Turkish

What did kat say when he left about governance? Have a think Brett and let's see if you can work it out for yourself

He's not here anymore is he, so clearly not.

Yes he did and no she didn't.

He should of at least raised a couple of million to cover what he paid himself.

How can this be? it's all too expensive and those extra games will kill a lot of people.

Turkish prediction - small rise met by hysterical reaction that prices should come down due to the TV deal, that people are being priced out, no one can afford it anymore. But most people renewing and season ticket sales being slightly up on last year.

No problem. It wasn't just me but there was a small minority of COC rebels that have been proven right.

Cortese isn't on the forum Dumbball.

One of these I find most amusing is the amount of people who are now saying how great it is that we're exploiting all the commercial revenue streams open to us. When I and a few others pointed out this was one of Cortese biggest failings, that he wasn't doing this and as CEO that was his job, that he was proving himself to be very good at spending money not so good at making it, I got absolutely lambasted. I was told that commercial revenue was a drop In the ocean compared to the TV money he had made us by getting us promoted, that he was a business genius that I hated him and wanted him to fail. Funny how now we are doing what he wasn't its a great thing. Just reinforces the view that Cortese was off playing real life football manager with someone else's money and that he was neglecting things he should have been doing.

After pinning his colours to the cortese mask in the summer our success this year had hit noodles quite hard. He was one of those that believed the day cortese went the club died. I imagine he still sleeps with the Leeds programme under his pillow so he can think about his hero. Be gentle, he's struggling to cope with the Facts that cortese clearly wasn't he greater chairman who ever lived.

Particularly like answer to the final question. His goals are all about improving and saints goals,not selfish ones.

People hated him because he wasn't Cortese. Rather than understanding that his walked into a sh*t storm, that Cortese was playing the media and someone internally was stirring behind the scenes at the club. Rather than cut him a bit of slack the knives were out and the spiteful nicknames were given. He's done a great job, proven himself to be a decent bloke who has genuine affection for the club. Which is more than can be said for the man he replaced.

i did tell him i was nicking it Bradley!

Do the Walter Mitty gag again!

No it doesn't. It's all about his recovery with a couple of lines at the very end about other clubs monitoring the situation, which is hardly news.

He is a talisman. When he scores we win. He is like what Ian Rush used to be at Liverpool.

Personally I preferred the days when the chairman said nothing leaving it instead to the players and manager to praise his hard work every single time they gave an interview.

If saints finish 6th and Liverpool finish 7th (with no Europa league or FA cup place) then Liverpool get to play their 'great European nights at Anfield' trump card with the media waxing lyrical about their great fans, amazing atmosphere, thought provoking banners and generally being great ambassadors for the English game* So unfortunately saints will have to step aside and allow Liverpool to take their rightful place in Europe. Plus saints didn't give Steve Gerrard a proper send off and didn't send him birthday presents, which in case you didn't know is on cup final day. * apart from heysel and the subsequent ban, which wasn't their fault anyway, it was Thatcher, The NF, Chelsea, the stadium, etc.

Okay so we want Chelsea to win the league cup and an arsenal/Man United v Liverpool FA cup final. Painful, but would mean we'd only need to finish 7th for Europe.

Also what happens if Chelsea win the league cup? Do spurs qualify for Europe anyway as runners up or does the place of to the 6th place team in the league?

That's superb pal.

Sounds to me like you've finally made it onto the board of a sports club. Well done.

If he's got anything about him as a bloke he'll extend his contract and stay for at least another season or two. He should be embarrassed if he f ucks off at the first opportunity after having a years pay, not to mention the medical and rehabilitation fees and treatment.
