I know there is a consortium who have enquired about the club. I know because the ex player who told me has been asked by the consortium to have a role if it ever comes to fruition *ducks for cover.
He's right though. There is no way they will liquidate the whole club due to one player's wages. If he holds out they will eventually give him more favourable terms. He is the shrewdest one there.
Cortese himself says that he can't sleep before games and has a terribly emotional reaction to results. I'm also half Italian so no stereotyping going on with me. I know what they are like!
Oh did Greece win a world cup, Euro and come second in the world cup as well? Maybe once yeah but she has won the worlds and got a first and second in two separate olympics. If that isn't world class then I don't know what is.
You are completely correct. Please please do not think that hitting your child is something that is acceptable in British culture. The vast vast majority would consider it abhorrent.
Real admiration for her. Arguable that she isn't world class though considering she is a world champion and has a silver and gold in the olympics. Does save it for the championships though.
