Actually there is much debate as to whether being a sociopath makes you mentally unhealthy. Many consider it a strength or a superpower (or at least a sociopath would and would certainly not be offended since they are incapable of that emotion.)

Great article totally agree.

Few others get free tickets also. Bit of a one rule for one policy.

As opposed to the essay we received from nicola on a regular basis?

What I would like is some sort of commitment other than not selling players. Still this is good news though.

Hate to labour the point, but a sociopath would never want to be answerable to anyone...

I went to Thailand for three weeks and Australia. Had to return from Australia after three weeks as I had an illness in the family. The timing sacked but I'm glad I returned when I did because it wasn't fun when I found out. Blew a couple of grand going over there but that's life!

Not all CEOs are Psychopaths but many are and many can cause an awful lot of damage. I agree with the view of the author who believes they are a malevolent force in society who should be avoided. One of her main arguments are that whilst they may bring success to a company initially, they will always end in failure eventually since they only care about themselves. I suggest you read the book I posted up earlier for the details since it is fascinating (and we'll reviewed) or anything by Hare.

Because he is a sociopath! Because Sociopaths crave absolute power and will not concede to anyone. It's so very clear that you traits that made us successful also led to his downfall.

I Well I have met him once but you don't have to have spent time with the man to see those traits in abundance. I mean I've never spent any time with Steve jobs but he was clearly a psychopath you can look at the evidence and judge. Pochettino himself stressed his charisma and charm. Numerous actions point to his ruthlessness and I would argue the grandiose sense of self worth is clear in many things, mostly recently those doom articles in the paper. You don't need to have met someone to be able to judge the likelihood of them being a sociopath through their actions. I suggest you read up on it if you are interested since you don't seem to understand what a sociopath is.

I would be interested to hear your counter argument as to why he is not a sociopath.

Sociopaths can't help it it's just who they are. Successful leaders sure but they always have that side to them which is their undoing in the end.

Eh? One of the main traits of a sociopath is being charismatic and popular on the surface. A high percentage of them are tend to be leaders and heads of organisations. Read the descriptions in that book and tell me it doesn't sound exactly like nicola. What do you reckon he would score on hare's psychopathy test? Grandiose sense of self worth, charisma, charm, ruthlessness! It's all there.

Read this book and then you will understand why he had to leave : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/0767915828

Cortese in my opinion was a classic sociopath. The problem is that there is nothing more dangerous than a sociopath with power and so it has proved. It always ends in tears. It's why he didn't care about the club, only himself and why he was described as charming and charismatic but also ruthless and impulsive.

Well said. Never go back.

Ah well he has gone now. Draw a line and move on.

A very even handed article. Kudos.

Indeed. I can see a few on here determined to unsettle the new regime already. Pathetic really.

Just because some are determined not to be together as one and to support the club in this decision doesn't mean we all should. There will always be those dark elements trying to destabilise things.

Pointless thread.

Who said anything about managers or chairman? Odd.

I love that you say you either love or loathe him then you say you are in the middle!

There is so much wrong with that post I don't know where to start. You are so wrong with what you say.
