I asked him about the gegenpressing and the fact that other teams know what we do now and some of them do the same. Does he ever have to change our style to combat this?
He said that they don’t know the detail of what we do so the philosophy stays the same even though the detail changes and went on to talk about the players desire to play this way and get better at it. He said that at the team dinners after games they didn’t want to talk about cars and whatever, they wanted to talk football
Martin talked about our model of coaching players in our style from the start and not loaning so much as they wouldn’t be playing in our way at other clubs. He also said we want to buy players who we can develop to play to that style. Ralph referenced Theo and how much he wanted to come here and how he could see that he could play for us. He turned down more lucrative offers elsewhere.
Toby said Financially we’re ok and talked some detail on that
Really interesting forum. Ralph’s a bloody genius. We have a clear vision
The future’s bright, the future’s red and white
