Can't agree, all history is relevant, it gives a context to current position and future action.

Good bit of Reading that one....

Good lads! haha

Expected to see either Gazza or Cropper's name in here when clicking. Good luck to Britt either way.

I don't think anyone has ever doubted that he was behaving like a dictator, in terms of raw progress it served the club extremely well. The worry for me is what happens now that the head of the beast has been severed. The club as a corporate entity may be easier to deal with now but if the progress we have made isn't maintained then will that be enough to compensate? - Or will it be a massive weakness?

The comparison cannot be dissmissed when any future precident is currently unknown mate. For all we know we may press on and win the cup this year while Cortese masterminds A.C. Milan's return to Italian dominance!

Must confess that this did cross my mind as well.

This was also stated to be left to the players by Nigel Adkins last year if I remember correctly.

As a wildcard, Clyne v Burnley? But my favourite is that Wayne Thomas strike.... what a scorcher.

Cheers for the translation, it would be so helpful if Pochettino came with subtitles.

True, just in the context of the current atmosphere it struck me as being possibly a rather unfortunate error.

A question that the NEW owner needs to answer!? He corrected himself quickly....... Was that an unintended slip?

"No player that I don't want to leave will leave....."

Will any players be leaving? Just emphasised the full support of Katharina Liebherr and that she didn't want Nicola's departure to destabilise things.

Video on NOW!!

Yes, He is also saying 100% commited to the club on Twitter. Great news.

A pleasing silver lining.

Bless those skates, It's like a crippled ant laughing at an elephant.

Even Down Down!? You sadistic f**ker!!!

It's the end of the world as we know it (And I feel fine) or Break Stuff

Even i'm struggling to get behind that comment. There's no point having a silver lining if the cloud is about to unleash a gargantuan flood.

I wouldn't say sanity, but the vast, vast majority of fans would never have had any personal contact with Nicola Cortese therefore their concerns would in most cases lay with the first point.

My gut-reaction to this is quite simply the same four letter word on repeat. Really really annoyed.

A point which may make a lot of sense.....

A sad day. He was a driven man who ruffled feathers but oversaw incredible progress. We are substantially weaker without him.
