Quite. Therefore I doubt these news stories do anything to undermine Cortese, in a perverse way it probably strengthens his position.

Does being 'not a nice human being' disqualify someone from being a strong and successful CEO/Chairman? I've known people to say that Rupert Lowe was a very nice person. We know how that worked out.

Sadly, the continuing importance of how nice someone is to Le God just demonstrates that he would have been a terrible chairman. He is too sensitive to have suceeded.

It makes him better then we had suffered for a very long time. A man who is comfortably capable of managing at Championship level, sacking him was a terrible error. In context, he was a bloody good manager for us.

I have to bite. Which of these is better then Nigel Pearson? Burley Dodd/Gorman Poortvliet Wotte ?

Agreed. His reputation is innexorably linked to that of the club. He won't do anything to shoot himself in the foot.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-19979380 Soon to follow should therefore also be breaking system... thus severing all mechanical links between driver and road. I would in no way want to drive a car with a system like this, despite the miniscule chance of anything catastrophic happening... (hopefully.... thank god it isn't Toyota pioneering this.) Thoughts?

I don't think there's any need to shoot messengers here, the need for the greatest player in our recent history to keep spouting this should be of more concern.

Not this again. Stop whining and tell us outright why he's so bad! Otherwise please put a sock in it.

Polish cursing..... Odd.

I said 'baby...'

I vote baby hippo.

Ok, a pointed question: What does he think of the manager's substitutions so far this season?

I quote directly from a colleague: "It's the worst car i've ever had, if you so much as see me saying the word Vauxhall ever again shoot me." He complains that the engines are underpowered, vague handling, the boot space nothing special and has had a few electrical issues. On the basis of the strength of his recommendation I would look elsewhere. If I was to get any car of this type second hand, SEAT Exeo. Proven reliable technology in a model that does everything right but at a lower cost.

I can only speak for my own experience in industry, but the atmosphere out there in the west midlands is a lot brighter then it was in 2009. Business is now there in the manufacturing sector and companies are starting to expand again.

Like Derby away..... but without football.

Are you being serious? Listen to it again..... and take your own advice, approach it with an open mind.

4pm kick off tomorrow then. Work? What's that.....

But thankfully, neither situation is of our making.

What the hell were they thinking? Serbia must be punished.

As an alternative, the final of the 'Great British Bake Off' is on tonight instead. Oh joy.

Taking the precident of the France v Ireland 6 nations game this year, was their any recompense for the travelling Irish hoarde?

Or at least get them to compensate the travelling fans.

It seems that we forgot our water wings.

Ah no, really liked that little shop, such a pity.
