The Manager Thread...

Is it only an assistant missing from Slutsky's staff now? Hopefully with his retinue all but complete we'll appear a bit more stable and attractive to players.

 

The truth hurts and that article hurt.
If we go up mainly because of loan players.
It will be a repeat of last summer.

Did you get a tip

 

No lol.

 

Conservatively speaking?

 

I'm sure Dyche will be having his interview any day now.

 

Anyone think its odd that Slutsky is not bringing in his own backroom team?

 

Yes. Said he at least needs a right hand man to bounce ideas off. Ideally a couple of russkies with him.
There's a good reason managers take their team with them.

 

Didn't he say it would be hard to convince them to leave Russia ?

 

Nope.... in an interview he said his backroom staff are settled in Russia, and coaching in England is his ambition.

Also, would they get a visa?

 

Samuel is a good journalist and what he says is there for all to see. Loans from Chelsea will have been a deciding factor - not the sole one, as I very much doubt either him or his old man consider football nous too much.

 

This is what I thought before when he did the interview on having always had people who supported him and who he could discuss things with. I'm sure he would have liked to get people he was familiar with, but the rules may make it harder for him than it was for Silva.

Yep. Has the Slut had any say in any appointment or is he just rubber stamping? A report today stated that he was in Egypt watching a potential Al Ahly recruit - this sounds like Ehab is deciding everything and everyone - has the Slut got no contacts at all? Is he relying on nothing but his own gut feelings while being directed here and there by Ehab?

 

it's a worry

 

Attractive to many players and not the few? Anyway, won't labour the point.

 

I feel its more than a worry.... nothing happening even City transfer page has 4 new posts on it!!!... at least last year we had the pulling power of being a Premiership club and some players who didn't want to leave for that reason. 10 days for him to get the 90% of his squad in!!!!!

 

You can't DUPe me with your subliminal political posts.

 

SNaP.
