I hope he gets some sort of responsibility for the academy in addition to being the ass man

They might be our scouts, except they are a player management service with multiple clients at the tournament. Also they are not our scouts. Probably why I recognised the name then...Well perhaps I've identified the wrong agency, but we definitely outsource so our name was never going to be on the list.

New Breed Sports Management are our scouts, so we are there.

In talks with Ladislav Krejci - if Pavel Srnicek is to be believed...

The media are still allowed in the newsroom. The just have not paid for the privilege

Is Woodman jr. really any good? Honest question. He's the No.1 for whatever England youth teams he is at. So for his age you would have to say so.

Bobby Robson rejected the job twice. After Keegan left, and before we came back with an improved offer when he was actually appointed. Bobby Robson was at Barcelona. Steve McClaren was at Derby County. Just let that sink in. He was unemployed for the second rejection. It's in his book.

It was quite trade focused. This Japanese man designed the new subway vehicles, this Japanese man is working on a cure for cancer at Harvard etc. Please trade with us. Same week Japan came over to see Obama to mark VJ dAy

Clearly the World Cup should stay with AFC, perhaps a staunch US ally from the region with recent experience in hosting this kind of tournament could step in... Aye, Japan all the way. Sick of shite no mark countries getting the nod Walked right into that one To be honest the Americans hate the Japanese. Seventy years after the war and the Japanese still buy adverts on TV channels in the states to try and show they are no longer the enemy. ...I'm pretty sure that's not true It's blatantly not true I saw the advert!

Probably just some random Japanese group being dafties. It had their Prime Minister in it and government logos everywhere!

You'd assume Russia is too far gone to have anything changed unfortunately but I think 2022 will get re-run. Have a European World Cup 2018

To be honest this may still be all part of the master plan. If he stood down before the election the Jordanian prince would have won by default and have a mandate to root out the corruption. By winning the election And then resigning he allows others with an interest in protecting old FIFA to stand for election. Next one might be a Blatter puppet.

I really wish I hadn't used my real name on here, everything is so much more hurtful. I know the feeling. Let's call each other Dave from now on!

We don't need someone who has had a good track record We need someone who is going to have a good track record.

Although I doubt very much he would do that in the senior team, sounds like he is focused on improvement rather than winning with the youth teams which is positive.

Well we can't have more than 25 players, so if we need 10 we will have to sell a few first. we'd have to sell a few, thats for sure, we wouldnt have to do it first though. Agree, however from what we have seen with this club, they won't do it. Only vacancies will be filled.

It wasn't, because Swansea sacked him ASAP and replaced him with unproven Garry Monk.

Laudrup is a sexy name but if you see the reasons he was sacked at Swansea he isn't worth it.

I don't really understand why some would not touch an unproven manager. We could go proven and get proven mediocrity. Proven quality is probably hard to attain. There are a few names left but you could argue even Garde is unproven. The good proven managers were at some point unproven and we aren't a successful or stable enough club for an unproven manager to be beneath us. Every good manager ever to exist was at some stage unproven. Keegan, the best NUFC manager in our lifetimes was unproven.

There are always options but are they attainable? Of those that are I'm not sure they are going to achieve much more than mid table and more apathy. Newcastle and Vieira might not have much affinity yet, but I see him as someone with the pedigree to wake the club up.
