Matthew Le Tissier hits out at claims about Alan Pardew's departure (From Daily Echo)

I honestly can't believe how backwards you muppets are. The echo has been reporting that AP faced the sack and you lot all said it was Lies, lies, lies - and look what happened!
The most disgusting thing is that NC is now tarnishing AP's name and spreading rumours that ML wanted him sacked last year... You did realize this is all being touted around by NC and the club's press officer.
Please people for once start thinking for yourselves.

Gone are the days when we would lose good managers (such as Strachan) as they were not allowed to spend on the team. and it was a way of a chairman trying to show the blame of poor play to be the fault of managers not a Chairman who was trying to squeeze as many pennies out of the club as possible.
I think that N.C has done the right thing at the right time, and may have even carried out on of M.L`s last wishes, as a mark of respect for the great man. Whoever comes in toi replace A.P will be a manager with drive, determination and a wealth of experience in football managment. And can we please not forget that although M.L was the man who paid for our club, N.C was the man who convinced him to inject the cash needed to not only save our club, but to bring it up to be one of the most envied in modern footbal, with cash not just being spent on players, but the whole infrastructure, to enable us to be a viable business, not just a rich mans play toy. A.P has gone, but not for no reason and we may never know the reasons, but we should all know that our club will be as good or better with whoever Mr Cortese gets in.
Up the saints!!

One issue to emphasise my point is the OS Injury and Suspension thread which still has not been populated with any information on injuries, is Mo Gimpel so busy that he cannot keep us up to speed on the progress of the injured members of the squad, particularly Lala, but Frazer, and couple others seen hobbling on crutches during the pre-season friendlies, how are they progressing, and is Murty still receiving help, plenty there to whet our appetite.

Mo is out looking for a job, Frazer had to give his crutches back and is house bound NC has a pay rise and is in line to be the next manager, tongue in cheek I know but watch this space

If everything goes wrong, we loose players, we play kids, we get demoted etc.. then we can complain we always have in the past! but if we win games, get promoted & win trophies then we will not care! We are football fans thats what we want for this club, I do not care who the manager is, who has upset who or what someone reckons because of rumours! Just win games, play good football & make us all proud to be saints fans. NC is in charge for now, lets trust him until he proves otherwise. I just wish him luck, patenice & above all success for ALL of us.

I didn't comment on any of this yesterday as I was a bit confused by it all, but it wouldn't surprise me if there are factors other than the performance of the first team behind it. Certainly, I've heard reports that there were specific 'non-football' reasons for AP's departure from West Ham. Nicola will never reveal the reasons and I expect Pards is bound by a confidentiality agreement, so neither will he.

But I can't feel too bad about it as I imagine Pards has got the best part of a million quid's worth of compensation and our squad is now so strong I think my two-year-old daughter (who is currently jumping up and down and shouting 'I like goo-goo') could manage us to the title, so everyone will be ok. (She's available for the job btw, if you're reading this Nicola.)

Chins up, everyone.

Well hello again.
If you read on the' AP Sacked 'thread to update yourself you would have found a charming letter there posted by me to you and your pal NC is god.
I seem to see about 3 inches above this type a letter that you kindly reproduced so I am about. Perhaps you would like more.?
Have you considered that NC has (in my opinion) most likely just squandered more than £1million of the clubs money on paying off 3 coaches.?
Have you also considered that (it appears) 8 out of 10 fans disagree with the sacking of AP. What if they mount an anti NC protest tonight.? What if they don't even turn up again.?
What happens when the next manager turns into a turnip (in your eyes).?Finally, will you be able to find the heart to cheer on AP's players tonight.? You WILL be at the match I imagine.

Excellent, I'll gladly give you some answers. Being so far away of course must be hard for you to keep up.

The coaches were sacked so of course there is going to be some compensation heading their way. When clear it's the right decision we will all think £1million was a bargain to bring back attractive successful football.

The 8 out of 10 fans you talk about may only be from this internet forum, where a lot of fans are over seas supporters, have you considered that the people who hated Pardew still went to support the team and chairman? And what do you mean 'What if they don't turn up again?' Who are you talking about?

I trust that Nicola will make the right decisions for our club so the next manager WILL be better than Alan Pardew.

Finally, I always cheer on Saints no matter what and you and everyother fan will do the same. I WILL be there. Will YOU??

I will be there tonight but if Hart is in charge I will boycott St Mary's and I do not trust NC. Pardew had no connection with the fish fiddlers. On the question of compensation shame it wasn't spent to strengthen the team
