sadoldgit Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 It did, you were talking about being able to determine Donald Trump has a big ego. Trump has had alot of media coverage over the years. What I did is list the brief time Cortese has had in a mere 3 broadcast interviews since the takeover in 2009. What did he do in them to suggest a "big ego" to you? In terms of wanting media exposure, he is very reclusive in that regard, it is Le Tissier that is holding a weekly one-way slanging match over TV/radio/newspapers not Cortese. You could argue that because of his alleged "big ego" he belives he is too important to have to explain his decisions to the plebs and is way above dealing with the local paper (who afterall have a duty to report on their local clubs).

JustMike Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Worked with an employee of SFC to do with sports science and helped with preseason tests at Solent. I am not sure if he was doing work experience at the University or if he was doing it at SFC and was based at the Uni (and yes I know you are a lecturer there. The person I am referring to has a father who works at the university. If you really need me to I can PM ou to confirm.) interesting...the guys I have spoken to where singing his praises recently.

Saintandy666 Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Cortese hasn't made a big call wrong yet. It is why the 'protests' were so damp at Everton. Deep down, we all know we have prospered under him. If we want success, which we all do, that can sometimes mean unsentimental decisions. And in modern football, you have to aim for success and run a club like a business. Let's review this in a years time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toomer Posted 27 January, 2013 Share Posted 27 January, 2013 Correct me if I am wrong but did Cortese say he has never met MLT, if he did the man has lied as I was sat on the same table at a charity function last year as MLT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With MLT, Cortese or both? Were ther close to each other, did they speak? Did they hold hands... this one has done the rounds already. Depends what you want to believe NC meant when he said it - and you can find a suitable interpretation to fully validate your opinion whatever you chose to believe... Jeez its a classic. I and some of our fellow cult, believe, not without some considerable thought that Cortese was meaning he did not KNOW Matt well enough to judge him.... but others feel its a lie and therefore he is a LIAR AND A CAD! - seriously you could not make it up... but I tell you what its been entertaining.

Here's how it was reported. On Le Tissier, a one-club man afforded hero status by the Saints fans, he said: 'I don't even know him, he's never met me. 'Anyone in the past who is associated with the club is stirring negativity towards me should probably ask if it's beneficial for the club. I would not allow myself to judge someone I have never met.' As Frank says, you can either take that statement literally or (should you desire) form some other meaning of your own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it turns out she was 'interested' in me (i.e. she had no lectures in the afternoon, and wasn't too attached to her knickers), and my mate was asking in the hope, of a "yeah, she's fit" type answer.

ssaints Posted 28 January, 2013 Share Posted 28 January, 2013 I think SSN just showed some more footage of the interview with NC as I don't recall seeing this clip yesterday. "It's not one moment it's a consequence moments where you realise what's going on in the team I am ver close to the team. You could see that the team are hungry, hungry to progress, hungry to get to the next step." He goes onto to say that he felt that hunger wasn't satisfied, that was the moment you start thinking about a change. Then talks about keeping the young players in the squad and not selling them like had previously happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 28 January, 2013 Share Posted 28 January, 2013 Not sure why they haven't put it up on SaintsPlayer somewhere, otherwise what is the point in people paying for it ?! Probably because it's not owned by the club as such, it's owned by Sky and they have the rights to do what they want with it. From their point of view, staggering it out a bit makes more sense from a viewer point of view. If they put it all out online then they'd get less people watching the TV! It gives them a little more content as well, which could run for a few weeks - rather than playing it all at once, in the same day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
