Le Tissier: "Cortese is not a nice human being"


Saint-Armstrong

Recommended Posts

I'm not afraid to stand up and admit that I've stuck up for Cortese, because he's always got results for us - and he was the one in control of this football at the time.

 

This decision has made me fuming though, it just makes no sense what so ever. I tell you what, this new fella really needs to hit the ground running, because if he doesn't and we end up being dragged right back into the mire then he can get roundly booed as far as I'm concerned.

 

Yep because its his fault? Like you said, NCs decsions have worked out so far, yet as is fecking typical in this country we like nothing more than to forget the good things and focus on the mistakes (before they have even been proven as mistakes)... brilliant

I could see reasoning behind some of the other calls, but this is just brain-dead stupid. There was nothing wrong.

i've praised cortese when he's done things well and spoken out against him when he's done things badly. A lot of fans have stuck their fingers in their ears at things going on off the pitch because by and large, on it we've been a success. However, now the man who has brought him that success has been disposed of in a cruel and cowardly way. Cortese then doesnt even have the balls to meet the press and explain his decision to a furious fan base and a stunned media.

 

Cortese has been treating staff like this behind the scenes for 3 years. As MLT said on sky earier, the rest of the staff know what he's like so they better just get on with their jobs or they'll be next. When i've mentioned this in the past i've been told it didn't matter, that they must all be crap, that they aren't up to the job. do people feel this way about Adkins? Or has he quite simply been stitched up and cruely disposed of just like some of the others?

 

When people were celebrating Adkins saying he had a great relationship with the chairman a few months back and i said he was clearly not telling the truth, what else do you expect him to say? I was told i was wrong, Adkins has a great relationship with the chairman, he wouldn't lie about it.

 

So are the cortese fan club going to admit they were wrong or are they still going to carry on spinning everything, inspite of the evidence they demanded so much now being there for all to see.

Ha ha ha - you jest once again surely?

 

Oh dear Mr Cortese is not very nice ... why? because he sacked mr Adkins... oh dear, that it conclusive then... The fact that it appears to be part of a plan that evn NIgel seemed to know about (see Cov post match) just washes over some people - but hey we have a great opportunity to protest again and tell everyone what we think of the Swiss Italian by using the famous white hankie protest to make us all feel good about ourselves and have a good public emote just like on reality telly... fan tastic

 

so you agree with the sacking and back the chairmans decision? You agree that the new manager knew he was getting the job weeks ago as by his own admission he's been watching and researching on the team for weeks was fair and reasonable way to treat adkins?

Come on mate, jump off the fence on this one.

 

He has shown he is a prized ****, but has got results. He's today shown that he is once again, a prize ****.

 

The jury is still out as to weather this is the right call. It needs to work straight away.

 

You mis the point Clarky - Whether Cortese is a 'nice man' or not is fricken irrelevant IMHO... And football is a crazt enough pot of loons and egos to know that nothing you hear on the rumour mill has any real baring on this. Cortese has made a decision, most fans dont like - its his job to make decisions as unpopular as they may be if he feels its the best for the club. This could be a monumental feck up or it could be a brave but great decsion, we dont know yet.

 

Some fans seem just too reliant on the club for their emotional fulfilment to be healthy - this is just another strange yet common decision in football, may work, may not, but just because Sky and teh media like nothing better to hype it all up as if its a serious calamity, dont mean we have to lose wll comon sense and join teh hand wringing public emoting drama queens out there... thsi place has become very wierd today

He is a cretin, a slithering shameful horrible person. We had a superb promising young manager who has help improve players we have, create great team spirit and made us all proud of our club for really getting to grips with the PL. he really could have been an Alex Ferguson or David Moyes type manager but has been thrown out for some unproven Argie.

Cortese may be a brilliant businesman but he has left a nasty taste in our clubs mouth. I really hate this guy. Really hate him.

Simply I dont believe Nigel was in teh dark on this, that is why I dont think its as evil a decsion as some like to make out - Nige Knew IMHO - those prophetic 'all good things have to come to an end' words after Cov suggest he knew it was the end of the road. As with Pards, fan pressure probably led to a stay, maybe show what he could do, but ultimately NC wants to follow his plan.

 

I dont know whether the 'plan' will succeed. I dont know whether this will be a blunder, a set back or a master stroke, and NOR DOES ANYONE, yet for somet strange reason most cant see the bigger picture. Does it make him a bad man? Depends on how this was communicated to NIge and when - which we do not know. But having a strategy or plan and sticking to it desspite it maybe going agianst public opinion or pressure can be equally seen as a the virtue of sticking to what you believe in... NC could be evil, its possible, but I really dont lose sleep over whether he is nice or not... he is doing his job at a football club. Cant see why that is so dramatically important to some to like the way he is doing it.

Oh do get off your friggen high horse - 'shameful' manner - you have no ecking idea how this was handled behind closed doors, but like everyone makes assumptions atht it must be shameful. I dont give a flying feck whether Cortse is a nice man or not - I will never meat him and so his personality has no baring on my life. He is employed to do what he thinks is best for the club. He has made his call - either a big mistake or a great move time will tell, that is all there is to it.

 

Nigel will have know about it, and will get pay off that will set him up for life and wont be out of work for long, nor having to starve or go without holidays - its hardly like the evil baron Cortese has suddenly made him destitute, yet the reaction on here would suggest otherwise from you self appointed holier than though 'ober fans' Jeez.... come back to reality

MOre complex than that questio - or it should be.

 

1. Was Nigel capable of ensuring we avoided relegation? Yes in IMHO he was

2. Did NIgel have the talent to be a first rate manager some day? Yes, I believ ewith experience he will become one

3. Do you think he could learn rapidly enough to keep pace with the clubs ambition? Don't know - Cortse obviously thinks not

4. Do you think NIge was aware that he would be replaced when we got to the prem? Yes, which is why he was on a downer post Cov

5. The timing is awful no? difficult, its certainly not ideal, but if replacing a manager mid season then some part of the transfer window open is probably essential

6. BUt Cortese is acting like a bastard surely, Nige has given us so much? It appears a ruthless decsion, and I like everyone am saddened at seeing Nige go. I guess the pace of change and the way football is, means that its not a shocking decision.

7. But I asked a simple question, do you agree with the decision? - answer FFS. Ok Would I have done it? NO. BUt that does not make Cortse a bad man, merly one who was prepared to make it in what he believes to be in the best the interests of the club - time will tell whether he was right to make it.

I've got no idea what that latest poorly-spelt essay had to do with my comment.

 

As far as I'm concerned the club has acted in a shameful manner by dispensing with Adkins. I don't know how it was done, I couldn't f*cking care less either. The fact is its a stupid decision, an unjustified one, and reflects extremely poorly on us as a club.

Why, because I dont conform to the 'uber fan, must be over emotional model' that the self appointed fan police insist on? Jeez, I thought it was a free country where opinions can be varied and expressed, yet it seems that in football you have to emote publically at Niges sacking, call the chairman names, act like a child and wave hankies in a spanish protest agains a Swiss Italian Chairman'... back in the real world, you accept it, and move on, get on with life most of which is far more serious and important.

Totally agree - he has made us a laughing stock -worse than Lowe. I would rather be in Div 4 with proper club, manager and chairman rather than this maniac. Give us our club back!!!

Another step on the ladder to proving he is a total ******. I've been trying to tell everyone this for a long time, however it always fell on deaf ears

Frankly, worring about whether Cortese is nice or not is not really that important - its whether his decsions no matter how rthless they appear to those without teh insider knowledge work out or not - seriously its that simple

No you didn't. You said that YOU wouldn't have made that decsion and invited us to draw a conclusion from that. It's simple. Do you agree with the chairmans decision and therefore back the chairman or do you disagree with it?

Feck me if Arguing on line were an olympic event mate you'd be in the squad at least, not necessarily a medal contender but you'd get to take part - youd have to extract Hypo form the ring pice first though as am sure there would be rules about the doubles...

 

Anyway - you hav now asked a different question - do I back the chairman's decision? Different form 'do I agree with it or not'? Subtle but important diffrence as I am merely a fan so my opinion on it makes feck all difference to the success or otherwise of the club,

 

NO I would not have gotten rid of Adkins either now or even had we been relegated - as you all know that has always been my opinion and I stand by.

 

But I dont have to make it. NC did based on what I assume is a long term plan and he has his reasons. I dont know what they are so wont presume he did it becaus ehe is a cant or because he is imcompetent - because SO FAR his decsions have seenm us progress as a club, and I simply dont know him personally so cant judge whether he is a cant or not.

For all we know Cortese gave him a really nice back massage before breaking the news to him. Then he cooked up some lovely pasta, and wrote a large severance, cheque and sent him off to a 5* resort in the carribean with two sky sports girls.

 

He should very given Nige until the summer. But I think the that Nige will cope fine with what has happened. More so than quite a few fans who are in tears as we speak.

Franks cousin is all that's wrong with today's game. Probably one if lowes mates

 

You are so right - are you clairvoyant.

 

Some of you are obviously a bit dim - mistaking emotion and anger for passion and concern - you seem to fail to grasp that you can disagree, be concerned about decisions without all the superfluous public emoting and infantile bile that so many of you seem to spout. You forget that bile spouting which you seem to think is 'passion' is a relatively NEW part of football crowds - pre 70s it was not there -s so go back to school and you might realise that football passion is not all about anger and bitterness and hatred, but for the first 100 years was about respect.

It is simple

 

 

You either think Cortese makes the right choices and is good for the club.

 

Or you think his judgment is poor and he is way out oh his depth.

 

 

I personally have always been of the opinion he is a vial evil little cretin. I have heard far to much to class it as just a coincidence or people just holding a grudge.

 

I honestly genuinely think he will destroy our club over time. The man is evil in my opinion simple as that. If you can find one person at st Mary's that actually likes the man you will be doing well.

 

 

The latest decision he has made is just another one to add to the list. And don't think for one minute there will not be more because there will.

 

 

The first opportunity Cortese gets to get out with a nice pay off he will. He is only here for the money in my opinion.

 

What's done is done now and there's no changing it. It's not the new guys fault so I'm right behind him!

 

I'm sure we have another yes man on our hands tho! There's not many managers that would work under Cortese knowing what goes on.
