Pugwash Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I know Nigel is too dignified to stoop so low, but I'd love to know what he had to say.
aintforever Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 According to the BBC it was reporters who told him.
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I doubt it. Apparantely Pardew found out via the club secretary. I doubt Cortese would be gracious enough to explain himself to Adkins face to face.
Stu Man Do Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Didn't have the balls to show his face to the media when welcoming his new employee this afternoon so I'm sure he bottled telling Nigel to his face as well.
hypochondriac Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Didn't have the balls to show his face to the media when welcoming his new employee this afternoon so I'm sure he bottled telling Nigel to his face as well. Cowardly, spineless little man.
Crab Lungs Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Cowardly, spineless little man. If that's the case, then he's little tw4t.
Toomer Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 (edited) Have been told by a family member that works for the club (same office as Cortese PA) that Adkins and Cortese had not spoke to each other since Christmas. Edited 18 January, 2013 by Toomer
Turkish Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Have been told by a family member that works for the club (same office as Cortese) that Adkins and Cortese had not spoke to each other since Christmas. Im not surprised.
Roger Posted 18 January, 2013 Author Posted 18 January, 2013 Well what about the transfer window etc. was there one big row?
Trader Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 What's the betting he won't show up on Monday? Little s*it.
hypochondriac Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 What's the betting he won't show up on Monday? Little s*it. He definitely won't. Would almost have more respect for him if he stood there and took the deserved verbal abuse. Almost.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I doubt it very much. Cortese doesn't speak to the fans or the employees. Hes far to important. He probably give that job to someone else. Bit Nigel wishes he hasn't signed the piece of paper saying when he leaves he has to keep his mouth shut.
hypochondriac Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 This new guy will just be a yes man and a puppet and will probably be treated just as disrespectfully. What a horrible little man.
Smirking_Saint Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 Cowardly, spineless little man. Whether this turns out to be a good move or not it matters not. I agree, certsin situations call for big decisions to be made, and yes this really could be for the good for Saints guys... BUT if you are man enough to make those big decisions you need to be man enough to stand by the strength of your convictions and be judged on them. Adkins certainly doesnt deserve to be treated that way. Happy with where Saints are, happy to progress but not happy that we are chaired by a cowardly, despicable little c*nt
Noodles34 Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 He definitely won't. Would almost have more respect for him if he stood there and took the deserved verbal abuse. Almost. He'll be there.
itchen_dan Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 According to a Mirror article, Cortese actually told Lallana before telling Adkins!
hypochondriac Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 According to a Mirror article, Cortese actually told Lallana before telling Adkins! Where?
Sour Mash Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 According to The Mirror article, Adkins found out by seeing it on TV - that speaks volumes about NC.
Ziggy Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 I would be amazed if he did and amazed if he will be there on Monday. There is one thing behaving the way he does but really impressive leaders face up to their critics and earn respect by doing just that. I don't get the impression this bloke has any balls.
Saint Charlie Posted 18 January, 2013 Posted 18 January, 2013 According to a Mirror article, Cortese actually told Lallana before telling Adkins! Article says he told Lallana after he told Adkins.

Well this is not true as I have family that work at the club and I know for fact that he speaks to them.
skintsaint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 This new guy will just be a yes man and a puppet and will probably be treated just as disrespectfully. What a horrible little man. Remember this been said about NA when he was appointed lol.... Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Cricketphilly Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Is Cortese his line manager? That would be the person who would dismiss him
Thedelldays Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 This new guy will just be a yes man and a puppet and will probably be treated just as disrespectfully. What a horrible little man. I have not looked...but so much of this was said when adkins took over...the sheer dismay when underwhelment when NA came in was there all to see and how the players would up sticks etc etc.. you should calm down a bit...instead of jumping on everything to try and reinforce your anti cortese thing....we get it, he is a bit of a ****

I'm still angry about the way our manager has been treated.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 TDD is being disingenuous. The general reaction to Nige was very positive, especially as we were on a shocking run of form. What are you going to make up next? Adkins was as popular as Branfoot? Come on.

hypochondriac Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 you are right...just had a look... Fair play for admitting it.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 you are right...just had a look... Back on board.
Matty's Caddy Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 I doubt it very much. Cortese doesn't speak to the fans or the employees. Hes far to important.

What a sh-I-t stirring little skate w-a-nker you are
los_saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Cowardly, spineless little man. Who saved our football club.
CB Fry Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Who saved our football club. So what. He's served his purpose and now he can f uc k right off out of the club, the city and the country. Cortese is nothing.
S-Clarke Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Cortese rarely speaks to anyone, although Jordan Sibley is starting to look like his own mini-me.
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 What a sh-I-t stirring little skate w-a-nker you are Lol. You are brilliant !! You are a Very clever boy with your - - gold star for you little one
ottery st mary Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 So many lies on here....Far too many journalist:p
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Well this is not true as I have family that work at the club and I know for fact that he speaks to them. Maybe your family are the chosen ones. Of course he says a few words to people In general he stays out the way and gets his minions to do his dirty work. And if you can defend the fact that he doesn't talk to the fans then its clear you are his rent boy
los_saint Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 (edited) No he didn't. Sorry. I must be thinking of a different club that nearly disappeared off the face of the earth. Don't forget that Leibherr wouldn't have pumped money in without knowing that Cortese was going to run the club for him. To all those directing vitriol towards Cortese (and there have been some truly shocking examples on this forum) I ask you this: What the **** do you want? Realistically I mean? Cortese to sever his relationship with the club? Who would be chairman? Tell me how you think it should work. Edited 19 January, 2013 by los_saint

A set-up like Germany or Swanse personally.
Thedelldays Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 We weren't going to disappear off the face of the earth. What would I like? A set-up like Germany or Swanse personally. you dont know if we were...maybe we would not..we could have been like pompey if not going pop
Sour Mash Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 you dont know if we were...maybe we would not..we could have been like pompey if not going pop I am very confident we wouldn't have. Look at Pompey as an example. We carried no-where near as much debt, had excellent infrastructure, an academy etc.

Exactly, we can't state anything as fact. What do you think? Do you think we were going to disappear off the face of the earth?
Thedelldays Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 Exactly, we can't state anything as fact. What do you think? Do you think we were going to disappear off the face of the earth? no...but I do not think we would have got a rich owner either.....
Sour Mash Posted 19 January, 2013 Posted 19 January, 2013 no...but I do not think we would have got a rich owner either..... Right, so you agree with me
