Colours Nailed and all that

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

So who said then, name names.

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.

Laudrup didn’t sign anyone, his agent did. Bayram Tutumlu, and yes players certainly within that cost zone. It’s football.

We were a Premier league club, not a struggling championship club.

It will be the same regardless of division.

And also didn't have this analytical recruitment set up at the club.

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.

Less power than even 5-10 years ago though in fairness.

I have no doubt that O’Dea played a big part in the signing having worked with him before, but I’d be surprised (and a little concerned) if he was signed without the recruitment team/CEO/board doing their own due diligence before forking out the amount we did.

You're missing the point again. Theres a time and a place for it under the correct circumstances.

Can’t keep repeating, every club, every manager, every division will have managers making signings from their former clubs. So much so when Rodgers went to Liverpool didn’t we try and put a clause in that he couldn’t take Joe Allen because we knew we would! I am damn sure Liverpool had an analytical department.

Write to the club and let them know when you think it should be applied then

Trucker jack!

Bolloxs, this goes back to when we signed Adam Idah, some "outlets" itk types were saying it was an O'Dea signing, the very same that were saying the players hated training because of O'Dea's relentless flogging of players program based on his Gaelic football upbringing. Utter, Utter bolloxs.

Liverpool had the luxury of being able to spend that sort of money backing a successful manager. A struggling championship club shouldn't be doing similar with an assistant manager who's soon be sacked.

As I say, a time and a place, under the correct circumstances.

Darren O'Dea reveals how he caused Adam Idah's Celtic exit in remarkable untold story

“It was me that bought him at Swansea. I don’t know if I’ve told this story.

“He got taken off at half-time against Kairat Almaty, and I sent a text at half-time to say: ‘I don’t know if this is being a bit cheeky, but I’ll ask the question’.

“But yeah, it grew arms and legs from there. There was a lot that happened in the few weeks between and then and before the deal got concluded, but I was very much at the forefront of it.”
