Anyway, I'm sure Cortese is delighted with the extra publicity...his minions probably planted the article themselves.... ;-)

I can't work out if this Neil Allen chap has genuinely got his head in the sand and truely doesn't know how ridiculous stories about employing a recruitment manager sound, or whether he privately does know how daft things are on Planet Pompey but is under strict orders from his newspaper's management to humour Pompey fans to preserve circulation figures etc.

I did say semi-serious.... ;-)
