Re: Director of Football confirmed

The mags went French, looks like we are going Italian lol

Eh? None of the new players are Italian & only 1 has been playing there. We're hardly limiting ourselves to one country, league or language the way the skunks recently have. Whether thats good or bad remains to be seen though.
 
Or because we shouldn't be making big deals of signings. They are just humans who may or may not be good at football after all.

We may sign 10 players this summer. Can't wait!!

You've got to make a big thing about transfers in order to get free publicity for the club.
 
Big changes at our beloved club, ellis short and di canio are changing the identity of the club for the better, and the chief scout could be the best signing yet, I take it he will get to look for players this summer from day 1 ????

3 signings and more to come, how much does di canio have to spend :confused:

A very interesting summer ahead :cool:

You don't know it will be for the better yet.

One thing that is different from the Bruce transfer tombola is that we knew the majority of his splurge were dire, nobody has a clue with the incoming carnival.
 
i am trying not to get excited but its very hard not to, by what we are witnessing from the club:eek:


happy days ahead :-D:cool:

It's interesting to ask how much has he got to spend! We have been gradually reducing the wage bill for 2 years (3 summers) now. I think we will be healthier than we think in that regard.

How much extra money does the TV deal bring?

Whatever it is, its wise to invest in countries that don't have that much tv income or many Arab funded super teams. (Italy, holland, Belgium, Germany etc).

Might be the same standard as Brucies but a lot more fitter

I don't know how you can say we have been reducing the wage bill, Johnson and co will be on huge wages.

Not quite sure 100% but Johnson took a pay cut from 80k/ week to come in line with sess when he signed. We have a wage cap presently don't we? Also we have a very small squad now.

I'm pretty confident our wage bill has gone down each year since 2011.
 
Re: Director of Football confirmed

Quite a lot to me thanks

If I had heard of them and was confident we were bringing in some quality Management and players I would be over the moon, as it is I don't know whether they're good enough for the Vaux Wearside League so will have to give it 'till Christmas to make a judgement call

Interesting that you value your own opinion more than the likes of Basle, Lazio and Sunderland.

and the team has gone backwards since then, make of that what you will:neutral:

Disagree. We were wetting our pants at the signings of Cana, sess, muntari, mensah, riveros, even angeleri. Easily said in hindsight. These signings are no different whatsoever. In fact, even more of a mystery.
