Griffo Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I'll teach him his first two English words - f*ck off.
Saint Garrett Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 No, his interview this afternoon will be via an interpreter.
niceandfriendly Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Apparently not, which is concerning. Blackmore said he'll be doing the presser with an interpreter.
a1ex2001 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Roger said: The new manager? Couldn't care if he's fluent in over 8 million forms of communication he can still drop dead for all I care.

Wonder if we'll feel the same at the end of this , or next season ?
Give it to Ron Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He only knows one sentence "Ricky you are dropped"
pangy Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I wouldnt worry if he can speak English or not,Cortese will probably pick the team/tactics for him all he has to do is relay the messages Cortese is telling him via the earpiece he will wear at all times
St Marco Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Give it to Ron said: He only knows one sentence "Yes Don Cortese" Fixed for you
Greenridge Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 His managerial track record is, er, average
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Don't worry, super mikey is on his way to the ground now to teach him.
Crazy Diamond Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 "At Southampton, that is an advantage he does not have. Communication will naturally be harder as he does not speak English. Pochettino has vision but, after the sacking of Adkins, he will have to get results too. And fast." http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2013/jan/18/southampton-mauricio-pochettino?CMP=twt_gu Sid Lowe, Englishman Spanish football expert.
Greenridge Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 At least he'll be able to speak to Guly when he tells him to go on in the 75th minute
Give it to Ron Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I hate him already :-) BBC Solent Sport BBC Solent Sport @solentsport Pochettino: "there's no need necessarily to bring in new players before the window closes" #saintsfc

david in sweden Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 after 53 years as a fan ......words fail me. Surprise isn't even a word on the list ! I'm not going to start criticising before I see the result of the next 5 games, but I forsee an exit of some of our current regulars.....probably following Nigel to his * new club. There won't be a need for Ramirez's interpreter anymore but the rest of the English-speaking players will need one..and preferably someone who understands football tactics. STILL Shocked ´ * Nigel's new club will be .....??? Difficult to say as his new club haven't sacked their current manager yet, maybe we need a poll on that one MODS ? ......but be assured Nigel will certainly be in demand. After Wednesdays result, it might even be .......Chelsea ?

Whitey Grandad Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Greenridge said: At least he'll be able to speak to Guly when he tells him to go on in the 75th minute Why, does he speak Portuguese?
gammon cheeks Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Griffo said: I'll teach him his first two English words - f*ck off. ill teach the next two...." you Cu n t"
Greenridge Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Whitey Grandad said: Why, does he speak Portuguese? david in sweden said: ....except that Brazilians speak Portuguese....not Spanish. Portuguese is a mandatory second language in the Argentinian school curriculam so I guess the answer is YES. Is that OK with you chaps?
Saint Charlie Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Apparantly he said in English "I am happy to be here in this amazing weather." Understands English and promises to speak it well soon. Source: Henry Winter
Griffo Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Excellent, so he can speak a tiny bit of English. This makes it all so much better.
Badger Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Griffo said: I'll teach him his first two English words - f*ck off. Thats the "Essential Everyday English for Inexperienced Foreign Football Managers " level gammon cheeks said: ill teach the next two...." you Cu n t" Perhaps a bit too soon for the 'A' level though.
pingwing Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 This is becoming more and more laughable at every moment. Can't speak english?!?! So he is going to be able to chat to Gaston fine and maybe Guly + Fonte in broken portuguese. Bravo Cortese bravo.

It will be a right laugh explaining tactics to our Polish keeper and Norwegian and Japanese centre backs in broken English.
Matthew Le God Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He played for 3 years in France with PSG and Bordeaux, so should be able to talk to Schneiderlin.
S-Clarke Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 It's mental that this should even be a question we're having to ask. Unbelievable.
Pancake Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Why do we assume none of the players can speak Spanish?

itchen_dan Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 No harder than trying to speak to them in Adkinsisms and Scouse!

I'm in waiting for him to tell his interpreter to tell Tadanari Lee's interpreter to tell Tadanari Lee what to do!

Wes Tender Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Somehow I immediately thought of this:- It's going to be highly amusing when he begins to be able to speak some English with a Hampshire accent. If he's here that long.

Laurel and hardy the pair of them.
Window Cleaner Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Pancake said: Why do we assume none of the players can speak Spanish? when we know very well that at least one of them does and that he already has an interpreter versed in the ways of the team.

Its actually a joke. It will need 4 people just to get the point across. I still keep picturing it in my head and just gives me a smile . What a joke.

suewhistle Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Well! I'm due to move back to the UK in the medium term so trying to be positive there might be a bit more English teaching work in the Southampton area. I have the advantage of having my own footie boots (actually both moulded, screw-in and keeper's gloves!), European experience (we're playing Juventus on Sunday!), and I'll be needing the money so can give reasonable rates... Hey, it's not all bad! :-(
