Transfer Rumours Summer '22 Transfer Thread

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Meyler get a role in the academy.

 

Although now he has opened his own new training school, I would think that might be unlikely. Would have been great though.

 

No role for ash yet?

 

Maybe tied up in his day job?

 

Anyone know who the two Dutch league midfielders Shota supposedly wants? Or is it bollocks?

 

Never mind. He signed for Cardiff on a free today.

 

He’d have been a very good signing, Kane Wilson league 2 POTY another who will be picked up for nowt by a championship side and most likely perform.

 

Might be worth looking at Dutch midfielders who’ve been in the Youth National team set up because of the Peter Van Der Veen link.

 

Bit surprised if Ash is into that kind or thing...

 

Ryan Gravenberch?

 

If Daws is 1st team coach what does the Dutch guy do is he assistant manager ?

 

Not being funny but it would be interesting to know what they all actually do. We've got Rodwell, Darnborough, Arveladze, Van der Veen, Dawson and probably a good few others aswell. I know there's a lot more than just the 1st team to be looked after but it would be interesting, to me at least...

 

1st team coach basically helps run training and provides tactical feedback during matches. Assistant Manager (PVdV) oversees training with the manager and also provides a second set of eyes during games.

Darnborough is head of recruitment, so he is tasked with building the squad, setting scouting assignments and generally overseeing recruitment at all levels. Chief scout reports to him. The manager tends to request targets be looked at and judged accordingly. LD will act as a go between between Shota and Tan/Rodwell who will pull the purse strings and give the go ahead/say no on potential transfers.

Tan/LD will do contract negotiations, again supplemented by recommendations from the manager, while Rodwell will no doubt oversee the commercial side of the business.

Basically, everything a manager does at lower levels of the pyramid, get slowly delegated the higher up you go. So for every coach/recruitment guy/scout it's one less job for the manager to do so that he can focus on the team.

Richard Naylor is the head of youth development, so he's basically the Youth Team version of Tan Kesler. Neil Sullivan (ex Scotland, Doncaster rovers, Spurs and Leeds) is the head of academy goalkeeping, which probably explains why we have so many good keepers coming through.

John Anderson is the U18s manager, with Billy Clarke (ex Ipswich, Bradford and Grimsby striker) as his assistant. We also have a really good up and coming coach in the U18s called Alex Trukan, who was the assistant manager at Stal Mielec in the Polish top division.

 

Interesting read, appreciated. How long has Trukan been here then and who brought him in?

 

He came in during the 20-21 season.

 

FC being taken to the cleaners by Saints. Like a hot knife through butter.

 

Excellent. Who says the post season is boring eh?

 

I googled Southampton to check the score and was confused as they aren’t playing tonight. That’s how irrelevant Rugby League is.

 

Get in. Hull City and St Helens for life!

Well if Hull F ****e and Liverpool is acceptable...

 

He said to Burnsey a whole back he is in the oil business now.
