I am going to nail my flag to the mast and say I think this is the perfect signing. An English manager would have started again and we would have had a season of change. This guy will take the Gus Bus and add to it. No need for revolution when you have finished 4th playing good football. Just the evloution we needed. Also as an up and coming manager he has growth and ambition, so it's an appointment for the medium term as well.

BUT for ****s sake lay off him when he inevtiably says he wants to manage at a higher level, when he is asked if he one day wants to manage Barcelona or someone else and he says yes. That's what you would expect. No need for some on here to have a hissy fit. He wil come, hopefully take us up, and improve us, and then he will go on to better things. That's football.

Agree completely. We can either go for a manager no one else wants and plod on, or go for the best and take the (very limited) downside that he may be linked to other clubs from time to time. All hail Oscar!

I have a vision of Oscar and his team - right at this moment - watching videos of last season, focusing on Spanish Dave and Upson.

In addition, I hope this chap Badias will soon be on his way to us as CB.

Can you guys take this elsewhere? You're distracting from the excitement and optimism about OGJ's pending appointment

The PERECT recruit. It may be the fact that it's a little light after a rough few weeks, but this feels like a watershed moment. I am BRIMMING with confidence right now.

Great contacts, VERY highly rated, understands what it's like to be at a BIG club, a continuation of 'our' style of football.

I absolutely can't wait for Leeds.

And the fact that there is a potential way back for Vicente? I know it's a longshot, but I'm allowed to dream.

We are finding out more about Oscar...But here are some snippets about our other potential new coaching staff

Head fitness coach Juan Torrijo Navaro and assistant coach Ruben Martinez will be leaving Maccabi Tel Aviv after one year at the club

Head fitness coach Juan Torrijo Navaro and assistant coach Ruben Martinez have announced they will be leaving their roles as head fitness coach and assistant coach of Maccabi Tel Aviv. The club wish to thank Juan and Ruben for their contribution to last season's championship and wish them the best of luck in the future. MTA sports director Jordi Cruyff said that "We are sad to lose two such outstanding professionals as Juan and Ruben who contributed so much to winning the title this past season, but we fully understand their desire to continue their partnership with (ex-head coach) Oscar Garcia".

]Juan Torrijo Navaro arrived at Maccabi last summer after 16 seasons in a similar role at the Spanish La Liga side Valencia CF, where he shared in one of the most successful periods in the club's history. During that time the team were two-time winners of the league championship, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup and added to that one UEFA Cup and a European Super Cup. Torrijo was also on board when Valencia reached the finals of the Champions League in two successive seasons, 2000 and 2001.

Ruben Martinez Caballero also arrived to Maccabi last summer together with ex-head coach Oscar Garcia, with whom he had worked for two years at the FC Barcelona Youth Team. Ruben was born in a town close to Valencia and joined Barcelona's youth system. After three years as the Barcelona Youth Team's goalkeeper he made his anticipated move to the Catelonian club's third squad (FC Barcelona C). A year later he moved up to the club's second group, FC Barcelona B, which plays in the second tier of the Spanish league. After being unsuccessful in his attempts to hold down a position in the senior squad (apart from one match and then only on the bench), he moved to Deportivo Leon in the third tier of Spanish football.

Ruben spent the following seasons with third division sides Zamora, Novelda, Hercules (with whom he was promoted to the second division) and Badalona. In the summer of 2010 he retired from active play after having begun in his last year to work as a scout for former Bulgarian and Barcelona star Hristo Stoichkov's football academy in Barcelona. In the two years prior to joining Maccabi Ruben worked at Barcelona's Youth Team, analysing specific video material for goalkeepers and also for the first team and for rival clubs.

To be fair it probably has as the appeal is an internal process and very unlikely to reach a different conclusion. It will be then up to GP to go down the legal ET route or court case for unfair dismissal. I see know issue in appointing OGJ as interim manager. Its only lip service we know it, GP and his legal team know it. It not aobut GP getting his job back and managing the Albion again - its about £££££££.

completely correct, and as someone who was involved in helping an employee get to an ET, who was unfairly dismissed....from dismissal to ET took 2 years as the employer answered every submission on the last available day of their "reply by date", asked for more time etc and used every delaying tactic available. Sure Albion could also do the same. Will be a long old while till Poyet gets his hands on any of Blooms cash and he will need to spend a lot of his money in the meantime on legal fees until that day could even become a possibility.

And what with all of Spanish / Barca contacts we'll be getting the cream of Bayern Munich and Man City's kids on loan. Well, probably not but right now in this dreamlike state the possibilities seem endless...

He is about the best we can hope for whilst having the element of unknown quality about him, be that good or bad. An aducated gamble I would say.
