Plus Demarai Gray, Jack Butland, Nathan Redmond, Che Adams, and another dozen or so making the Brum first team.


Plus SpD, if poss.

I think the TpD and SpD seem to be the same job, just reported differently. But I could be wrong - you're reading the same partially-filed jigsaw puzzle as me.

 

[Upthere]

Getting a bit late to pick a team and be in the dugout Saturday, unless it's announced tonight, and he pulls an all-nighter watching matches on video.

Probably won’t be in the dugout but even in the stands it could give the team an extra 10%

 

[Nelson!]

I don’t know mate, but he and another person interviewed Cowley on Monday or Tuesday.

The Poyet debacle was Tuesday wasn't it? Seems strange they'd be interviewing someone else if he was nailed on before that point. Something doesn't stack up, maybe the Poyet info was duff or leaked on purpose to see where the info is getting out from?

I wonder if the bloke from Brum hasn't been officially announced as things are still fluid, ie: If we decide on Cowleys and they don't want anyone above them he may stay in his old job? Wouldn't line up with him interviewing people like.

Would probably raise the attendance by about 10% anarl.

Amazing how clever buggers like Morse make it look so easy.

 

[Ceverton]

Academy manager since 2011. Probably helped bring through Bellingham, Demarai Gray and Nathan Redmond.

Imagine the youth team players we could sell for very little like we do now haha

 

[Alfa]

Nothing, just heard at the start of the weekend they wanted someone for the weekend.

Cheers marra, would be good to get it sorted and get started.
Wigan bottom of the league and playing loads of kids but unless we pick up from the other night I wouldn’t rule out an away win

 

[Wayne The Punk]

Getting a bit late to pick a team and be in the dugout Saturday, unless it's announced tonight, and he pulls an all-nighter watching matches on video.

He could have been already watching matches

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

He could have been already watching matches

True, and he's still signing. That's what I call self-confidence

 

[Mary Hinge]

Plus Demarai Gray, Jack Butland, Nathan Redmond, Che Adams, and another dozen or so making the Brum first team.

Yea......we still produced £55m on Bridges, Henderson and Pickford despite also being shoite......

[Scotlands number 9]

would be an even better appointment if the owners hadn't pulled his supply line before giving him the job then.

yep, very true. We’ve been robbed of a generation of talent by them.

Mr. Blobby?

 

[The Rat]

Technical director and director of football are two completely different roles

and schwarz is qualified for neither of them

You started on a positive but the bold bitg is concerning

As has been posted recently they did but don't now. I was trying to state that theres more than Birmingham has player rise up to prem in the past. Poeple going on like this fella is a youth genius when they didn;t know him from adam earlier today.

Not a genius but history of being reasonably successful

since these idiots took over us most of staff have left the academy

no idea why we sacked McNamee for bain’s Mate

 

[PS]

Christ, what are we gonna talk about when it's all actually done and finalised ?

Oh aye... 'football'

 

[The Rat]

Is it? Boro’s academy was once brilliant.These days it’s probably on par with what we have. Who was the last genuinely brilliant footballer to come from Boro? I’m quite close to Boro’s Academy through my son and it’s not what it once was. I’m not saying it’s bad because it’s not but it’s certainly not what it was and they have lost a number of coaches and directors from the Academy the same as we have

they produce a hell of a lot more pro footballers than Sunderland like.

I tried to talk about football on Tuesday and my meldrew didn't get a single reply

Don't give up. Think shock kicked in

aye, this. i think we all know that niall quinn's 1 win as a manager wasn't down to him suddenly becoming a good manager like
