FIFA 14 will have exclusive ultimate team content on the Xbox One. It will be interesting to see if people would rather have the exclusives or pay 80 quid less. Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

There's a Spanish club coming in for him as well as a Portuguese one? Which one?

Dave Whelan was on TalkSport and said Kenwright asked for permission to speak to Martinez last Friday. Sounds like Everton is almost a done deal. (They may be hoping a new manager will stop the moans over the badge). Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

The only problem with that is the shape of the shield... looks like a fat blokes torso.

Its surely just as feasible that the Liebherrs leaked the story to gauge fan reaction to Cortese. The story first appeared in the Times and Cortese hasn't exactly had the best relationship with New Corp papers over he past few years.

It sounds to me like NC is trying to negotiate a new contract. The story has probably been 'leaked' by either side to gain the reaction from the terraces against Stoke.

Would we have had Rodriguez playing so much better in the 2nd half of the season under Adkins? Without his improved form we would have been truly f^*ed.

Saints 0 - 7 Stoke would be the worrying score

Something along these lines will happen sooner rather than later. If Cortese wants us in the higher echelons of the Premier League, he'll very likely want us to be easily marketable. The shield with the part halo is an easily protectable IP, (with or without text) which is cheap to reproduce on merchandise and'll be more easily taken on board by a worldwide audience. I wouldnt be surprised to see 'Saints' officially incorporated into our name either.

Seeing as MOTD is recorded a lot earlier in the evening. Doubt they had a chance to watch any of the game or get any decent highlights edited.

Would any announcement be made on the day of a Match? Would a private company have to reveal such a thing anyway?

The word 'Proyecto' is translated directly into English as Project, but its literal meaning is also 'plan / scheme'. Thats why you'll hear most spanish speaking managers (like Pep when he just joined Bayern) using the term Project constantly.

Of Course he would, Cortese must have a photographic memory and remember every single person he's ever met in his life. Its not as if you would expect a first day in charge of a football club to fly past, be a complete buzz etc. Its not as if he meets football players / directors / chairman pretty much every day He categorically, most definitely, will vividly remember that 30 minute period of his life that he shared the boardroom with Le Tissier (and probably a load of other ex players / managers)

some random "Sky Italia journo" who joined Twitter yesterday and used the #SaintsFC hashtag in every single one of his first 7 tweets on the site. not to mention his Italian tweets are verbatim, what you get if you put his English tweets into Google Translate.

To be fair, can you remember every single person you've ever met? If it was the boardroom on NC and Liebherrs first game in charge there woul have been a stream of people congratulating them, welcoming them etc etc its harldy a stretch of the imagination to accept he simply can't remember.

at no point in the interview did Cortese say that. it was "Ive never met him, how can he justify his position that i have an ego if we have never met"

Inter haven't changed their asking price. The value of the pound vs the euro has changed significantly recently. It'll cost us more pounds to meet their Euro valuation. Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

not necessarily. He could have taken out a loan as an offset mechanism / to put on the balance sheet so they can pay lower taxes, like most of the businesses in our country do.

How do we know it isn't a kitty put aside by Markus Liebherr for when we reached the premiership / complete the 5 year plan ?

I think the key is better win bonuses and goal / assist bonuses, not necessarily more money per week. Sent from my Lumia 800 using Board Express

Cortese's best mate, Matt Le Tiss aint fussed from Talk Sport's Website earlier today:-

He took charge of pitch side affairs earlier in the season at Espanyol when MP and Jimenez both got two match bans for entering the refs room and remonstrating decisions.

Unless Rogriguez & Lambert can speak Spanish. MP had no problems giving them instructions before / during the game

that would be very strange as Pochettino heavily favours a 4-2-3-1

Think the bloke in image 49 in the training picks might be Jesus Perez (http://www.saintsfc.co.uk/news/article/training-gallery-squad-meet-pochettino-608602.aspx) http://videosdelbetis.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/jesus-perez-pepe-mel-betis.jpg
