He was obviously off his head. All he had to say was that she was the owner's wife and asked to wish the team well. He tied himself up in knots trying to justify himself. Shows the wisdom of Cortese's vow of silence...there will be no recordings of him ranting away whilst under the influence of Chianti
Well he's apologised, but the damage is already done Eddie. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17168996
Why do I have an image of her being pissed as a fart and making a scene and the Bournemouth players thinking what the **** is this mad bint up to? The whole bournemouth boardroom probably stinks of stale booze, vomit and urine... and thats on a good day.
Yeah it's amazing that she was allowed to go anywhere near the dressing room at HALF-TIME. I'd be furious if I was managing that team.
They should have cut him off the moment he slurred "interpretatered". He sounded like Barry Fry after a case of scotch.
I can't see what the fuss is about her visit, she just wanted to wish the team well, no big deal. His rant although inapropriate was quite funny at the time bearing in mind our little run-ins with him. He showed himself up as a fool on live radio. Luckily the Sun has played everything down http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/4154719/Foul-rant-hits-606.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News He should be run him out of town says the only fan they could find, but that is taking things a little too far for most Cherries who could only manage a brisk walk at the best of times.
Eddie's just bought The Bay radio station (Poole & BoMo) and has renamed it Hot Radio. He lives in Sandbanks, he builds million(s) pound homes, he's just bought 'Mezza Luna' a restaurant on the water in Poole Park, he's renamed it The Boatshed. He own's a good part of the Cherries. He really doesn't give a flying fig about what people think of him. He's not my cup of tea, but he gets things done.
Have to admit, I giggled at that. I know that makes me seem ageist, but at 53, I'm getting the laughs in while I can.
