What did we do?

Well said. Prepare to be lambasted for talking sense.

What a boring pr1ck you have become.

Isn't this Cortese's job? Turkish should know.

Don't worry, Turdish will be here soon.

Yes, a tedious one trick pony that's well past it's sell-by date.

Yep, Cortese got his selection better today. T u r d.

Cork back and Ramirez too made a big difference. Is it Cortese's fault they've been out for so many games?

Or you just talking total horse sh1te again more like.

Shut up! We want wrist-slitting, bed wetting and scapegoat finding on here, not logic and a reasoned perspective FFS.

He wouldn't say. But according to the usual arse wipes on here it's all total lies, rubbish and made up stuff anyway. T@ssers.

A current international, not playing in the UK; the member of the scouting network who divulged this said he wouldn't give his name as he would get in trouble.

Total cr@p. We also had a bid of more than the Ramirez amount accepted by a club for their CB only for them to pull out at the last minute.

Oh the sweet irony - you're all agenda ridden mugs says the bloke singing songs about Cortese. Priceless.

Spot on. This was all it was and probably said in resposne to their "Adkins - I don't know how long I've got" article. But hey, let's make a big song and dance out of nothing as usual.

He'll probably come on loan then till the end of the season to keep options open for all parties.

No no no!!! Something has to be going on; it simply has to be!!! Cortese must be picking the team, he simply has to be and dictating formations to the manager as well FACT, he'll be playing soon...at the same time as selling the club and stopping work on the training ground and designing horrible kits for us for the next 6 years and getting us into massive unsustainable debt. He must be so busy at the moment with all this meddling. We are struggling because our defence is crap and we failed to strengthen sufficiently in the summer - no more no less. We all hate the fact that we're losing for the first time in almost 3 years but why do people always look for things that aren't there?

Not trying to exempt Cortese from criticism at all - for example, he/we beleived we had signed a current international CB in the summer for a fee in excess of the Ramirez money (this comes first hand from a member of the coaching team). At the last minute his club pulled out - we didn't have a back-up plan in place - that was Cortese's fault, no one elses. However, to say that all our current problems are down to Cortese starting to meddle with team affairs is just wrong and has no basis in truth. We're all concerned about how we're doing at the moment but it's no more complicated than we messed up our defensive signings in the summer and are now paying the penalty. A back 4 of Clyne, Yoshida, international CB that pulled out at the last minute and Butner (we thought we had him too) is a huge step up from what we're turning out now. Jack Cork back in the middle with Ramirez would have made a massive difference. That's all I can post today - not having a go at you, I just think it's much simpler than many people are trying to make out.

The reality is our defence is crap because we didn't strengthen it sufficiently in the summer - they aren't up to the task; out of their depth - this much is clear. It really is that simple; no conspiracy theories, no interfering, no plots to get HR in etc. We can debate how we got into this mess, but claims of Cortese picking the team etc are unfounded and unproven. All this garbage only comes out when things aren't going well. Why has Cortese suddenly started doing a Lowe (allegedly) and meddling with the team now we are in the Prem - no one can answer that and prove that he is with any facts.

Was Cortese interfering during the last 2 seasons when we were doing really well or has he just started now we're in the prem? No, he is doing what he has always done which is to let Adkins manage. Although it doesn't suit many people's agendas, I doubt that Cortese/Adkins are operating any differently than they have done since Adkins joined; you know, the period when we got back-to-back promotions. The only difference is the quality of opposition and our inability to sign the defenders we wanted in the summer.

Yes ..... in the CCC Come January, NO Quality player will want to come to a team rooted at the bottom of the Prem ( But I expect Cortese thinks players will be queing up to come here ) You hated Lowe and you hate Cortese. Is it Mike Wilde you yearn for as Chairman?

Total crap. I know from one of the coaching staff that we tried to sign 2 CBs. A fee in excess of the Ramirez one was agreed for one who is a current international but his club pulled out at the last minute leaving us in the poo. He is meant to be joining in Jan. The other club refused us permission to talk but the player made it clear he wanted to come. To say that NA wasn't allowed to sign any CBs is just not true but probably fits with your conspiracy theories eh?

Does it, really?

Out of this world!!
