New beginnings - 25% Truth, 80% Bollocks

There'll have been plenty of times when someone will have left a youth academy to join a lower league side with a "you're welcome back if it doesn't work out" type agreement. I can't see why it needs to be more formal than that though.

What the fuck.

Should have just appointed Artell ffs, this is a farce.

Fuck Off, embarrassment of a club

I see PSG are sharing their Football Advisor with Celta Vigo so we appear to be following a trodden path.

Eh, what?

Secondment implies still employed by Chelsea.

If I were hazarding a complete and utter guess I'd say we can't afford to buy out his contact or whatever and that we have come to an agreement such that "secondment" means we can somehow employ him after that (maybe he's resigned or maybe it gets around some sort of wage cap)

But a true secondment makes no sense

Shop for a manager in Selfridges, attempt to do the same with the assistant but baulk at the cost and dive despairing  into the middle of Lidl aisle and try and do something obscure.

At least its comms of sorts.

Cynic alert - announcement delayed until after the monthly AB meeting to give them time to come up with something good to fend off the BARRAGE of queries coming their way.

If you disillusion a lot of the more challenging fans to the point they can't be arsed anymore, you typically go unchallenged anyway. The Lee Power method.

Football side of things is just getting more embarrassing by the day isn’t it? Probably an insult to non league teams to say we’re operating like a non-league club but we’re certainly not coming across as geared up for league football.

[ChalkyWhiteIsGod]

Just appoint a manager with his desired backroom and give him a reasonable budget. If he's successful, you'll make money selling players while you do well.

All this shit with academy coaches and implementing tippy tappy posession shite with a technical director spiv and his magical spreadsheet is just trying to be clever about it all when clearly, it is anything but.

I would love to know how loaning a coach works.
Are we paying his wages? A % of his wages?
Is it a fixed term?
How easy is he to send back when we sack Morris? Or would he still be here afterwards?
Can Chelsea recall him? Does he even work here for full time?!
In the highly unlikely event Morris someone comes in for Morris and we decide to take the money does Brand go with him? Do we get compo? Does Morris new club loan him from us who have loaned him from Chelsea? Or would we be stuck with a coach who didn’t want to be here who we don’t actually employ?

…isn’t there anyone else Morris wanted to / could have bought in, in the short term whilst all this shit was being sorted out?

This does not feel like a long term solution with any stability to it what so ever.

Poverty behaviour

Becoming evident that the club has no money. Another embarrassment for us

I wonder if Jody Morris is on loan from the job centre
