KDT Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Besides the Gomis stuff, what's this training ground noise Caulkin is tweeting about? Pards wants a new training ground, I assume with high fences as we've lost too many balls. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieT Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Besides the Gomis stuff, what's this training ground noise Caulkin is tweeting about? There are plans to 'rebuild it' just needs Ashley's approval. Pardew says that we have fallen behind top clubs in terms of facilities "especially water-based recovery and stuff like that". While I know very little about this kind of stuff, most Premier League teams have pools at the training ground these days don't they? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have blow up ice baths etc. Be good to get some upgrades mind; think Ashley has been fairly good on sorting out the training grounds to be fair.

littlelunchbox Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Besides the Gomis stuff, what's this training ground noise Caulkin is tweeting about? Advanced architectural boundaries aka 'brick walls', to stop spies finding out about the manager's 'tactics'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pools come predominantly into play in terms of working back from injury don't they? But yeah, hopefully it gets the go ahead. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could well have top level academy status actually looking around. We appear on ManU's fixture list - http://www.manutd.com/en/Players-And-Staff/The-Academy/Academy-News/2013/Jul/Manchester-United-Under-18-fixtures-2013-2014.aspx And after not hearing owt after the last round of judging The Mag came to this conclusion - http://www.themag.co.uk/the-mag-articles/exclusive-newcastle-united-get-top-academy-status-but-they-just-forgot-to-tell-us/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 hm weird, it was funny 'cause the bloke specifically went out of his way to say they'd failed "again"...seems not To be honest if we had passed last month, the Chronicle would almost certainly have been crowing about it. Barring any concrete evidence I'd not be surprised if 'bloke at work' was actually bang on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 he seemed very specific due to knowing the bloke from next door, will ask him about it next week when he comes back was also saying that the bloke told him he occupied about 4 or 5 different positions on the academy org chart in order to fills the boxes for the auditors, he couldn't possibly do all of the duties he should be Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Eh? Did I dream that article on .com explaining that we're in the top academy group this season? They then posted a list of fixtures - or was that just related to groupings rather than categories? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sh74 Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 I heard off friend of Graham Carr that Kinnear wants to swap over to the academy grounds as its more private and the academy over to first team training centre. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BottledDog Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 Been interesting on Twitter today. "Was with them in Portugal for 4 days & it was really encouraging. The Kinnear stuff is alarming." "Pardew & others need to find a way of 'controlling' JFK because he deals with Ashley." "He (Pardew) would walk if Kinnear interfered on training ground/dressing room - don't have any doubt about that." "I have very little doubt that, as things stand, if and when Alan goes, JK takes over." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted July 27, 2013 Share Posted July 27, 2013 he seemed very specific due to knowing the bloke from next door, will ask him about it next week when he comes back was also saying that the bloke told him he occupied about 4 or 5 different positions on the academy org chart in order to fills the boxes for the auditors, he couldn't possibly do all of the duties he should be I was told a few months back that one of the reasons they had failed back then the lack of personnel and people doing more than one job!!!! No idea whether that was true or not though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
