Batman Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 I know he left (or legged it) but we were supposed to 'get our club back' when he walked now we know why if this is the strategy for the way forward It shows what a brilliant job he did keeping the players not only onside (seeing as they cant wait to leave) but head the club upwards it may have not been his money but what a fecking job he did there is just no way, this utter shambles would be happening had he been here

hypochondriac Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 If the only alternative is this then I would.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 IN AN INSTANT. He'd have Uncle Les, Gareth Who?, Heil Hans and Wreck-It Ralphie out of the door in no time.
aintforever Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course we would but he was the first rat to jump ship.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 At least people can get their books into the Megastore. And we got our stripes back.
Batman Posted 28 July, 2014 Author Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course we would but he was the first rat to jump ship. you can see why
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course we would but he was the first rat to jump ship. Which goes to show how long this course of action has been planned for.
Greenridge Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 IN AN INSTANT. He'd have Uncle Les, Gareth Who?, Heil Hans and Wreck-It Ralphie out of the door in no time. Some totting up of salaries there when, other than Reed, NC was covering all those positions.
aintforever Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 you can see why Yes, but if the owner wants to pull 'X' amount of millions out he could have stayed and helped the club.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Can't someone get him to rescue our club? I'll give him a bell if you've got his number.
Roger Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Yes without a doubt. Love Matty he's my all time hero but as horrid as cortèse is he gets things done. Get right backer in and hope to see the back of katrina who just wants her money back.
corky morris Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Nope. He didn't have the money or authority to promise the things he did. He needed Liebher money to do what he did. Actually think the rot started when Marcus died & he was left to do what he wanted. That does not make me at all impressed with the current board or what is happening. I'm gutted, but don't think getting him back would change anything. It's time for the board to step up! Don think they will though!

saint1977 Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 I'd welcome anyone that wasn't Les Reed, Gareth 'work experience boy' Rogers and Ralph 'Freddie's dumb brother' Kreuger. Morons all of them and couldn't run a bath. Hopefully an intimidating atmosphere at the first few home games next season might persaude them it's not wise to stick around.
LGTL Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course I would. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or benefitted from him not being there.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course I would. Anyone who says otherwise is either lying or benefitted from him not being there. FHF ?

Not reed or Gareth's fault it's katrina and hofsetter trust me.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 In a heartbeat. For want of a better description, NC's departure might be considered a constructive dismissal - a fait accompli if you like.
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 IN AN INSTANT. He'd have Uncle Les, Gareth Who?, Heil Hans and Wreck-It Ralphie out of the door in no time. Gawd you are thick. And whose money would he be using?
Dellman Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 It's ironic that Ralph K has written a book on motivation and leadership but it was NC that actually did it, where has the motivation and leadership been since he left?
aintforever Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 You have to wonder if big fat Kat is doing this to get back at Cortese. They obviously had a falling out, I expect Cortese gave her the big "you can't run this club without me" so she thought, **** you, you dwarf I don't need you or your club.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 I said when the Lying Argie left that this was a chain events started by the death of Markus, ergo its Fat Kat's fault, and every day reinforces my belief. Not only did she pull the plug after last summer, she has now swung the engine into full reverse.
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 (edited) What NC instead of KL? is NC funding the club out of his own money or does he have a magic pot of gold to use. Would NC and no rich owner be a good thing? My own feelings are if he had stayed we would still be in much the same position even the legend that is NC can't stop players wanting to go to bigger clubs. Edited 28 July, 2014 by doddisalegend
Jonnyboy Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 If the only alternative is this then I would. Boom! U Turn!

Would NC an know rich owner be a good thing? My own feelings are if he had stayed we would still be in much the same position even the legend that is NC can't stop players wanting to go to bigger clubs. Maybe he would have found another buyer. He found Markus after all, and he alluded to the notion he could find others. A lot of you didnt like the bloke, but he did his job well, unlike the trained chimps running the show now.

Kl won't put a penny more in and told nicola that.
Delboy Dave Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 I would Get him in ASAP. The this useless bunch of c u n t s running the club can fu ck off and go and ruin something else
Jonnyboy Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Nope. He didn't have the money or authority to promise the things he did. He needed Liebher money to do what he did.

Totally agree Cortese built a dream on a house of cards however I cannot believe how naive this club has become and the board really needs to take a look at itself. It is going to take some rescuing from here that's for sure.
Jonnyboy Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Kl won't put a penny more in and told nicola that. Did she tell him she was taking £100 million back out to Switzerland?
doddisalegend Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Kl won't put a penny more in and told nicola that. Wasn't it NC who wanted the club to be self sustainable? at least when he first arrived before he got all excited about the CL.
shurlock Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 The anyone-but-Cortese brigade would still prefer to take a blunt razor and cut their noses I guess.
alpine_saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 The anyone-but-Cortese brigade would still prefer to take a blunt razor and cut their noses I guess. Yep, they have books to sell.
aintforever Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Maybe he would have found another buyer. It's not his to sell though, he was an employee.
mulletsaint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 I know he left (or legged it) but we were supposed to 'get our club back' when he walked now we know why if this is the strategy for the way forward It shows what a brilliant job he did keeping the players not only onside (seeing as they cant wait to leave) but head the club upwards it may have not been his money but what a fecking job he did there is just no way, this utter shambles would be happening had he been here Fat chance. Said he'd never come back in that interview he gave after he left. Besides he'd need another billionaire's money to play with.
Olallana Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Of course everyone should welcome him back. That would mean that we had an existing or new owner who shares the ambition cause without it he wouldn´t come. Pretty easy concept to grip I think...
Fitzhugh Fella Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Cortese would have been nothing without Liebherr cash and that is a FACT
Smirking_Saint Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Rumour going around he was at St Marys today with the sunseeker guy, I think its utter crap but Im trying to find out if there is any truth in the rumour And yes, in a heartbeat
Saint Charlie Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Cortese would have been nothing without Liebherr cash and that is a FACT But he did have the cash and did a great job with it.
Dalek2003 Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Whatever you say, it looks to me as if the club is being stripped of its assets and ready for a quick sale. Could NC be waiting int he wings with a new buyer ?
Greenridge Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Rumour going around he was at St Marys today with the sunseeker guy, I think its utter crap but Im trying to find out if there is any truth in the rumour And yes, in a heartbeat Owned by Dalian Wanda yes?
corky morris Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 what on earth did he promise? He made promises to the players he didn't have the authority too. And he also promised the head chef a new kitchen that he failed to provide. The chef left. That my friend is a statement of fact & can be easily supported if you do some digging!!
Badger Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Maybe he would have found another buyer. He found Markus after all, and he alluded to the notion he could find others. . So what happened to the big talk of being able to find other buyers, and why has he not come back to the rescue ?
Olallana Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Cortese would have been nothing without Liebherr cash and that is a FACT How many chairmans in football does it with their own money at top level? (Honest question)
Block34 Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Bring Cortese back without his own money? No chance. Would Cortese come back without his own money - only if he could run it with no proper governance so no chance. Bring in a proper, 'footballing' CEO? Yes please. We need one whose 'core skills' reflect our situation.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 28 July, 2014 Posted 28 July, 2014 Nope. He didn't have the money or authority to promise the things he did. He needed Liebher money to do what he did. Actually think the rot started when Marcus died & he was left to do what he wanted. That does not make me at all impressed with the current board or what is happening. I'm gutted, but don't think getting him back would change anything. It's time for the board to step up! Don think they will though! He may have spen money whilst an executor but an executors role is to ensure the money is well looked after. The result of spending the money has been to produce a club worth far more than was spent full of expensive assets as we have seen. The difference between him and KL was when to cash in He felt with a bit more spend the value of the club and players would increase more she disagreed the result is history. I personally would have him back any time! He may have had his shortcomings as a person but as a Chief Executive he had few equals getting us up from L1 to 3rd in the premier in just over 4 years. He had a strategy and a plan that worked and the drive, will and commitment to make all the hard decisions to see it through. Compare that to this lot who couldn't convince a 19 year old with only 23 appearances to his name give us another year! No comparison
