Cortese is a nasty piece of work. he regularly reduces employees to tears, and not approachable at all.

 

Lol. I love him. He is our saviour and when I spoke to him he was extremely approachable and friendly and enthusiastic about helping with my request. I'll use my own experience thanks rather than listening to rumour on this messageboard.

In the absence of facts, I am just going to proceed along the lines that if this is true, NC must have had good reason (as with the Echo story).

 

That's an intelligent assumption to make (for once :) )

Loved Franny as a player (not in a gay girlie way mind you) so if he was i would be sad, i always thought he had something to do with the community side so hopefully it isn't as it may appear. We still need the links to the old players thats what the fans like more than anything else, as long as he buys his ticket im sure hes welcome!!!

Apparently all to do with Cortese agreeing to rent Benali's (very luxurious) house at Chilworth. Benali moved out then Cortese reneged on the agreement much to Benali's annoyance.

Frannie, quite rightly got the hump, and decided to withdraw his patronage and company use of office space at St Marys

 

Real shame as we need new owners the Echo and club stalwarts etc to get on as the club moves forward

Sure you've not mixed him up with Andy Oldknow ?

 

no i'm not. a club employee told me.

 

oldknow was also a pretty dirty chap. after a meeting with cortese, he abruptly cleared his desk, gone in a second with little explanation.

 

frankly i'm not surprised about cortese, he's probably got where he has so quickly by being ruthless.

This is what I heard, but it does not make sense. If Cortese had an agreement to rent / buy Benali's house then he would be liable in some manner? So I can only assume there was no agreement and they were just considering it? Nothing different here to what you see with a high proportion of any such property negotiations. Must be something more as this just makes Benali look stupid!

I know he is not particularly liked by staff at his hotel.

Sounds like a good man to have at the helm then. Far far too many employees seem to think companies should be run in a manner which falls half way between a greek democracy and a vicars tea party.;)

Apparently, Cortese is a tyrant who makes the dreaded Andy Oldknow look like Mother Teresa, and that's shown by the number of departures from the club, including Oldknow himself, who was sacked by Cortese.

 

Appears a man who is not going to be derailed from his course.

SFC has been run like an amateurish boys club for years, despite having had a mouthy chairman. IF NC is cutting through all that whilst delivering results, I have no problem with that.

Not sure Liebherr would trust him with the running of the club if he really was that much of a tw*t.

 

And, you don't become that successful in the cut throat capitalist world of international banking without being a bit of ******...

Thats hit the nail on the head. NC / ML havent got where they are now by being easy walk overs. My main problem with this and it is not just NC it is most people in their positions they become mercenary like. I personally have had dealings with CEOs from companies like Cisco and Texas Instruments although very nice in the press etc etc you cross them you now it! They no morals when it comes to business and in most cases will always win the battle. They are not scared of anyone. An example of this is when a CEO from one of the above companies was working in our office and he wanted to know why we were not getting the full 512k broadband speed we were paying for and why it was was contended. I explained and next thing I know he had rung up the Chairman of BT to discuss the issue!

Perhaps we have been left with employees who don't meet the standards we need, or don't have the attitude we need, yet still think they can act in the same way they did with RL around?

 

But now we have a serious and professional attitude at the top, the expectation is others below should follow suit.

 

I've seen this myself... a new man comes in and people leave as they don't get on with the new style of leadership. It says more about the people leaving than it does the people in charge. Given the recent and obvious improvement in pretty much every aspect of SFC, I'm willing to bet we have the right person leading us :)

Absolutely. I just hope some other business opportunity doesnt turn his head..

With regards to NC I can back that up. One of my mates works at a hotel where he regularly goes for a meal, and he's been known to flare up and go nuts at the staff if something goes wrong. Most recently this was because his favourite table was taken and the staff weren't prepared to tell the people that were already on the table to clear off, at which point he promptly stormed out.

 

*Disclaimer: This is NOT fact! Just what i've been told. (Please don't hurt me Nicola)

Who cleared his desk? Oldknow? Why does that make him a dirty chap?

The club will be run properly as a business, but as long as we fans are treated with respect by the hierachy[as we are], what is the problem?

AP can work with NC and ML, and that is the most important thing.

Pretty embarassing if your boss can make you cry at work.

 

Some people need to grow a back bone.

 

 

I mean your average employee wouldn't have anything much to do with Cortese anyway. Doubt if he makes the tea and hands out the biccys really.Must be a fairly senior person.
