Yeah, I edited my post as I was being too harsh. I didn’t mind what I saw. Well organised, hard to break down, kept possession well but it was slightly cautious. I really rate Corberan and I’d argue he takes a similar approach but more direct. I’m also influenced by some Dutch mates who are big Ajax fans and always slated AZ for being boring and playing not to lose.For what it’s worth I think he’s be a good choice but the fans would have to accept we’re a patient, cautious side.I quite enjoyed watching them, but ill admit i didnt watch them loads - well organised but liked to get players forward on the games i watched
Im probably biased with him as 1 of the scouts i work with is good mates with him - I've messaged him now to ask if hes heard anything
Any coaches your neck of the woods youd reccomend?
Mr. Vacancy is now the longest serving Sunderland manager in my lifetime I believe.We've gone over 100 days without sacking a coach, I think we're almost due. Get Still in, get him back out and then bring in Jansen!
Aye lugano have some real talent, i like bislimi and reckon he might get a move soonYeah, I edited my post as I was being too harsh. I didn’t mind what I saw.

The Swiss league is a hard one to judge. It could be good for players but coaches is a challenge. Most use it as a route to Italy or Germany or when they are on the decline. Arguably the Lugano coach, Mattia Croci- Torti is the standout this season however they have also been great at recruitment as well. He’s being linked with some lower Serie A jobs.
I Scouts and Ventures was in Weardale for me as well.Funnily enough, so was mine. I grew up in Weardale, but went to school in Derwentside. Did scouts in Weardale, mind.
Dead shot with a blackboard rubberI assume the legend (if you want to call him that) Mr Berryman was probably there then

It was a great place to do that kind of stuff!! In landscape terms and the people running it seemed reallt good. Did some excellent night hikes and orienteering things round Weardale. Packed in Ventures because it was the same night as my refereeing course. Wish I hadn't now.I Scouts and Ventures was in Weardale for me as well.
I remember doing some badge or other. Had to hike in the winter to an old hunting hut. Might have been chappel fell, cant remember. Got up there and had to dig 3 feet of snow to pitch a tent. Went in the hut and sat in front of the fire and melted the rubber soles of my DMs. Hike back down next day with leaking boots was rough. Great times and memories.
I’m over still now. Bring me Pascal!
