If he came to the Valley for an interview he'd be surprised to see tiny white flecks all over the north end of the pitch, where they've run the lawn-mower over the remains of the sofa. I wonder what our "CEO" would come up with if he asked what it was?
I know all about that mate! One person who is pro Roland and anti protests has even described the possible signature of a league 2 manager as 'putting the cat amongst the pigeons' Ffs
Was that SeriouslyAnal by any chance Wilder is said to be a fiery character. Lets see how he responds when he gets the first phone call from Meire which starts off with "why don't you try this player..."
If true this is AMAZING news. Win win for us...!! Even if he does **** off out the door in August he won't hesitate to tell anyone that'll listen of the malpractice in place
My view exactly Mike. We'll sign a couple of targets early doors like last summer, then be told we're over budget, make a half hearted attempt to sign someone below the asking price and behold, Chris Wilder walks head first into the brick wall that is the Charlton recruitment policy.
It's quite simple, you google the list of players available, with the setting "lowest price and lowest wages first", and hey presto, up will come names like Simon Makienok, Roger Johnson, etc etc etc etc....................................................................................
That's sort of what I do on Football Manager, although I also require them to have aggression of 16 and above. I dream of a team of Ben Thatchers.
yes, but even after doing that you should go watch them a few times. the players we sign were probably never watched
Quite right. Arsenal scrapped their youth system because the gap was too wide to bring players through, so we scrapped our scouting system because all the potential targets were injured or not good enough to play football anywhere on earth.
To paraphrase the Edwin Starr song War: Scouts, huh, what are they good for Absolutely nothing - say it again Scouts, huh, what are they good for.. ... oh, wait http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football...ecruitment-steve-walsh-agrees-new-contract-a/ Steve Walsh, the man behind the key signings of Riyad Mahrez and N’Golo Kante, has agreed a new contract in another huge boost for Premier League champions Leicester City. Walsh has been responsible for the astute signings of Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante Walsh and joint assistant manager Craig Shakespeare are both expected to officially sign new deals this week and pledge their futures to Leicester after months of negotiations. After discovering the likes of Mahrez and Kante, plus England international Jamie Vardy, head of recruitment Walsh’s reputation has soared and Leicester have moved to reward him for his achievements. Walsh’s scouting team has suffered the departures of Rob Mackenzie and Ben Wrigglesworth to Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal respectively over the last 12 months but Walsh has confirmed he will be staying. OK, Vardy, Mahrez and Kante but apart from that - Scouts, huh, what are they good for, don't need them.
The opening paragraph sums it up perfectly. Duchatelet may have made the right noises/offered Wilder a big increase as bait, but let us see if the geezer(or whoever comes in) will be here by Christmas. F****** nonsense of a football club at the moment, these f****** could not run a bath.
