“Subject to work permit”. Nigel strikes again.

He’s already got the governing body endorsement from the FA, that is effectively confirmation of the work permit. All Fabs need to do now is visit a UK embassy and get the paperwork sorted then enter the UK on the work permit.

I'm sure half this thread has been suggestions to this question!

Maybe I am an old boy, but this lad is a baby and going into the lions den which is the premier league, he will need tactical astuteness of a mongoose or we will be biten from many cobras this season. Tony Pulis is a sloth.

You present ‘Animal Magic’ and I claim my £5.

 

[Flounce]

Did he say that? Funny thing to say publicly about someone you've just employed - not hugely motivational.

Surprise surprise The club have said he was the stand out candidate

They said he was “A” standout candidate not the “The” standout candidate

I have no problem with that btw

To clear this up …Tony Bloom said “from the start of the process ...he was always a standout candidate”

 

[DJ NOBO]

This is going to be fun

Would still have gone with Cesc Fabregas, considering his Arsenal connections, but what do I know ?

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Québécois, ostie! So 'frites' in French and 'fries' in anglais, thank you very much!


I'm projecting, right? If I'd delivered a baby to term, I'd want to raise it at least until s/he reached school age. Well, I suppose I could come up with a better analogy, lol. Just speaking as a project manager, it bothers me seeing people biting off more than they can chew after having a bit of success.

Unless he's a true prodigy, I have my reservations. Thank you for letting me have them!

.

Speaking as Project manager, it bothers me when age is used as a measure of ability, rather than what has been done and what can be done. You cannot grow unless you take risks. The art for the club is managing the risk as a they step up a level.

What does that mean ?

Who do you think you are kidding Mr. Huerzeler,
if you think we're on the run?
We are the boys who will stop your little game.
We are the boys who will make you think again.
'Cause who do you think you are kidding Mr. Huerzeler,
If you think old England's done?

Work some Albion references into that and it’s a good ‘un!

 

[Weststander]

Nope. What they actually said was 'always a standout candidate'.

Along with the bloke from Manchuria.

To make him feel inferior.

 

[Weststander]

What does that mean ?

Pre Brexit players and managers simply jumped in their Maybach or Lear and started their new UK job. Now silly red tape.

 

[brighton_tom]

A reworking of the Caicedo chant would be good with the same syllable tempo. Hur-ze-ler instead of Cai-ce-do...

[sparkie]

I assume some of the other coaching staff he brings will be from St Pauli? Still negotiating their compensation?

Allegedly his to-be-appointed assistant manager is someone at a different German club.

 

[Justice]

TB and PB have played an absolute blinder here.

The whole McKenna thing was a smokescreen. We were never interested in him, but we made it look like we were to unsettle a relegation rival in the hope that they would spaff a huge amount of their wage bill on extending his contract. And so they did. Then we go out and get our number one choice. Marvelous.

Relegation rival

 

[Hugo Rune]

SkyBet not paying me my winnings!

What do they need to pay out?
