Read this morning that the Club is actively seeking a specialist Set-piece coach. Probably something the higher ups have decided we need rather than Slot. We do need to be better at defending set plays, so why not.
Preseason training has also been brought forward so more time at Kirkby to train and learn before stupid tours.
Well with a euros amd god knows what in South America and Africa who knows who he will have for the first weeks.
But every summer has something going on. Or at least every other summer. He's still going to have more time than ye olde average manager.
What is on for our players? Copa America. That's alisson gone Euro 2024. That's a lot of seniors gone Anything else? I'd say few players will be there in the first weeks so as usual he will have the opportunity to really run his own rule over thr kids.
What I am seeing is us likely to have about 2 weeks before the start of the season with the senior squad.
In the end this event was organised as we had a bad end to the season relatively speaking. The event will likely have raised 250k for charity. It takes a pretty low type and a petty and nasty streak to ignore that such an event will do good in the community and there's a lot worse ways people could send their time.
