    Sky Sports also sent Jim White out to meet with Cortese and do a feature on pre-season in Austria which will feature an interview with Nicola. The footage is at Sky Studios, three hours of it, but is being cut down for a feature to appear in the coming days.

    Features interviews with Nicola Cortese, Mauricio Pochettino, Morgan Schneiderlin and Artur Boruc.

    Hopefully he's wearing a suit in the Sky Sports feature.

    It is interesting. The profile of the club is really taking off, and these occasional interviews with Nicola can only help in terms of getting the message in front of people. Like yourself, I can't wait to hear what he has to say for the future.

    I want to see all three hours...you know the unedited shots of Nicola picking his nose, Morgan in the shower....that sort of thing. But knowing Sky they will shorten it to a few minutes. Good for our profile to be raised, but wouldn't read more into it than that. It will be a puff piece with a few words that we can analyze to death over the next few weeks.

    Jim White is as good at interviewing as I am at liking the new kit.

    Just had preview on Sky. Jim White says, 'This is more like it' when he approaches the executive jet flying him to Austria. Nicola says team strong enough to be in top ten...top 10! He clearly lacks ambition!

    Seems to be unnecessarily justifying himself, when he really doesn't need to IMO. Actions speak far louder than words, so keep up the good work NC.

    Depends what he was asked. If he was asked about the adverse reactions to some decisions, then he'll justify his actions in reply.

    Hope this is not dominated by another dull MLT row again.

    Ok article, I like the fact he shows an interest in the football style and he has a vision. Some might fear this as interfering but for me it's overseeing. A fine line but a big distinction.

    Think Top 10 is ambitious but not an unrealistic target.

    'I am demanding, but I demand a lot from myself. I want to be an example to my staff and I don't tolerate anyone standing still.'

    This quote pretty much sums Cortese up for me, I wouldn't have him any other way.
