Matos’ Staff in Swansea

[magicdaps10]

Sharpe work!

No need for fax machines, data didn't support it!

There's every chance that Matos' backroom staff won't be granted visas. If that is the case, what a monumental fuck up that would be.

I was thinking exactly the same thing.
Not only have the owners taken a chance on an untried 2nd division (with crowds of 600) Portuguese coach, they also seem to have not done their due diligence on his 3 right hand men.
What a complete and utter clusterfek that would be !!
If that turns out to be the case, we’ll have gone overnight, from The Chuckle Bros, to The Laughing Stocks.
Question, has it ever happened before since Brexit?

Would like to know if it's happened to a Prem team before and how quickly THEIR lawyers got it sorted.

I wonder if any team in the whole football league has been mad enough

They won't be bringing in coaches from Portugal's second division so not applicable.

I've been under the opinion this whole time they won't. It's impossible to buy a player from the 2nd Portugese Division due to work permits so i fail to see how they thought they could get coaches in when the rules are even stricter for coaches than players.

Impossible? Then how did we sign Goncalo Franco?

He was a current Portuguese U21 international.

Yeah actually he'd just had a full season in the Portuguese top league as well. Decent signing for £2m

He was top division

I can honestly see Matos going before he’s properly started, unbelievably shambolic appointment that makes no sense whatsoever, anyone who thinks differently must be pi….d.

 

[sit_down_jack]

We can’t blame the club for the Brexit process. We can absolutely blame them for knowing that they’d have to go through this process and appointing somebody anyway.

Matos seems like a knowledgeable guy and I think he’s got the right idea, but no point bringing someone in without the tools to do the job.

Regardless of how this season goes, a Director of Football or Technical Director (whatever it’s called) needs to be brought in. Football decisions by football people.

 

[tardylum]

Hiring a coach based on 12 games with a certain set of staff and then risking him not having those staff to support him is a sackable offence. Worth/Dimi seems like an unnecessary risk for the club and a liability but everything points to him being a data guy at heart so this decision can only have come from Gorringe as nobody who works with numbers at any level or in any industry would be ignorant and dull witted enough to see 12 games as a significant sample. Even the decision to do an interview with that podcast looks like poor judgement.

Let's pray it pans out ok, even if it is starting to look like a question of how big is the bollock that's been dropped.

First things first. Win tomorrow, by any means.
