Can he play up front?

I’d imagine it’s probably against the rules to play in football boots with those little height boost heels he puts in his shoes… allegedly.

He’s currently dealing spoons in a Turkish bizarre on the Silk Road. 

Cortese in Private Eye's Me and my Spoon...

Sure, all my spoons were bought with other people's money. But look at the quality!

Sure, staff will be fired for looking at my spoons funny. They haven't my cutlery knowledge, and can't be trusted to even clean them.

All spoon related damage to my desk or Benali's property was pre existing, and I accept no responsibility.

I have been invited to curate the spoon collections of many top European spoon clubs.

I mostly take the piss about Cortese on here, but I was struck by a post recently which said something like after Cortese's departure, staff felt they didn't need to walk on eggshells any more and things went too far the other way in becoming a free-for-all. Not saying I would have liked to work for him, but for all his faults, he had a vision of driving us to European qualification with everyone relentlessly pushing towards that, and we got there in part thanks to the rocket he put under this club. 

Whether the post is completely accurate or not, a change in attitude has been obvious to most of us for quite some time. For me it was when Krueger thought it was a good idea to inform us that we were just a small club. For others, maybe it was slightly earlier when Les Reed claimed that Pellegrino would bring us exciting, attacking football, when those who knew better warned that we would most likely only see that from the opposition. Compare and contrast with Cortese ruthlessly dispensing with far better managers for the betterment of the club.

I feel like there can often be a lot of luck involved in this sport and things can change very quickly, but this club hasn't been in the business of making it for quite some time. It was glaringly obvious last season, and it's still reflected in our league position today.

Cortese was not liked by most staff and i guess there is a slight point to the rocket, however the likes of Les Reed were doing all the grafting.

Cortese wanted to get asap back to the PL so he could sell the club and make millions for doing so.

 Only Kat Liebeerr hated him and the rest is history.

Ive said it many times on here, Cortese went out of his way to damage the club on the run up to his departure, the way he treated Benali was inhumane.

Fans got totally blindly by the PR from David Bick
