hypochondriac Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 Your previous posts on this thread can be summed up in four words:- Damned with faint praise. I know you won't like it, but there appears to be a bit more support for saint86's post than any of yours on this thread What part of calling promotion "a great achievement that should be applauded and which made a huge difference financially" would you consider faint praise.

The bit that came after it. I'll just remind you, shall I? Just because he helped us to promotion does not then mean that the the chairman has carte blanche to neglect bits of the business and do what the hell he likes simply because of the money he has made us previously.

Avenue Saint Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 What the hell.... For starters, he managed to establish us in the premier league whilst slashing the wage budget from 100% to somewhere in the 60% region, so didn't do a bad job with wages and bonuses. As for "shouldn't completely disregard the good things he achieved" - whether you like it or not, Cortese is directly responsible for everything we now sit here and enjoy. The media limelight and praise we recieve, the academy, fuc king pochettino who everyone loves (and the football we play), it is all down to Cortese and his decisions. On top of that, he did a great job with the finances, posting a £5m loss, are you people for real and actually listening to the spin the new board are putting on this? Every club splits transfers over 12, 24, 36 etc months - but we are the only ones who make a big deal of it? He slashed the wage budget (and very low agent fees!!) and has got us a £30m upgrade on the academy which is above and beyond the original designs to keep us at the very forefront and top of the game. AND... Without Cortese, we would never have been brought by ML... He did it all, and for a loss of only £5million last season, this is a smallfry compared to the vast majority of clubs in the league, and its also a figure that will be completely dwarfed by the increased tv deals this season. I doubt you could hope to achieve (let alone better) what he did in the same timeframe to be honest. The club is in a very healthy position, which will be even better after this seasons tv and prize money and the board are just trying to put some PR spin on things to push cortese even further from supporters minds (fairly unnecessary to be honest). But put it another way, if we were in financial difficulties, we wouldn't be able to say no one is for sale. So its either true (and therefore spin) or their lying about the figures and what they mean... but as for "Lets move on but we shouldn't completely disregard the good things he achieved at the club" - that is a joke, he raised this club up to where it is through his shear bloody mindedness and ruthlessness. And thank god he did. Good post. Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 The bit that came after it. I'll just remind you, shall I? So you think Cortese should have Carte Blanche to do what the hell he liked?

Wes Tender Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 Sounds like a fair comment to me. Yes it would be if it was part of a rather more balanced assessment, but as Hypo has constantly also voiced his desire to see Cortese gone and then his pleasure when it happened, (even on this thread) then it is reasonable to call his grudging approval of some of the things Cortese did well as faint praise.

He was given enough money by Markus and KL to recruit a PL standard manager and buy in sought after players from the league above by paying top transfer fees and top wages.

NickG Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 And some can't even remember that since that eighth position, we were relegated into the third division and went into administration and have since staged one of the greatest phoenix revivals in football history. The achievement of this season's position has to be recognised against where we were when Markus Liebherr and Cortese took us over. Rather than feeling that this season is the greatest in our history, there are many who believe that the club's future prospects are as bright as they have ever been and that this team and the academy prospects coming through and the way they play is arguably the best that they have ever seen. Many would also argue that this current team would beat that 2003 team. That is applying some perspective to our current situation. Exactly. We have finished 8th before. The lead up to that was something like 25 years in top division and finishing 10th and 11th in the couple of years before. In the timescale leading up to the two 8th places (if we finish 8th) -last time we went from 12th to 8th in the time we went from relegation to league 1 to 8th. And three players with us in league 1 now play for England. Not a common rise! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you mentioned a previous Chairman's ability to deliver a series of solid mid Prem finishes culminating in eighth, a cup final and fourth in mid season too. Our last chairman fled for the hills during mid season (when we were ninth not fourth), stropping off after completing all of one whole season in the top flight. Fingers crossed the new guy can hack it for a little longer. Edited 1 April, 2014 by CB Fry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View From The Top Posted 1 April, 2014 Share Posted 1 April, 2014 I think people are confusing getting us to the prem (a great achievement that should be applauded and which made a huge difference financially) and idiocy like the training ground overspend or the sponsorship debacle.
