It feels like Cortese is spot on, why should the club pander to 'historical' individuals given that none of them came out of the woodwork to rescue the club? Matt's autobiography made it sound like (and this is backed up by previous managers) that his status at the club made him untouchable, and that he was a proper positional headache for anyone post Alan Ball. I love the guy, but he's only an individual player, whereas Cortese's job is to look after Marcus's investment and the club as a whole going into the (please) long-term, not continue to perpetuate the 'le god' mythology/bad 'old-skool/chummy' practice. We're on the up, and long may it continue - we're run by a business man now, for better or worse.
