Brilliant

Remember the Man Utd substitutions?

Well fair enough, but the game has moved on now, it's an entertainment industry in many ways, right to the board level, welcome to the 21st century

Good for you then, I am presuming you won't be gracing SMS until Cortese has gone then?

Probably not, but I guess NC had a certain criteria and no one in the summer fitted. I keep saying that aside form all the sentiment about what a great bloke Nigel is, this is football and this is how it is, if you don't like it, watch Rugby perhaps

He isn't expecting Europe this season, probably expected more than what we have so far, but he is expecting more in the future and that's why he has done what he has done today. Bad timing? Yeah, personally I would made the decision at the start or the end of this season, it's a big ****in gamble, and he might **** it up, but he is doing it for the right reasons.

He was the right choice for the job in hand, getting to the Premier League. Why are we looking for a new CB? Because Jos is okay in this league, but we all know that he is not going to really make it, and I think we all know that about Nigel too.

Avoid the question eh.

Seriously missing your point St Marco. My point is that he has achieved what he said he would do, as he was the man charged to do it by the man with the money. Don't think he ever said he would score the goals, but he bought (you think ML did anything but sign the cheque?) the man who could. So it's not his money, that's not really the point is it?

And tomorrow I have to blow him

It's alright, he's not dead.

Blimey, Avenue saint and Alpine both liking me in one day.

So it would not have been a failure if we were still in the third division? Yeah, not his money, but his plan, it's an achievement. Markus, God Bless Him just turned up with his scarf and camera, who did he trust with his money?

So is that you really want? Then what? Happy playing f-kin Doncaster and Dagebham? Do me a favour.

That ****** w and you know you would have been in Munich that night

Lowe lost us Stoneham, Southampton CC got us St Marys

How many other chairmen invite fans for dinner, okay, not sure how frequent they are now, but it was common place not so long ago.

Yeah, it was much better under the previous chairmen wasn't it. Lowe - Jesus, where would we start? Wilde - Chancer Askham? Have a thought about where we have been going for the last three years.

Think you might want to start following another sport mate, Rugby perhaps?

What Champions league trophy wins?

So the timing was bad, and the manner in which a decent man who had done a good job was caked was pretty appealing perhaps, but hey, that's the football (wake up and smell the coffee, it really is like this now). I am sure Nigel is probably the least surprised man in all of this. But now we have these anti Cortese posters, Turkish, Hypo etc. giving it some about the man who: Allegedly bought Leibherr to the club Paid a million in the third division striker Took this club into the Premier League - as promised Talks about expanding the stadium to make us a bigger club Doesn't buy players like Cisse (the QPR one) Wants to take us to the Champions League Talks to the fans He ****s up sometimes sure, but he has done exactly what he said he would do, we have all been to Wembley and we are now at the top table. He sacked Pardew and it worked, whilst I am not what you would call happy about today, I am looking forward to a new era perhaps, and this new bloke might just be the man to take us there.

He'll be there.

No, Channons post is about how the club belongs to the fans, and how the likes of Roman and NC don't have the same sentiment. My observation is about the likes of Benali and co telling everyone how bad the decision is, because its not fair. There's no fair in football anymore. The game has changed so much, even from Mattys day. Posters that are a bit self pretentious eh!

All these ex players who haven't realised that football has moved on.

He has to be instrumental, I mean the guy just stays, it's quite clear that he is the top football man at the club.
