I hope you are right, based on those criteria.

Oh - we have met before after all

Yes

No chance - you'll be over it by then.

We would never all get in the dug-out - its a non-starter I'm afraid.

I'd have preferred an exciting new start after we had 40 points on the board. I quite like the sound of the guy and his reputation, but the timing is bloody awful (putting aside the shabby treatment of Adkins for a moment).

Oops!! Now you have enhanced your "skate" image

Lots of people claiming Cortese has made us a laughing stock, but he gets plenty of help from the people on the phone-ins

He has explained already in the OS statement. Do you really think he would have said anything else? What would you have liked him to say that would have satisfied you?

Yeah right!

If you think about it, his start to the season with Espanyol was very similar to our start under Adkins. The difference is that MP got sacked (or left by mutual consent) and Adkins didn't. They picked up, just the same as we have.

Ahh, who has been listening to the Radio Solent phone-in then? I almost did the same thing, but decided it was too transparent and settled for a little post on another thread instead

Do you really think it would have been a good idea to turn up to the press conference and upstage the new guy? What would be the point in that? It would have turned into a jizzfest about Adkins. MP would not have needed his interpreter because he'd have had no questions to answer.

Allegedly because they were skint and sold all his best players.

It is "Di Matteo" not "De Matteo"! But you cannot be serious about him arriving at the end of the season? That would mean only one thing - that MP has been a disaster and we are back in the Championship.

"The man in the glass"

It wasn't him who sacked Adkins. HTH

Hey Joe - could you stop using that word please. Thanks mate.

Yes he probably would have been. It seems to me that it was inevitable (almost) regardless of results......and sort your spelling out!

We need a result from this game. ANYTHING that jeopardises that must be avoided at all costs. Protests can be done before and/or afterwards - not during the game. We don't want a "Stamford Bridge"-like atmosphere.

Poch-e-teeno

Don't be ridiculous!

Agree with the OP 100%

I suppose you always said "Atkins" as well?
