Whilst searching came across a piece written in May by someone who met Cortese at an awards dinner. Sorry if it's old hat, but I hadn't seen it before. He was told by Cortese that he never drinks beer but had one too many on the bus back from Plymouth and agreed to fund the trip to Vegas whilst under the influence.
I went on to Saintsweb earlier for the first time and it shocked me to see how much rubbish they were talking about Cortese.
So did I looking for info about dinner..that's 10 min of my life I will never get back. One person actually said that Cortese had done nothing because we'd made no progress since Markus died. Little matter of one promotion and top for 4 months seems to have passed him by.
What stopped people last time saying our club plans!?!? It's not like it makes national news so really it should just be posted.
There are posters with some sort of an agenda that frequent those forums. Bloody odd motivation they have if you ask me. There are some good sorts on there, as one or two are friends, but I stopped even visiting a long time ago.
If fatletiss hasn't written a summary by the time I get up tomorrow (lunchtime) then I am not going to be happy!
Guys, as Dan says it's just out of respect. I was award before going to the dinner from a conversation I'd had along time back with someone, that Mr Cortese was not impressed with the postings and stories coming out from within the club that ended up on another forum. I am not a club basher and would only post once given his acceptance of my writings. There is nothing drastic in them, just an insight to the man and his ways. I had a response back from his PA and she will be with Nicola on Monday, so you'll just have to be patient. One funny snippet though was when early on he looked at a list of people round the table and assumed that "Ali" was a lady and in fact it was an Alistair..... his next line??? "hey, I understand, people think I have a girls name too". He has a sense of humour! Patience my friends and before anyone asks, yes I could just post it if I wanted to, but I don't thnk that's right.
Yes, I don't think anyone should be complaining about FLT having not yet posted. Firstly he's under no obligation to post to us what he knows, and secondly I think he should be respected for first checking with Cortese that it is ok do so. Too many people reveal things that they probably shouldn't do, and in my book that is both disrespecting the club and abusing your position as someone who is fortunate enough to be in a position to be privy to such information.
Must be difficult for Cortese to watch what he says all the time. By the time one casual remark has been through several forums it will mean something entirely different.
Of course not. He would have a special forum-reading minion who'd give him the edited highlights every day....probably only amounts to a single sentence
