Very true but a cool 1m up front for not working might just soften the blow. I think he’s a nice guy. That doesn’t mean he is a good manager.
failed is fine, but fake makes no sense if it failed. Bruce knows aye.... let's hope first and foremost that he keeps us up...
Owen Brown was Rafas advisor and chief liason officer at Liverpool. He tried to bring him here in 2016. He's essentially Rafas Graham Carr. Frank McParland recruited Wisdom, Kelly, Flanagan, Rossiter, Ibe and Sterling at Liverpool when he was head of the academy and Scott Hogan, Jake Bidwell and Andre Gray at Brentford. If the rumours are true that the Saudis are prioritising ramping up our development of young, cheap players, this makes a lot of sense.
He will. He’s done an ok job for what he has at his disposal. Would I trust him with 200m? Probably not. Can he attract top top players? Probably not. But then if we had a world class DOF then he won’t be involved anyways. Brings the question, is he a good man manager? I reckon he possibly is.
I never fly AA as their beers in the lounges are poor standard. I try to fly BA or KLM as their choice is better.
