It’s not so much that he’s against living or working down south. He’s a southerner after all. It’s more to do with uprooting his family to move closer to Plymouth. Him being sacked by City will likely have a massive effect on him and show how precarious being a football manager is. If I was in his shoes, I’d wait for a job closer that I could commute to whilst my family stays put rather than having to move my entire family to a fringe region of the UK, especially since I could be sacked after a year if it’s not going well. He’s got daughters of secondary school age and a young lad as well I think. I imagine they’re quite settled wherever they are (still Derby I think?).
I think Liam children are of an age coming up to their exams, so I don't think he would want to move schools, so a job commutable from the Derby area I would think would suit him.
HDM - "We have a recruitment team of 10 people travelling all around the world, in Europe, and in Africa, they watch a player live five times. How can your coach watch him? Our recruitment team will decide, we will ask the coach 'do you like him', 'yes', then we will finish (the deal)." So, why wasn't Pandur given game time to prove himself? If he looked poor on the training ground fair enough but why sanction the transfer in the first place? Does the recruitment process really work like that?
I googled it. From an article in 2017, he said he had 4 daughters, eldest was 18 and youngest was 6. His youngest would be 12 now. Don’t know how old the middle two daughters are but they might be still in secondary.
Didn't one of his kids have a bit of a dig about his dismissal on social media somewhere? Sure I read it on here, but didn't see a link.
Just realised he must’ve had his first child at 15. EDIT: his eldest daughter (24 now) is his step-daughter, apparently. So he didn’t become a dad at 15. His missus might be older than him.
Certainly at least one was born in Ferriby, which would have been 10--12 years ago, other I am not sure, but I seem to remember him saying he would not leave Derby area as it would affect his kids schooling.
Take your own advice. Even Howden who backs you on most things agrees he had clearly improved over the course of the season. He was not absolutely fine against Rotherham.
You 2 argue to your hearts content but Leave me out of things Syd. I don't have sides, I just give my own opinion
It always seemed an odd signing to me. I know some fans wanted a new keeper at that time but it was obvious that LR was happy with Allsop and Ingram so I couldn't make any sense of why we were signing another one. This was before there was any suggestion of us making "club signings" and "Liam signings". Certainly seems like LR never wanted him.
We're not going to know about Pandur until we actually see him. If we ever do. The new manager might not rate him either.
