Maybe so, but thats very different to what Tores claimed.

You think most managers choose to come to a club because they adore the chairman rather than its a good club with good players?

Exactly. They aren't (yet) a waste of money, but they were the wrong purchases given that the team needed strengthening for this season, not some point in the future. We were in danger of going straight back down again and needed players who would make an immediate contribution. I can imagine the bloodlust on here calling for heads to roll if results just one or two tight results had gone another way and we'd been relegated. The irony is that the cheaper buys - Lambert, Boruc, Davis, Clyne have made the most contribution.

Oh ****it. You've been on wiki and found that out just before me. Had me fooled. I need to get back on the main board, the bar is set a lot lower over there.

If you help me kill him we could have her on timeshare.

Be careful with them. They're hollow, not much inside.

On noes, the intellectual heavy weights have arrived. For what its worth I was at games when he was booed and I argued on here how pathetic it was. Im sure some of the same posters who were calling for his head then wont hear a word against him now. The lack of memory and perspective and shades of grey is eye opening. I didnt even vote 'no' in the poll, and thats still seen as heresy by you and a few other weak minds. Interesting. When's the lynching party for the SMS 37?

Its not a great likeness but the proportions are bang on. You should get three and pass a couple on to DD and Dig Dig for the Appreciation Club meets. http://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-CAPODIMONTE-CHARACTER-DOLL-BOY-4-BUST-CORTESE-/110104561161

The guy with the high voice was only on the show to talk about the medical negligence which wrecked his vocal chords, and the interviewer still laughed. Trashed his career apparently. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HrMzJrLdu_Y

DD stop trying to be Jeremy Paxman, you haven't got the wherewithal.

In that case it isn't looking good for the Piedmontese Pygmy.

Its up to you if you want to attribute all the plaudits for the teams performance the last few years to Cortese. Its weird, buts it up to you. Most people don't have Delia down as personally responsible for promotion, but each to their own. IMO NA got Saints promoted, largely despite and not because of Cortese's presence. Ramirez, Mayuka, Forren - £20m spent on players who barely played in a season where we were desperate for more quality and nearly got relegated. National and local press alienated. Contractors walking off site at Staplewood. A string of staff walking out. Long contracts given to players who are already nearly past it. To be frank Im embarrassed for you in your cult of personality worship.

Thats because its a vacuous dull question which you repeat ad nauseam. Heres how it would go - I list a number of Chairmen from various clubs who I think have done okay - some things well some things poorly, and then you pick one or two from the list and you argue the toss about the relative merits of somebody you know very little about and have never met. I'd rather be drowning puppies.

From that link - "Manifest Health also sell a coffee that's great for enema use". I always make it with fresh tap water and two sugars myself.

Could well be the same one. Definitely more junk shop than high end, in Gamla Stan off the main street. Near the water I think, but then most places there are. It was about 15 years ago so hard to remember.

Its important to remember Cortese's £1.6m was in the Championship and £750,000 in lg1. He will likely be on a lot more now, possibly more than Gill or Levy. http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10334149.Saints_pay_revealed/

Im sure they were. Pity we weren't

Exactly. And when Norwich did it my recollection was that everybody was rightly lauding Paul Lambert, not Delia.

How sweet that you are threatened by somebody expressing the view that Cortese has overall done no better or worse than another averagely good Chairman could do with the same resources. Proved my point very nicely, ta.

Very true, perhaps I have underestimated him

I had two bashes instead of doing the quiz.

You still stalking Glasgow with the aim of getting him banned, or given that up for another tearful rant?

I did. I learned that in two years Cortese has been catapaulted from evil **** who can do no right to fans deity who is the source of all light, and milk, and honey. Balance, let me introduce you to crowd hysteria. Dontcha just love it?

Quite. On those figures he's turned a £70m investment into a club worth about £70m. Not quite as stonking as many would have us believe.
