Also a good article 'Idealists v 'the monetisers' - a struggle for football's soul', which looks at the increasing divide between the like of our own purists and those in Barber's position.

Good article...I can see us getting a couple of Spanish players from that and a couple of English ones..

 

[TSB]

What an amazing job Nick Szczepanik has.

Thanks that, good read, I think we are in good hands

 

[Hugh'sDad]

He was entrusted with the development squad at Barca - that club knows how to do things well, and it indicates that he impressed there.
He looks like a gem to me.

 

[Pavilionaire]

All good stuff, except the key point is if he DOES do well will he leave with us still in the Championship?

It is a risk, but being still in the championship hasn't done El Gus's job search much good, has it?

I think at this point from his and the club's perspective if we're still in the Championship then, by definition, he won't have done well. For me personally, he can do well and us still be in the Championship (so long as we're challenging for promotion), but I doubt TB or OG see it the same way. The plan is to get us up within OG's contract term of 3 years.

So is he up to a season in the Championship:-

"I'd prefer to start with a home game, but Leeds have a great stadium. I remember a game in the Champions League, they played Barcelona..."

I think so.

Oh ah Oscar.

 

[somerset]

Come on club, lets get these signings done and lets allow OG to fire into this league.... I feel a storming season coming on, but only if the board supports the OG master plan.

If only it had been Yeovil Or Bournemouth first up. Would have liked to hear what he'd said about those particularly away trips

 

[Hugo Rune]

Very well written article by Nick that is structured on solid well researched facts with a few nuggets to keep us dreaming!

Very good article and you don't get the impression Oscar is hugely frustrated by lack of signings in it. His mate noelia deniz on twitter last night was claiming the club are being incredibly slow with getting transfers done and Oscar is extremely frustrated with it. Don't get that impression from any interviews I've heard/read but was slightly worrying given her supposed closeness to Oscar...

and that last paragraph is what is killing the game

What an amazing job Nick Szczepanik has.

And what a very good job he does as well.

In fairness Elland Road is a one stand wendy ground.

There's plenty of areas in Elland Road Yeovil or Bournemouth could (just) look down their noses at.

Agreed. I meant more in terms of him having heard them playing European football there.
"Err yes, Yeovil. Didn't they host Havant & Waterlooville a few years back?"

Good article unlike the ST one omits the Norwich match on Tuesday night amongst the journos vague assumptions
