Spot on.

We did better than West Ham... oh.

Agreed, getting Sc*nthorpe promoted is definitely the better achievement.

What if the manager is nobin the centre backs missus?

Don't most managers "fail" anyway? Who'd have thought a manager who failed at WBA would then win the Champions League Basically what I'm saying is that these type of comparisons are bollix. It's all about the individual and because of that I think Nigel is still the man for us.

would love to know how much Victor C has taken on this market.

He is not unique among football chairman.

Why does being a paying season ticket holder make a jot of difference? If anything, STH cost the club. I don't get why some STH feel they operate on a different plane and are worthy of different "PR". This is just a Cortese bash thread with little substance to back it with.

"Positive PR" can come when team matters are sorted out and when our recruitment process is getting who we want. You can have all the Positive PR you like when the fundamentals are in place. Positive PR is in fact nonsense, define anything PR and all you are doing is bumping up something that is in fact quite ordinary. Positive PR is fast becoming the stick to beat Cortese with - should you desire. Not me, you can keep all the PR to one side - it's bull dung.

Haha - i think you need to have a read on how the Secret Service used to operate before comparing the club to that organisation. Injury news is kept secret for obvious reasons. Personally I don't care what the clubs relationship is like with media outlets like The Echo. Some do but those numbers are declining. I don't know what "trick" you are referring too. Minor grumbles, room for improvement no doubt but maybe bigger fish to fry at the moment.

AND they would sort the clubs PR out too!

Brede Hangeland?

Where does this belief come from that NA and NC / LR had differing lists of players they wanted to sign?

Re-re-wind Think it was this point that I pointed out the excellent signing of David Luiz. Keep digging though TCM, you've broken through the Desperation layer.

Looking for closure a bit quick eh? According to you... Chelsea spent £25m on a headless, foreign chicken with no premiership experience expecting him to come good because he was surrounded by players with premiership experience. I won't go down in internet history as the first and last person that you outwitted.

Stop digging TCM, you've already reached your target depth of desperation.

Hi Alps - can you try resending the PM with your apology and rescind your claim of myself being the fool here as the PM doesn't seem to have come through. Lots of love, NNC

I hope this is fairly low down on your list of concerns as I can't see it changing for the foreseeable future.

Not sure what "PR Management" has to do with this. If the club needs to get a message out then there are many more appropriate and efficient ways than using a local paper to do so. Unless it is actually believed that the club not talking to the local paper is bad PR??

The Echo reneged on an agreement with the club. The role of the local paper is diminishing, whoever within the The Echo decided to go against the clubs wishes basically cut the papers own throat. The club may look petty but the Echo look very dumb in all of this.

Sir Alex Ferguson didn't speak with the BBC for years.

As I type 75% of the 800 respondents from Saintsweb forum back Nigel - given our current circumstance that is as clear an indicator of the fans opinion of the man that you will see. Maybe I'm having a sentimental moment but that does make me a bit proud of what our club is and what our supporters believe in.

J-rod is probably better in defence

Thanks for clarifying WG :toppa:

Delldays - TCM posed the question as to why Chelsea had not gone out and spent £30m and bought a CB from Juve or Real... I wondered if the £25m they spent on David Luiz from Benfica counted.
