he has two performance indicators: 1) team performance - promising, been heading in right direction since here still early days. 2) crowds - are very good therefore fans are happy. Could give a f**** how popular he is with some chairman etc (two examples were cherries - who lied and didn't pay his bills, and Sc*nthorpe chairman who was also caught out lying.)

why inferior? THey will probably be able to get exactly the same view. I actually like moving seats for cup games for change.

which is either some random incident we know nothing of (which may fit in with strange timing) or just lack of working relationship with Cortesse, and as at every club the solution is always going to be new manager

they would be tho if manager is.

again, another source saying management team demotivated - had to go unfortunately.

if what you are saying is true, then clearly Pardew and his team had to go. You cannot have a demotivated management team. looking forward...

what on this forum...surely not!

I don't think there is team in CCC which can compare with both our support and rumoured financial backing. A few have crowds around ours, most a lot lower, and of those think most are in debt. QPR have money behind them but not well supported.

Adkins had team safely in middle of championship, with crowds of 5,000 and no investment.

it is non-issue and if floridamarlin is correct Cortesse hasn't been petty, so why criticise?

it doesn't matter. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/8622311.Saints_tame_the_Shrews/ echo seem to have been free to print story and photo!

tell me then, how so?

it appears totally unneccessary for them to dig at the club - yes.

so?

how many people have neither internet nor tv but are avid saints fans buying echo? of those how many buy for reports, interviews, rumours, player ratings? how many would even notice if there was a picture of Hammond tackling someone from a recent game? of those how many would be worried whether an echo photographer or an agency one took that pic? Even if Cortesse was in the wrong, it does not matter!!!! BUT the only poster in the industry posting states Cortesse is not in the wrong. The like of Andy Porter, hypo, docker p , etc are looking to find a reason to moan about the club when it doesn't exist. Says more about them than Cortesse

they're dead? how come they are doing this show?

don't those moaning even convinced themselves!

and didn't Leeds lose a ok forward?

they sit at home, waiting to see a pic of Hammond putting in a tackle (only want it if its taken by echo photographer though)

you must be deluded!

Leicester only just about match our crowds at the moment.

if we are challenging in championship we will get crowds of around 26,000 - which will be right at the top of the league. we will be debt free - many of those clubs are heavily in debt how many teams with parachute payments recently compete to go back up? Don't know why its nonsense

probably about 3 in top ten

look at the clubs at the top at the moment - how many can compete with us?

there are.
