True But honestly if you hear the noises then it sort of makes sense, i know people that have left (and they do have the hump) and people that are still there. When you filter them together and think about it you get the truth. I honestly think Cortese is a hard task master, which could be seen as bad of course it will, but in equal measure he rewards hard work and ambition and wants people around him that equally want success for themselves and want to move on. Peoples opinions in conjunction with working with him are made up dependant on their mental make up and whether they are just at work for an easy buck or to actually work hard and progress.

Being a decent manager you can't be a mate to everyone, you just end up looking like David Brent. Problem is being a director will automatically put you in more or less a lose lose towards the staff as if you are too nice/appeasing then you get nothing out of your staff in the form of production/progression. Too hard and you get a small amount of vociferous staff members who hate not having the easy life they once had. It all depends on the sort of person the staff members are, personally i would much prefer to have a manager/director that awards progression and ambition and generally gets the best out of you then one that is scared to change things is not progressive and generally lets staff skills stagnate into a laid back and uncaring mess.

He threatened to judo chop Blatter if they didn't give Russia the WC, he just turned up to remind him of the threat.

No its fine i will. I mean whats the point in responding to you in the first place ?? You rarely if ever have anything remotely interesting to say except for 'thats what i thought' after a vital piece of ITK info, act as the forum snitch and are generally a strange individual. I was happy with the original arrangment you asked for TBF in the fact that we would ignore each other, but seeing as you seem incapable of that can't you just press the ignore button ??

I am just not going to bother if its all the same to you Love how you have jumped on Dune's insult and carried it on as your own though inventive

Touche

That is pretty harsh mind. I might report you in the interest of public offence

There are even some that if you made the slightest dig in their general direction they will report you

Mourinho would be crap at interviews in league 1

Pretty much what i have heard, which appears to be what others have heard (see Derry's post) But don't let that get in the way eh ??

Pardew did give a more intelligent sounding interview TBF, but IMO Adkins seems more human and approachable. Either way, interviews after games are pointless garbage, no manager ever wants to be dragged infront of the media after games.

Much rather think they were butt f*cked in a closet ?? As it sits nicely with the little anti-NC vibe you have got going

Pretty much

Yeah i won't lie it did wind me up a little. Weellllll He is our commander and chief.

I have heard the same, he is demanding and doesn't put up for slackers or people just there for an easy life. Easy to see how that would get peoples backs up, especially if they end up unemployed. I have also heard good things in the fact that he rewards forward thinking and ambition along with good work ethics. How is that a bad thing ? Surely thats what work should be ?

I don't say that Nicola is a god, nor do i think it, infact i wasn't even going to bother writing on this thread before they posted their rather predictable drivel, it is a decent enough gesture and should have been done sooner in all reality. It just annoys me that any good the man does is twisted and anything he ever does that can be twisted into some sort of evil plot will be. And from what basis ??

Its also so so so easy to sack people without having to go through a tribunal these days, so easy

Nice gesture, should have come sooner. I wondered how long the thread would be hijacked by Smears and Docker, and also intrigued at how they would spin it into an anti-NC post. I am impressed.

My thoughts exactly. Who was up for 2022 ?? I know USA was another

No way, the world should revolve around league 1 !! After all the best PL players wouldn't cut it in league 1

Obviously talented, although i don't know if he is as talented as his hype and no where near as highly as he clearly rates himself. Watching the highlights of the Man City Uefa cup game he clearly doesn't want to be there any more. Off in Jan ? My bets are he will get a cut price move away in the summer and will be the next biggest w*nker in football for a long time.

I can concede the points if all this was in hindsight, and i do agree with you it appears that we have been screwed over in the fact that we only got 2 votes. My point however is all the boll*cks before had that pretty much expected us to win it as if we have some sort of devine right.
