Very very happy with this!

It’s evolution, not revolution.

Brilliant work by Tony & Paul.

They’ve given us a fighting chance of another top 10 EPL finish with this appointment!

Now for the Pizza, Pasta and Birra Moretti to celebrate!

Berra Moretti??

It’s brewed in Scotland try Peroni

Chris Sutton on 5Live ‘A left field appointment’

Only if you know **** all about the Albion, TB and PB!

TS immediately called in their ‘European expert’ who promptly gave a run down of his career, circumstances and preferred tactical approach, plus explained how he is happy to blood younger players. Also said it was a ‘very good catch’ for BHA.

Ergo - Sutton is a prick who does no research :shrug:

Then that was a weakness. In the time he was here in England, he hadn't learned enough to be confident in interviews. Huge mistake.

Not really, as I understand he had enough English to give interviews when he arrived (the normal sort of "how do you think the game went?" questions don't exactly require fluency to answer anyway), he chose not to. Which may have been because, as he claimed, he was worried about not communicating accurately, but had the added benefit of playing into his football mystic image.

Looking to bring 7 back room staff with him apparently but TBC. Explains the Bruno thing a bit I guess

Just read there will be work permit requirements.

Based on an anagram, I'm looking forward to seeing an efficient automated system and the Albion player production line continuing.

That's a great theory, but he is no longer at Leeds. The messiah was found not to be all things to all people after all.

Tbh, don’t know loads about him but I’m pleased we’ve got someone in and from what I have read he certainly looks a good appointment. Trust Tony and Paul will have done their due diligence.

Thankfully NSC is of no relevance or significance to those conducting proper grownup lives in the real world whatsoever.

Can you give me the link to what they’ll be saying during games, so I can bin NSC? :lolol:
