It beggars belief doesn’t it. Why can’t we just give them a cortisone injection and get them back out there.

So with Slotter (not) Back, Jander, Scienza and Larin all crocked you have to ask why we aren’t signing players who are alway available. Will they all miss the Middlesbourgh game? 🙄🙄🤦‍♂️

I don’t disagree with that but he also got us Koeman in the first place when the club was in disarray and after Cortese and then Pochetino fucked off with the later telling senior players they should leave He did towards the end, yes but he was also instrumental in our rise. He got us Adkins and Koeman had a hand in Pochetino and got made some very good signings. The problems began when he was the only person in a leadership role at the club with any experience in football. In Koeman he also had a strong character in charge of the team, but when he went Les had free reign which is never good for any business

Les Reed was actually good for Cortese, stopped him making a few stupid decisions, like sacking Adkins after the Reading game. Reeds issues started when Koeman left as he thought he’d cracked the code of football.

Well no but that doesn’t mean he didn’t try. di Matteo was only temporary manager when they won the champions league he wasn’t made permanent in the summer and only lasted 4 months. Then he tried again at the end of the year as Di Matteo had been sacked by then but like I said he was being paid a serious wedge which he’d have lost if he’d have joined us.

IIRC correct he tried to get him that summer but Chelsea made him permanent then he was sacked in the November by Chelsea but was still being paid up a crazy amount for another year or so and the deal couldn’t get done kraken is right on this one. It was a long time ago so dates might be slightly off but 100% Cortese wanted him and tried to get him twice. That’s when we turned to Pochetino.

I’m spending my traditional Christmas with MLG and his family. We arrive early to attend morning worship at his church, get back for lunch and the kings speech, afterwards the kids do a nativity play and then we give them their presents. We pray to god thanking his for sending his son to save us. Then we go carol singing before going back for sherry and nibbles.

Is the right answer this was after Cortese had to be talked out of sacking Adkin’s after we lost the Reading game at home in the championship. Adkins was a dead man walking from then on.

I thought Cortese found him and liked how he carried himself on the touchline?

Not when you’ve got a gaydar

A coaching coach? Good idea I reckon I could do that job we could free us the wages of the physios as we’re only going to sign players who never get injured as part of our new strategy so don’t need physios

He's a genius to be fair. Landed a job at one of the worlds biggest clubs where he has a lot of the power but none of the responsibility.

Movember.

Where is the line? I've seen lots of hang wringing from people about even telling inappropriate jokes is wrong and those telling jokes like this and those laughing are enablers. Jimmy Carr has got a lot to say for himself but some of his material has been about rape, shagging and peodphilies.
