Love him or hate him Cortese on a day to day CEO basis seems to be in a completely different league right now.

Good point

Exactly my thoughts.

Yes! Even Theo looks surprised that Hoddle knows something about the Italian team.

I agree with it. We are entering a crisis.

He's off for his bath now and a shave

Yep super sub Lambert. But he'll still get into double figures for Liverpool.

He always goes missing for 20 minutes. But I think he's done ok tonight.

We still have our players that's why. Watch them fall as the exodus begins.

He was a hockey coach - knows absolutely nothing about football, the Premier League or being a Chief Executive. Who the **** appointed this eejit?

Krueger was done like a kipper by Liverpool over Lambert wasn't he. £4m is frankly insulting. More I think about it angrier I've become. This guy is in the same league as Lowes appointment of Sir Clive Woodward and also Wotte. Clueless about football. Totally out of his depth.

Blimey - well he's now a doer and not a motivator! And a quick review of those message boards don't seem to indicate the fans were quite as strongly behind him as we were for MP or NA for example.

This. This is called strategic leadership, which to be fair to Cortese was not necessarily a popularity contest. Although our Board have probably cottoned on to that too now!

It is isn't it. The more I think about it the ore convinced I am that Liverpool are completely running rings around our negotiators. Who is doing it? Reed or Krueger?

http://fans.oilers.nhl.com/community/topic/13805-ralph-krueger/ http://fans.oilers.nhl.com/community/topic/14204-oilers-fire-ralph-krueger/ I hadn't realised he was sacked. All the stuff I'd seen before just had him as having been a hockey coach. To be fair I guess that every coach in every sport gets sacked on the odd occasion. What is it about this club and hockey - ice or field!? Seems to be unlucky. Was SMS supposed to be a hockey pitch once and then was cursed by witches or something when it went to football!?

Yep. That gets my vote. His reward for loyalty.

Does he speak English? If so, then we won't want him.

Absolutely. It feels like Lowe's first and second coming cock ups all rolled in to one.

Still my choice too - but I don't think we're even talking to him.

Its going to be Koeman - the reason? Les Reed bought in Poch with a history of bringing a club up from bottom half to 8th place - it worked. Koeman has a history of rebuilding clubs whose players have been sold off. Guess what? My bet is going on Koeman.

Are you sure? Really? After his last debacle at Swansea where he stopped attending training. Not for me. The way this week is going with Wreck it Ralf and the gang I guess he would be a better option than Wotte and his Total Football. What about Brendan Rogers? Save us sending them all to him after all. Could be cheaper?

Not at Saints.... Fonte will go to Hull!

We must - it's the one test I'm giving Reed - keep AL or he has failed. With the rest going we don't need to sell him and we mustn't

STOP PRESS - BBC just announced Saints and ManUre talking today on Shaw offer of £27m.
