Getting Chris Powell for our academy is a huge coup. Very well respected football man, both as a player and manager/ coach, tons of experience to bring to the fold.

We seem to be developing a thing for hiring either former Spurs players (Ledley, Mason, Archibald-Henville, think Anton Blackwood still does Spurs coaching abroad and with the women too) as well former non-Spurs players who are big Spurs fans (Powell, Matty Taylor). Not forgetting we had Scotty Parker and Rob Birch too before they left for Fulham. Always think it's good getting in people that know the game at various levels, from the Prem to League Two, it's all beneficial to the current players.

I saw Nigel Gibbs left again, this time to Cercle Brugge, he only rejoined us last summer, guy loves moving around lol. Think it's about 8 clubs in probably 10-15 years.

Paul Bracewell is someone else who has potential to be a real asset considering he's spent a lot of his coaching career in the lower tiers and has a few useful contacts there, most obviously Sunderland - and it has to be said player development is what he's staking his professional reputation on

It's a stupid format.
They have the fixtures during international breaks, so the players you'd want to play in them aren't there.
It totally defeats the point in the whole change from it being a piece of lower league silverware, which made perfect sense.

Considering they're scrapping FA Cup replays - which guarantees a National League club will get a home draw with Man Utd, get tonked 8-0, then have to fork over half the gate - why not come to the realisation that nobody would complain if the Season Killer Cup was scrapped, especially considering it bloats fixture lists in December-January and having a two-legged semi final is ****ing stupid

I think they've scrapped the two-legged semi-final. Most teams field weakened sides in it for most of the games, anyway.

This is not the season killer cup.
It is the cup where PL teams enter their U23 team against the football league first teams.

I know it isn't - and I know the reason we're pulling out of the EFL Cup is entirely because we have to play Season Killer Cup games 48 hours after Europa league ones

It would only have been for our academy players, but I guess they may now have to play in the League Cup.

Nice to see.

I still can’t believe he is no longer with us. He was in the fan zone in Madrid at the same time as me and although I didn’t see him, those I was with did and assure me to this day he looked as fit as a fiddle and was full of life. Dreadful shock to hear only days later he had passed away. Fantastic to see the good relationship between us and Orient continues to evolve.
