I can imagine Harry Reed and Matt Targett practising their full repertoire of sayings, from Allo allo. I hope there's a camera present, should he ever say "Listen very carefully, I will say this only once". Did I hear correctly (I'm a deaf old codger) but in response to the final question, did he start with "In 3 years? Merde", before continuing, or was it more a "meh".
So, solid yet unspectacular, he loves entertaining football but he is also realistic. Does very well with academy players. I hope his time here is not dictated by the players coming through, because I think that would be pretty unfair on him. Harrison is the only one who I see making a breakthrough this season. In saying that, there was no real opportunity for the youngsters last season, so they will all be doing their up-most to force their way into the fold.
Claude seems to see Pascal as the key to young player development....so I guess it is important he gets a raporte with the Academy staff.
