Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese has cancelled talks aimed at easing tensions with Matthew Le Tissier after the retired club hero continued to criticise his reign.
.
Saints fans were aghast at Cortese's decision to sack manager Nigel Adkins last month after two successive promotions and a steady showing in the Premier League with his last match a gallant 2-2 draw at Chelsea.
.
Cortese drafted in former Espanyol manager Mauricio Pochettino despite the Argentine not speaking English and the south coast club lie 16th after two draws and a defeat.
.
Former England stricker Le Tissier, who spent his whole career at Southamton, wrote on Twitter: '' Meeting with our wonderful exec chairman been cancelled #surprisesurprise #somethingtohidenicola ''.
