Cortese = Lowe + money.

 

Not that I am complaining mind. I thought Lowe did a very good job here just as Cortese is doing.

 

The problem is that both have a terrible grasp of PR. Which is weird as to sweet talk a football fan is the easiest thing in the world. (if in doubt just ask Mikey (Saints Go) Wilde)

 

It's a shame that Lowe's appaling PR with the fans with always overshadow his acheivements here. He took a club with a run down ground, academy that had done nothing since the Wallaces and playing squad just about the worst ever in the Prem (bar one player) which was a purpetual relegation candidate and turned it into a club capable of competing in the Prem League in the 21st century.

 

I cannot think any sane fan would look at our squads from the late 90s and say that apart from MLT we would have been relegated. The writing was therefore on the wall that as soon as MLT's powers on the pitch wained we would get relegated. However, after the takeover, the setup put in place by Lowe actually meant the club improved even tho MLT's influence got less and less. Under Hoddle and WGS we were a top 10 Prem club and reached the Cup final. This was a pretty good achievment given what Lowe inherited and also the fact that we were one of the few Prem teams not able to run at huges losses due to being subsidised by a sugar daddy....
