Colours Nailed and all that

Yep, he didn't last long after that.

There have been many accounts on twitter and a couple on here this season. It's an open secret internally at the club, especially when the posts are near verbatim recreations of internal messages, in the same tone and shall we say, persistence. If the arguments were made in person, maybe it would not be so obvious.

Distancing himself from the Idah deal is a nice vote of confidence.

C'est la vie. Works for the owners and unlikely to change anytime soon.

It’s gonna be a last word competition for the ages.

Absolutely, read my comment saying ill the be first to congratulate them if it does turn out to be a success.

I did read your comment, along with the "unless he's not trying" part, another criticism aimed at Vipotnik this time last year by the less football savvy types

Its not new, doesn't mean it was the correct thing to do.

Why didn't the recruitment team identify him as a suitable signing?

That won't be answered because that process was a bit of a mess in the end

Based on what?

I can’t answer that, but what I will say is managers will sign players that they have coached and trust + this will always be the case whether you agree with it or not. Matos will get some Liverpool/Salzburg players that he’s worked with too I would guess at some point.

Hopefully we'll have learnt and wont give an assistant manager who'd soon be sacked the power to make expensive signings.

I don’t think there is anything to learn, managers will ultimately have the power to sign a player they know. This will always be the case, including this summer I’m sure. I personally don’t like it either, but that’s football.

That's not good and not professional at all.
You are in trouble if you are trying to control something and/or trying to defend something to such levels.

If what you suggest is true that is!
Makes things stranger given I don't think they are at the level to do it either.....things are far from that bad to do such things.

So. you know, for a fact that O'Dea was behind the signing of Adam Idah do you? And your not just putting 2 and 2 together? You should stop believing amateur journalism claptrap as gospel kid.

Its the degree of that power thats the problem.

Read up, its not me saying O Dea was solely responsible for signing him. Im saying its mad if he was.

Thats a football problem then. Just the way it is. I think we would have issues attracting managers if we were the club to buck that trend and not allow it.

 

[magicdaps10]

Fook me!
This could be special in so many ways.

It's unfolding quite badly.

Im actually a supporter of it. Rodgers and Laudrup had great success signing players they knew. But they weren't assistant managers and the signings not as expensive as Idah! Which is mad really.
