Dennis Bergkamp & Liam Brady

Heard this from some non BHA supporting workmate

After we told his son that he wasn't required I can really see this happening

To my knowledge his son has never played for us, but could be wrong.

His son? I don't think he plays football.

I think Roland was a great nephew.

I think Roland was a great nephew.

Ah I stand corrected.....still a family member though

Who he barely knew.

I'm sure I read somewhere that he's only met him once.

Indeed. Wouldn't have any bearing on Dennis Bergkamp's decision.

Interesting. The Brady suggestion makes some sense given his past links with The Albion. He has been Arsenal's Head of Youth Development and Director of their academy so his recent CV ticks lots of boxes. I can't see him looking for a First team managerial role these days but would make sense if he oversees our new training complex and mentors a younger Albion manager - especially Bergkamp given their knowledge of each other from Arsenal?

Isn't Bergkamp in a similar role to Brady but at Ajax's academy? So would he see us as a good stepping stone for a few years, maybe before moving on to the managers job at Arsenal or Ajax?

On paper they should be a great managerial team, and look to play the right sort of football. Ajax are famed for producing technically proficient youngsters so would make a lot of sense under FFP.

not sure about manager but i can see Brady being involved soon - Director of Youth Development might appeal given his location, contacts, new training ground, etc

But how would Bergkamp get to our European games?

Mark that's the second post on this thread where you have dismissed this idea. Why? And who is your choice?

 

[kevo]

Brady for all his niceness wasn't a good manager , at the Albion or at Celtic

Celtic probably true but I don't think anyone can criticise his time with us given the situation he had to work under. It was a near impossible task. We still saw glimpses of what he could have achieved in other circumstances.

Mark has properly got the strop again, wouldn't read too much into it.

Think these 2 could work.....
