Super Duper Branko Strupar

fix that quote so it can go in the ace posts thread

He's still at the training ground apparently. He was already there when Staveley and Jamie Reuben arrived but none of them have left yet. Hes apparently locked himself in the cold store and wont come out.

Splat. "Oh, wait, Nadia, don't go." Splat.

Surely Gallardo has to be a consideration? Bout time he left River.

International cup and domestic league title winning manager Hernan Jorge Crespo is available...

He needs to try harder.

This is a really good point actually. Think the idea was for Rafa to pretty much take charge on setting everything up and bringing in the people he wanted, and with he takeover slowing down considerably and Rafa going elsewhere, once it went through all of a sudden they had to start from scratch with alternate plans perhaps. Aye. This club either needs a manager like Benitez, who is knowledgeable, adept and experienced enough to not only manage the team on the pitch, but essentially the club, or a structure in place to run the day to day off the pitch and have a manager who focuses on just the team. With Benitez no longer an option we either have to find someone as good, as willing, and as able to bring good people with him, which is unlikely, or get in management staff such of DoF, technical director etc and a new manager for them to work together. Which is going to take time. Given it sounds like Staveley and Reubens got a call on the Monday or Tuesday about the takeover potentially happening, to then confirm it on Thursday, that's not much time to solve those issues. Especially when plan A went out the door and it doesnt sound like they felt any need for further planning, given they were all set to return to the courts in January. I'm sure it's frantic trying to get an initial structure in place. They're starting from absolutely nothing and the urgency is pressing.

Karen Brady is no more than a reality tv star.

Difference is we can afford to buy ourselves out of them Thats not always possible, or even the best idea. It also would go against what theyve claimed their MO will be. Sometimes spending time s better than spending money.

Its been like 9 days, man. Its the pits now because it was the pits before. We're just seeing it all now. You dont undo all that damage in a working week.

Fucking silly season now. I wish I could hibernate and wake up when we've appointed someone.

Man Tierney how did you miss?

Keeper totally missing that.

Good thing Arsenal turned that corner and got good.

That's both lovely and sad at the same time.

Still in. Any idea on colours? Will there be bibs? Has BJ requested Shirts v Skins yet the absolute fiend.

I have Adidas Salas that I find canny wide. Might be worth a look.

Iwobi has never once looked like a good footballer.

This is exactly what we should be doing as a club. Supporting the local youth clubs and leagues. It'll only benefit us in the long term.

Did they say why?

Rafa is a club manager and he turned Lascelles in to a club player. Just goes to show how shallow Bruce's thinking is that players who used to embrace so much now offer so little.

She's mint. Talks more sense than most other football pundits.
