**** me their should be loads of applicants from these forums then. There are plenty that think they can run things better.
So the post of Academy Manager will be the big chief of the whole Academy. for the future of our club, this is a very significant appointment. And likewise if I'm reading it correctly, a Head of Player Recruitment for the whole club, not just the Academy. This is the person, with a team of scouts etc., to be created to find the talent for Bristol City and supply whoever is in charge of the Football side, at present a Manager, but in future could be called Head Coach of Football. This is a radical shift in finding new talent from byegone days when the Football Manager organised all of this activity via a chief scout, who was usually a very close friend of his or family member as with the Johnson's. Whatever happens for the remainder of this season with the first team and that is vitally important, the base is being laid for a future at City that is aimed at much more certainty than the hit or miss methods of the past, both long time ago and much more recent. Steps in the right direction.
Yes i'm sure Yate and Congressbury are crawling with International class football coaches God help us ! No doubt we will find an option which will not cost a great deal of money, after all we need all our cash to pay Fontaine and Nyatanga's wages. If you settle for Div 1 quality you will get Div 1 players, and this club will remain there for another 30 years. Arrested development
Well i can think of three that should apply, anyone on here know who they are ? PS, i will give you three guesses.
AD Now I wonder, might one be me ? Have I ever been wrong ? Ok Yes, you've shamed me - possibly once. Chris Wood (can't trap Cement) looks to be doing better than I ever thought.
ROD - WTF is '50 micron's'. 'Can't trap a bag of cement' was attributed (allegedly) to the legendary Bill Shankly when talking about a player with a terrible first touch. Or are you being deliberately obtuse.
No not being obtuse! (dont you find it annoying when people use the word obtuse?) But the saying is a bag of cement. I was just illustrating the size particle of a grain of cement.
50 microns is the approximate thickness of a polythene bag used for sandwiches or putting food into a freezer. so a grain of cement is a spherical object much smaller than that.
I would have applied myself but I know the board would rather go for someone inexperienced, clueless and probably from North of the border!!! Merry Christmas!
