    Does this once and for all confirm Nicola Cortese is buying the players and not Adkins? I think it gives a good indication of exactly where he is in the clubs heirachy, tea boy and washing up lady.

    But the thing is, am I wrong? Is Adkins having any say anymore from at least where the players come from? I have been saying this for months even years and yet the clappers still dont see that Adkins is a patsy.

    Someone other than the head coach having a say in transfers? Holy ****! That only happens at, erm, almost every other club.

    For the millionth time, **** off gomarchingin.

    You lot should all go & work on how intolerant you are. Seriously, how does GMI bother you so much? His post is valid*, at least as much as any of ours.

    *well, bar the tea lady dig, thats just daft.

    Just once, I'm going to give you the benefit of a response. Adkins is not the tea lady or a patsy, or even the washing up person; please show some sensibility. Cortese is the chief negotiator at the club and without doubt is using his Italian influence. There may even be some truth in your suggestion that he is suggesting players that he could sign due to his relationships, however disrespecting Nigel Adkins is not called for, nor is suggesting he has no input. He is a good man manager and tactically is strong. He has proved over the 20 games we have played how quickly he has learnt in this league and our recent defensive record in the league has proved that.

    The players play for him; you can just see that. One day you may post a comment that is not an extreme.

    If cortese is using his links and contacts to sign italian players that otherwise we wouldn't be able to then great that's a big advantage! If it's a case of cortese saying hey I like italy I'm going to buy loads of italians and you have to play them then we would have a problem. But I'm pretty darn sure that't not the case there is nothing to suggest that NA and NC don't have a healthy working releationship so whats the point in the conspiracies?

    Unfortunately HR, any validity GMI has in a point of view is tarred my the extremety in which he delivers it. See my posty above and as I have done on many occassions, I often agree with his "general" point, but never the extreme manner in which he puts it over. Do you think Adkins is a tea boy, suggesting zero influence at the club? Didn't think so.

    Hahahaha! Lol at the responses. Calm down! You lot are going to have a heart attack if you aren't careful! I'm guessing that Cortese wants players from Serie A and wants to focus on that along with young English players or just simply young players. I'm sure he and Adkins will be looking at the best options from there together though to find an option that will make them both happy rather than Cortese just making bids out of nowhere without even communicating with Adkins.

    Cortese writes the cheques out, so yes he does buy the players. What this statement actually proves is that you are a very strange individual with an axe to grind. Why don't you test its edge on your throat, it must be sharp enough by now.

    His posts are sloppy, intolerant and deliberately antagonistic. If he wants to discuss SFC's recruitment policies and procedures then I am happy to do so but that is not his purpose. He has used this post to once more have a dig at Nigel who is undeserving of his insults.

    Once GMI has grown up a bit and learns some of the basic principals of debating such as how to present an argument instead of trying to cause one then I might like to treat him with just a little (mind you only a very little) respect.

    There is an obvious wind up there, but he never personally abuses anyone. I think perhaps he has become what he has been made, if you get my drift. Just don't get the anger. Its more daft than annoying.

    lol. You make me giggle. Still failed to answer my point. No need to thank me for respecting your opinion.

    Is Nigel Adkins just a teaboy?

    By the way, I am one you have referred to as a "clapper"... where's my denial?

    What point were you asking? I will be glad to answer, always do mate, just others see what they only want to see.
    Adkins is a patsy, I believe that firmly, moreso now as we keep heading to Italy, thats hardly a small coincidence is it? Can just imagine the bigs clubs exec lining up deals for Fergie and Wenger as opposed to scouts and tips from clubs.

    A clapper is someone who refuse to acknowledge that sometimes things go wrong and things need to be said, a clapper is one who burys his head in the sand and mumours
    "back to back promotions"
    "5 year plan"
    "No relegation under the Don as he promised"
    "European football"
    Such naive crap as that.
