Some might say its 6 months too late Joking aside though it shows they have a clear plan. No fucking around, we mean business this summer. Manager in the next 2 weeks I reckon.

Newty82 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Hopefully we now start looking like we have one clear vision and plan rather than a mish-mash of ideas from different people and trying to please them all. nogs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nogs Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Well this is all going swimmingly!! I still stand by my belief Moshiri has to shoulder part of the blame for bringing Koeman and Walsh, then Allardyce, to the club in the first place. But you have to respect the decisive way he's going about sorting it. On the face of it, Brands is a far, far superior appointment to Walsh, who I think was promoted beyond his ability. Brands has the track record moulding whole clubs from the football side, not just making signings, which Walsh completely fucked up on during his time here anyway. I'm also excited by his apparent commitment to youth development - exactly what we should be prioritising, and why our last two managers were completely the wrong fit for us. Be very interesting to see who they bring in as head coach/manager now. If Brands is going to get full remit as DoF, it has to be someone operating more as a head coach than traditional manager - a real DoF is the boss. Would someone like Silva be happy in that role?

I would expect Silva would be fine with it as I would have expected him to work in that type of structure when he was in Portugal / Greece.

Finn balor Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 I’m sure he will have a say in players. Let’s get lookman and Henry in/back and sort out our attack.

DownUnderToff Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Rangnick would have been the ultimate get, he seems to have it all (playing style, coach and player type) down to a science for long term success, but he was a dream too far. Brands is a very good appointment, large improvement on Walsh (Imo). Not sure what he's like with coaching appointments but we should see some very smart player purchases and further improvement in the youth academy. Hopefully the Dutch connection helps to get de vrij to come on a free transfer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC-Paul Posted May 17, 2018 Report Share Posted May 17, 2018 I loved this snippet from another article And he says he's told Moshiri he'll be working in all aspects of the club: "From scouting to youth training to what the kits look like" Seems to be a very thorough and dedicated bloke, very hopeful he'll make a huge difference Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defence of the man from all and sundry is embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
