[Football] Union Saint-Gilloise

[Slum_Wolf]

1-0 Union, Nilsson header from an Adingra corner after 2 mins. Adingra substituted after 12 mins due to injury... hopefully just a precaution with Union at home to third place Antwerp on Sunday.

3-0 Union at HT.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

3-0 up with Adingra an assist for the early goal but then subbed off after only 12 mins so presumably injured

edit - far too slow!(me not him)

 

[Slum_Wolf]

4-0...all done. Easy...

 

[Slum_Wolf]

No Adingra today. Assume he is still injured after going off after only 12 mins on Thursday.

Does Bloom use his football data to sign players for USG? I suppose those not good enough for the Albion but with the potential to develop into something great. It really is an amazing set up he has going on, I wonder if he privately sells 'shares' in players to his mates if they suspect they'll be a future superstar.

Call me a ruddy greedy and delusional sod but to compete better with the likes of Citeh group (did I just say that ), it might be beneficial if TB were to pick up a couple more clubs. Perhaps a Portuguese, American or even an Italian one.

Yes. There's a couple of articles about it if you google USG and Tony Bloom. I seem to recall that the manager who was there when they implemented the data-driven policy left because he didn't agree with it.

Your memory is correct. I read the same articles. The manager who was there when Bloom bought the club did indeed leave because he disagreed with the data driven approach.

Wonder how he's feeling about his decision now... RUSG are flying high

Here's a good article about TB's takeover and the subsequent departure of the manager Marc Grosjean:

Sounds like one I read about a year ago, which was very memorable and also IIRC very long
