Saying you want to achieve something but not actually being able to achieve it isn’t bullshit. It’s just not being good enough.

Attempting to deceive and mislead by speaking nonsense. Perhaps you have different bullshit where you are.

Yes but using your example he wasn’t deliberately trying to device was he?

He didn’t say ‘I want a winning culture’ and then decide he didn’t want one so decided to deliberately lose games did he?

He said ‘I want a winning culture’ because that’s what he wanted. He didn’t deliver but that’s bullshit is it?

I can say. I want to retire at 50. If I can’t afford to is the previous statement bullshit or just something I wanted to do but couldn’t?

[DiV]

Also, could go in the trivial things thread but does anyone else think we see way too much of our kit men these days?

Stop being so sensible Div, or should that be different bullshit?

Not for me at all but people seem to like them so fair enough.

Like Wellens then, difference being he was actually capable of doing the job and did so

I think all football managers WANT to create a winning culture. Actually doing it is the hardest thing. I don't think it's being full of crap, it's just not having the right ingredients to do it for whatever reason.

Ed Brand still not sorted then

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

Beyond a joke now. What on earth is going on at the club.

[Pookemon]

It's not necessarily the club though.   He's on the training ground but isn't allowed in the dug out for whatever reason.

FRIDAY STATEMENT

Swindon DNA stuff this.

https://www.swindontownfc.co.uk/news/2023/february/club-statement-an-update-on-assistant-head-coach-ed-brand/?fbclid=IwAR04_D-4uebam_l0wTko75rNIAg_MkFcbrzM17-ECSeXuEryHYv2NsRTh9g

Swindon Town Football Club would like to take this opportunity to provide fans and the media with an update surrounding delays in the appointment of our Assistant Head Coach, Ed Brand.

It’s been well documented over the past few weeks that since First-Team Head Coach Jody Morris took over, his chosen number two has been unable to fulfil his role at the club thus far.

Following Jody’s arrival at the County Ground, a secondment between Premier League side Chelsea, where Ed has been an academy coach since 2008, and Swindon Town, was agreed by both clubs.



Given the arrangement between ourselves and Chelsea, there is a detailed application process we must go through to comply with all contractual and legal regulations, which then requires sign off by the appropriate football associations and governing bodies.

In order to bring Ed into the football club at the earliest opportunity, we submitted these documents alongside Chelsea to the FA, Premier League and the EFL, but the approval process has taken longer than anticipated.


As a football club, we recognise the importance of completing all the necessary due diligence and ensuring this particular agreement meets all relevant protocols.

We will continue working with the FA and EFL in the hope we receive final written approval from both respective FA and EFL boards in due course.

Confirms the "on loan" secondment theory.

[tans]

So it is a secondment then.

[Batch]

Secondment.

What the actual fuck

[DiV]

So it is a secondment then.

Make sense after the first three games.
I wouldn’t be leaving a stable job at Chelsea to come sit next to Morris for a couple of months before being out of work.
