Sounds like a good appointment with his CV, but don't know enough about it really. Hopefully can improve fortunes

As expected... been the main rumour for a month or so.

Know nothing about him but will be interesting to see how it goes.

This appears to have gone under the radar somewhat, possibly because of the euphoria of soundly beating Southampton on this board, as in not very much interest.

This appointment excites me in terms of a statement of intent from the club.
It will clearly take a lot of work to break into the top 4 or 5 in the league, but Bloom has made the womens team an integral part of the overall ethos of the club and wants them to be able to compete.
I expect Jens has been promised a transfer fund at the end of this season, can’t wait to see this develop.

When you say “under the Radar” in what context?

I read it on here, I got an email from club, splashed all over club site and at one point 6th story on BBC sport, hardly under the radar I’d say!

And as for your “ chauvinistic” comment 🤦‍♂️

Sound like a good appointment, but why did he leave Bayern? I presume we’ve not poached him directly from them.

Sounds like a great appointment.

Hopefully it’s the catalyst the team needs to start improving, as with loss of some players seem to be going backwards.

Ah, sorry I was unwell yesterday and looked on NSC after reading the Albion website, at about 3am in the morning, and could not see a thread about it on the first page.
Thus my comment “under the radar” sorry about that, it had been me “under the covers, unwell”

As for my “chauvinistic“ comment!
considering there are only about 5 comments before my post was amalgamated into this one, and 4 posts since mine, maybe I have a point considering one of them yours is getting all defensive….

I find it fascinating that you might consider chauvinism in this based purely on lack of interest in your thread, oh well hope you feel better soon hun x

A good appointment on paper, he seems a very professional and modern coach for the team. Hopefully he can inspire an improvement in the performances and help attract a better standard of player.

I am concerned that we might be doomed a little bit though, just purely due to name recognition. We have the best facilities for the women's team but couldn't prevent losing Le Tissier and Brazil to bigger clubs in the men's game. I wonder how the WSL can break away from being the female teams of the men's clubs and be their own entities outright.

He got sacked because they had a shite season (not really, but below their expectations).

They traditionally haven't had a good women's team but recently started pouring money into it and now expect to win every year.

Probably never - the sport has gone in the completely opposite direction. 20 years ago women only-clubs dominated most leagues and European Cups but now the traditional teams are taking over.

I don't think the WSL teams can break away without losing ground to multi-sport clubs (which is the most common form outside England; for instance FC Barcelona are very good at handball, basketball, volleyboll etc) where the idea of women's team breaking away is not even thought of.

Appears to be the same in England now (not multi-sports perhaps, but multi-teams) being the way forward.

Wasn't so long ago...

Of course even a 2% chance to win is sometimes enough. Chelsea had 30 shots in that game, Brighton had 3. Once in a while that works out, a fuckload of times it wont.
