VectisSaint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He isn't a top level coach - is basically there as a translator. He was a Saints in the Community Coach and will be useful now to translate I guess but isn't going to be coaching the squad. So in other words he has much in common with Mourinho
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Exactly. He has no idea. Southampton could mean anyone in the club. Or he could have misunderstood the question with his basic english and thought they meant who has signed Forren ?
david in sweden Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 We're screwed for Monday night. He'll have to use Gazzaniga as his interpreter![/QUOTE] ..just as long as he doesn't use him as goalkeeper, I don't mind...
SuperMikey Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 MP: I have bring in man name Alpine be my assistant. He make very good point and is genius. In Spain we have day for him call Day of Fat Sod.
david in sweden Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Fonte and Guly are naturally Portuguese speakers, but it is very similar to Spanish and generally one can understand the other. .....and of course our £12 million signing, too.
ericofarabia Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Like English and Scottish then.Could be the next Fergie. Not being able to speak English hasn't done Fergie too much harm. How the hell the players understand him I dont know!!
Suhari Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Like English and Scottish then.Could be the next Fergie. Not being able to speak English hasn't done Fergie too much harm. How the hell the players understand him I dont know!! Redcrapp can barely slur a handful of words together, and sadly he has done ok too.
Spudders Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 cortese turns up the whole conferene is about adkins - is that fair on the new guy - hey i dont like it at all but hes our manager now and this is his first press conference - far better tp be about the club going forard - could turn up and bin off al the questions but that doesnt help anyone really, cowardly or smart move by cortese not to be there - probably the latter? Stop it with your crazy common sense and logical approach, there's no place for that here!
Horley CTFC Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Guly may be able to understand it. Portuguese and Spanish are not too dissimilar. Is it too late to sign Gary Linaker?!
Badger Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Well that was cringeworthy, and disgusting that Cortese left him on his own facing the press. Spineless & classless are two words that spring to mind. One thing you could credit His Rupertship for, he did face up to the media about the Hoddle return and did not hide. He even stood on the sidelines, for the 'Arry & SCW love-in, and was present.
corky morris Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Absolutely!!! Gutless from Cortese not to be at the press conference and explain his decsion. even if just to show his support for his new man.
Millbrook Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 If he had been there, the whole press conference would have been the press asking why he'd sacked Adkins, this would have put the whole conference into a negative vibe.
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 If he had been there, the whole press conference would have been the press asking why he'd sacked Adkins, this would have put the whole conference into a negative vibe. do you not think those questions need anwering then?
VectisSaint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 do you not think those questions need anwering then? Would there be any benefit if they were answered. We never got answers about Pardew, never caused us any harm. Cortese would not answer anyway, naive to think he would.
Millbrook Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 do you not think those questions need anwering then? yes i do but there's a time and a place, when the new manager is being introduced to the press isn't really the time.
sotonjoe Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 MP: I have bring in man name Alpine be my assistant. He make very good point and is genius. In Spain we have day for him call Day of Fat Sod. With English like that you should give up those dreams of a teaching job. Any job, in fact.
Saint Jude Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He might me crazy and a megalomaniac... but unlike Wupert you can't criticise NC for being a self publicist...
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Would there be any benefit if they were answered. We never got answers about Pardew, never caused us any harm. Cortese would not answer anyway, naive to think he would. I didn't say i think he would but he should do. Everyone is stunned and shocked by the decsion. from the fans to the national media and players. An explanation from him as to why he took the decision and why the new man is so much better would be the minimum you'd expect.
bridge too far Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He's very very nice to look at though!
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He's very very nice to look at though! A typical womans response. This is why women should not go to, nor have an opinion on anything football related.
Hockey_saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Half the time I don't understand you lot either. I studied Spanish as a side unit at Uni and can honestly say, word-for-word it's the only interview I understood totally. He's trying his very best with that rubbish translator to slow it down. Also, He's from the same town as Gazziniga (coincidence?) he also signed Jose Fonte's brother Rui so I'm assuming he probably knows him. Also, remember, Cortese is answerable to the Liebherrs and I'm assuming he's probably gotten orders from them considering we are currently I think the 5th highest spending club in Europe. So whilst I agree, Adkins did a top notch job and that this is an odd move, I think some of you have been a tad harsh.
bridge too far Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 A typical womans response. This is why women should not go to, nor have an opinion on anything football related. Oooo errrr get her! But it's OK for blokes to consider that a SSN reporter is OK because of her chest?
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Oooo errrr get her! But it's OK for blokes to consider that a SSN reporter is OK because of her chest? Yep. Absolutely. Not just her chest mind.
bridge too far Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Yep. Absolutely. Not just her chest mind. Well, you've obviously seen more of her than I have of him.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 To be fair, the only reason she is reading out the football news is because of her chest and looks. It is not for her great knowledge and love of football is it?
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Well, you've obviously seen more of her than I have of him. nothing to do with it. I was talking about your pathetic contribution to the discussion that he was good looking.
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 To be fair, the only reason she is reading out the football news is because of her chest and looks. It is not for her great knowledge and love of football is it? I dont care.
bridge too far Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Big John Registered User Join DateMar 2008Posts1,027 " He's a looker though, that's certain parts of the fanbase on board already." Surprised you didn't have a pop at Big John then Turkish - or did the bit of his user name 'BIG' scare you.
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 About what? That the only reason she is presenting the sport is because she's fit.

Surprised you didn't have a pop at Big John then Turkish - or did the bit of his user name 'BIG' scare you. Yes, i was terrified. The user name "Big John" left me nervous about what to say to him and worried he might give me a keyboard full tyrade on here or worse still a PM full of non niceities. OR MAYBE.........I didn't notice it. He's right though, you birds seem to be frothing at the gash about him. Which is fine, just dont expect me to respect your views on anything football related when that was your only input.

Bearsy Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Big John is not a practising homosexual. I'm not being flippant, that's what he said when I investigated gays. Also he told me off for calling him "BJ"
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 That the only reason she is presenting the sport is because she's fit. Who does? The point was that she is only there because she is fit. She is earning an income because she is fit (like a football pornstar) therefore it is fair to comment on her tits etc. Pontius pilate though is here as a football manager, therefore all bridge bird should be interested in is his tactical ability and his CA on football manager. In a strange way, I was agreeing with you turks.
Tokyo-Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Big John is not a practising homosexual. I'm not being flippant, that's what he said when I investigated gays. Also he told me off for calling him "BJ" Calling him or asking him for?
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 We'll be on an even keel then. i dont know how i'll ever recover from such a snub.
John Boy Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He's very very nice to look at though! Mrs JBS and daughter #1 reckon he is a Cortese clone!!
Jonnyboy Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Big John is not a practising homosexual. I'm not being flippant, that's what he said when I investigated gays. Also he told me off for calling him "BJ" Is he like a priest or summat?
cellone Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Is he like a priest or summat? Are you all related? what whith being called John.
