I dont agree. The battle lines in this particular discussion were drawn by those decisions. Those who threw a paddy over them think NC is a prize c**t for sacking AP and it must have been totally undeserved. Those who were left unfazed by those decisions either think he has done the right thing, want to reserve judgement without the facts, and trust him to appoint a candidate capable of continuing with the club plans.

This. But no, some people would prefer b*tching about the installment plan or the booking fee or the car park.

Excellent summary. Been busy our Al, eh ?

Not particularly professional then, are they ? Seriously, I really dont get the whole fragile ego/emotional state bullsh*t with professional footballers. They live in big houses, drive big cars, **** gorgeous women. But they cant clear their minds for 90mins when being cheered on by a group of people a lot less fortunate than them, despite being so shallow the rest of the time to not even be able to put a suit on for a f**king funeral, for example ? FFs, we give these twots too easy a time of it.

Sounds very plausible.

Interesting. I got a huge amount of abuse for suggesting something similar last week. I was lectured about see him play first. Now we have...

Yeah, the millions in financing he played a huge role in securing for the club count for diddly-squat...

Cortese is at a crossroads in that his choice of manager will not only determine the fate of his chairmanship, but also possibly the fate of the club. I am shocked that he took such an immediate action without having a replacement lined up. It seems totally out of character. This is definitely a dangerous time for SFC. I couldnt care less about the rest of your post, which to me is a thinly-veilled personal attack on NC.

If he has, he had better start planning for the replacement of half the team when they quit.

If this was building up an a culmination of events, you are correct. If this was one gross misconduct incident from the end of last week or the weekend that caused this, then NC has behaved in a spotless manner, whatever the upheaval it has caused. And he seems to have been inferring this in the statement.

Yep. If the c**t was talking to Villa without permission, Cortese was spot on in what he did. And with the timing.

+1000. This thread is pathetic.

Well they want to f**king remember who f**king pays their wages.

What second leg is that then ?

Nutshell. Bunch of bloody Nancys.

This is as daft a post as we have had on the subject. NC has done NOTHING to court media attention; in fact I thought he was being slagged of for lack of communication ? This aint f**king Rupert Lowe we are dealing with.

A long way to go, but I agree it hasnt started well.

Talking to Villa without permission, defying the company (club) strategy and knobbing a female member of staff could all be considered to be gross misconduct.

Nutshell.

Only if he hasnt got a clue. If he has someone already, it will be announced tomorrow after this debacle tonight.

In fairness, he might not be permitted to do that.

Well the players need a rocket up their backside then. I can almost imagine the folded arms, the hunched shoulders, the sulky curled bottom lips...

This is a fair comment.

You know deep down that something like this has been on the cards since May, just like I do. The level of expectation, the shoe-in for promotion...it just aint us...
