doughnutman Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Has just posted on Twitter: Good luck to Southampton today, a club who should be in the Championship but I fear for them under Cortese. Will be an interesting summer Anyone got any idea of what he means by this? Elliot Ward's agent perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Just an agent that didn't get all his own way with us I expect. Someone else with an agenda. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 He is correct. In that it will be an interesting summer As we build a team for Auto promotion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hypochondriac Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 I think it's because of Cortese's inflexible style which I suspect puts some players off signing for us. Cortese has shown that he is willing to change and he is still new at this job. As he says, the summer should we go up will be a very interesting indicator of where we are.

hypochondriac Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 Update: "re: Cortese, nothing personal so no dirt to dig, just I've never known someone make so many enemies in football in such short time!" That was probably a combination of the letter he wrote to all the other chairmen and things like that Coventry player thinking he had signed for us before we pulled out.

Matthew Le God Posted 2 May, 2011 Share Posted 2 May, 2011 (edited) that's not a genuine Twitter account I know for certain it is a twitter account of a genuine football agent.

OK then so he sounds credible. I hope we haven't made as many enemies as he says because it could potentially impede our progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoever, what credibility do you have when you are spreading stuff such as this about. You may as well pin the font of all knowledge on rocketswannie and have done with it. Why these muppets do this and what gratification they get is beyond me, more than likely because they have been told to **** off when trying the same act down the pub. I love all these muppets that line up behind such crap, a distant cousin of the no smoke without fire brigade for anything that lines up a tenuous view. What's the worse Cortese can do, put us back wkere he found us? Whilst in the mean time enjoying a very nice bus ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He left a letter apparently saying some insulting stuff but I can't remember exactly what. I think patred knows as he is involved with Ipswich.

Other clubs may make it more difficult for us to get a certain player we want for instance or ask for more money from us. Clearly you aren't going to please everyone but something like the chairman letter story if true (and have no reason to doubt Pat's connections) seems like we were being deliberately provocative. It was a while ago though so many things have been toned down since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note: I am not saying the guy is not an agent, but what sort of statement about Cortese was that? Very professional. So wind it out of your own personal echo chamber. He fears for Southampton this summer? The only real fear we have is if Cortese buggers off, not if he stays. Cortese puts an offer on the table to clubs and they can either take it or like it, if they don't take it they know Cortese will pull it at any time that suits the club. So any one who believes that Cortese is going to get a better deal by being liked needs their bumps felt. So some tin pot agent, more than likely the son of some hasbeen is not given the tme of day by Cortese, yippy fookin do. And if you are trying to say this is a class top agent, wtf is he doing posting crap like this on twitter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
