New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

[DiV]

Lead to believe the remit next season is to build a much more experienced and solid side, which is a start. Unsure how competitive the budget will actually be.

Next seasons remit is to make Jody Morris smile.
A tough ask.

The reality is that the best football address book at the club belongs to Morris. Stick him in charge of recruitment and he has a good calibre #2 to assist him with the first team.
Sounds like the new DoF might be more of a “football operations” type role.

The madness of Sandro was making him ruler of everything touched by the sun. As a “head of recruitment analysis” he’d have been much less contentious.

I’d be very intrigued to see his address book.
Terry (out of work I think)
Lampard (soon to be out of work)
Chelsea kids

…no doubt there is probably a lot more. Anyone else we know he’s played with / coached with currently employed somewhere.

Is your professional address book only people who you have been employed together with at the same companies at the same time?

Are you familiar with the concept of knowing someone who knows someone?

Yes, that wasn’t what I asked though was it.
I just wondered if anyone had other possible suggestions other than the obvious ones (which I pointed out)

I would be more than happy wit Russell. Knows football for a start, if it is him or an internal it will be with the managers say so though so thats a good start

Sorry if my sarcasm detector is off. You seemed to be suggesting that Terry and Lampard and a load of Chelsea kids would be the only people he knew.

I was just suggesting that he's more likely to be able to get on the blower to Pep et al for a youth teamer on loan than the SkyBet intern having actually played against the bloke and got his shirt back in the day.

No, I was just suggesting they were the obvious publicly well know close contacts of Morris. Wondered if there was anyone else / any other club we could find links with

I guess there will be loads of connections that only a mega spotter might know. For example I think Brewitt came to us because the Rangers Manager Michael Beale had been Brewitt's Liverpool Academy coach after spending a decade at Cobham just before Morris got back there.

Where’s this Sandro gone come from

Seems the world and his wife are ITK!

Terry (out of work I think)

“JT” has just got a job as part Dean Smith’s team at Leicester

[Outletred]

Clem has not delivered this season that’s for sure

Seems to me to be Power in disguise everything done on the cheap - we just seem to be a feeder club developing kids for other clubs. Not good enough to get out of a physical division as so many times this year been men against boys

Won’t sell season tickets without major wholesale changes - and yes I include jettisoning Morris in that- he is too much of a gamble and won’t in my view get us promoted

[ron dodgers]

It’s good that Ralph is finally out of the door, but I would assume this is a joke as that would really be the cheapest of cheapest options and no offence to Peacock but I’ve never seen him as a DoF type.

I love Anthony, he's a character!

Everything under Clem will always be the cheap option they don’t even hire staff for operational roles all on the cheap

[Mooneyraker]

If it is indeed true, I wonder if the club gets the Sandro news out before the Crawley game…?

Not a great look if that one turns toxic. Get the comms done now.
