    Looks like he took the role seriously and cracked out the Ferrero Roche things.

    Official ambassador, I guess prior to now he was an unofficial ambassador.

    That's good but he isn't going to help us stave off relegation this time.

    We have far bigger issues, both immediately on the pitch and in terms of the club's general governance.

    (I appreciate that some things are more important and having MLT involved is a plus point, but ultimately this is just PR and Matt earning a few quid - not that I begrudge him it at all!)

    Good move by the club and an honour for Matty. Unpaid role apart for free hamburgers.

    DTLW you still not happy with the behind the scenes at the club? You hearing anything we’re not? It’s gone quiet on the DoF front. Not talking about the obvious on the pitch issues.

    Glad to hear it. Does anyone know why he was so utterly out of favour in the Cortese days?

    "We are working on pledges that should be coming out in the first quarter of this year that will come directly from Mr Gao and the leadership, so you can look forward to that being the first clear statements of strategy coming from them.

    "They are evolving at the moment. I believe we are at five pledges and the terminology is already on my desk and we will probably get them out after my meetings in February."

    Must still be busy evolving those pledges... I eagerly await 'the first clear statement of strategy' directly from 'Mr Gao and the leadership'. :emoticon-0138-think

    Hopefully number one will be that “We will spend money on quality players to support our manager to keep us in the EPL” Just not holding my breath

    I thought he already was. Anyhow its a good thing - he is still the name taxi drivers in foreign lands say when you mention Southampton

    In fairness they would be criticised if they released anything over the past year because of how we have been on the pitch. Lack of communication from the owners is a small part of the problem. For now i think, or at least hope, everyone is focussed solely on surviving this season.

    He's always been an ambassador for our club, title or no title.
    Where we are now, is largely thanks to him. I really do believe that.

    MLT basically expected free tickets etc because of his service to saints and NC being the businessman he is told him he had to pay like everyone else. MLT got the hump and basically went crying to his Soccer Saturday chums for support.

    They both headed a consortium to take over & save our club. One had the backing of the nicest billionaire the world has ever seen, the other lived rent free with his mum.
    But its water under the bridge now.
