football club. With the Dark Lord in the chair I remember seeing his face all over sky sports news, most weeks, there was even rumours circulating that he picked one of wobbly wiggley's teams!! Now we have a chairman that stays in the boardroom, backs his managers with a budget that amounts to a top 6 club, leaves him to be the customer facing spokesman and to pick his own teams! Stop the moaning and support the club and back the man that will not let the club fail!!!! If the chairman doesn't see the club where it should be at that moment or the vision could be damaged he has every right to change his man. Lawrie, Jim, Matt, you are legends of our past and will always be remembered. Now it's time for, Luke Shaw, Ward Prowse, Lallana legends of the future and Nicola Cortese will make it so!

There's often Echo knocking on here and I haven't been one to join it - until now. The Pink was largely negative this weekend too - still going on in spades about Nigel and complaining that supporters are now being treated as mere customers and that increasingly the club is being run, God forbid, "as a business." Of course it's easy to whip up sentiment using this stuff and the article about Jim Steele. Nicola is hardly no 'charmer' and our relationship with the club is more emotional than financial. But we know only too well what happens to clubs nowadays which are not run well as businesses. And many fans who want to be seen as 'supporters' when things are going well, soon revert to being complaining 'customers' when they are going badly. Success today only comes with financial clout and that only comes by running clubs in a sound way - or through a purchase by a billionaire sugar daddy who will use it, for a very uncertain period, as a personal toy. I don't believe that Nicola's only motive is financial. I think he has a mission to create a successful long term future for the club - a mission which he planted in Markus Leibherr's mind and which he then shared with him. Markus did not buy a business. He didn't need to or want to. He bought a dream. Only time will tell whether or not Nicola will succeed, but so far, three managers and three divisions later, I'm essentially a happy supporter AND a satisfied customer. The club could and should, however, improve its' PR and communications on sensitive issues - at no extra cost at all. The Echo might also consider how far it wants to take the obvious rift with the club and whether or not it is becoming seriously adrift from the views held by the majority of its' Saints supporting readers. Meanwhile, even if the somewhat hysterical critics are right, I'd still rather have a club with no soul than a soul with no club (as we may soon see down the M27).

I do have some sympathy for the legends of our great club but the owners and their team have alot of money and time invested in the club and are ultimately responsible for its future, like someone said above NC probably knew nothing of this, and I am quite sure that he doesn't read the echo. The recent interview shows that although NC maybe the hard-nosed tryant he is made out to be, he will address issues that are put to him, when the time comes and through the channels that he chooses. The perfect scenario would be if this group of SFC legends meet with the chairman and voiced their views, I'm sure then the air can be cleared, in the end the chairman and legends have the same goal, the ultimate success of the club. I do believe that this in the future will be resolved and the boys can come to some agreement with NC for the sake of the club and the supporters, obviously we do recognise and apprecaite all the great players that have written the history of SFC, but we also want to support the new regime in its vision to take the club forward...!
