As I say could be bollocks but seeing if the new potential source is reliable

GIMOC?

Jesus needs me, in fact he wants me for a sunbeam.

Could be bullshit but testing a new source out

Literally like getting a new dealer’s number, I’ll just get one 20 bag in case it’s shit

Excellent!

Sources and rumours are the lifeblood of this forum

But are sunbeams made like you?

Delaney already at the club but with U-18s. Be a big step up, imagine he’s helping in preseason with the younger players in the squad. Can see it being someone either unheard of an ex Cov is player.
Delaney lives in the same village as me randomly.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Just wondering what people’s thoughts are on Delaney? Think he’s done a good enough job of the U18’s to then be Head Coach? Not saying I know either way, just don’t really know much about him tbh.

 

[robbiethemole]

Will he be due a signing on fee??

 

[Bad Boy]

No, sadly.

Sunbeams light up our lives but I’m just an old twat.

Here's a thought. An experienced CM who can act as assistant player manager / captain

I’d have kept that thought to myself if I were you

Jordan Henderson. It’s written in the stars.

It didnt go too badly when we had Strachan and Macllister

We got relegated for the first time in decades…

 

[JSL]

Not until we sold Robbie Keane

 

[fernandopartridge]

Not sure he has a UEFA pro license which was a requirement for this role. He has an A licence but theoretically doesn't meet criterea

He's perfick

Has he got a UEFA pro license? He gives the license

Is it true you'll only order off the Albanians rather than any domestic based retailers

There’s a higher probability of better quality product, I mean players, in Europe

Strachan was just manager then, and McAllister had gone.

So MR talking about becoming 'ELITE' and the way that's done is by promoting somebody already at the club... weird

What a strange take.

 

[ms639]

What a strange take.

in what way is that a strange take? MR states that we need to improve the quality of the backroom staff, specifically referring to the assistant manager role and then w (supposedly) promote our u18s manager to the role, does that statement and that hire line up? No

Are you suggesting that Robins doesn't rate the u18 manager appointed less than a year ago?

Well he wasnt going to appoint him as assistant manager last year when he already had one was he?

I'm suggesting that an individual who has zero assistant manager experience cannot be described as an elite assistant manager? Seems a fairly logical view, although I know you like being contrary for the sake of it

Depends. People internally will be far more aware of his skills than someone just looking at his job title. And let's be clear, this is just a rumour at the moment and not from a concrete source.

I would however trust Robins, who has worked with him for 12 months, to know if he is suitable ahead of yourself.

 

[The watchmaker]

Seems odd that we advertised it for a very short period of time before appointing someone internal (assuming that is what happened). Anyone any thoughts on why we would do that? Not entirely sold on Delaney? Pretty comfortable with the fall back option, just resting the waters to see what is out there? Club policy?

As has been said, this is just a rumour. However, if it is true, there might be some rule about having to publicly advertise even though they knew they’d hire from within all the time.

It is a strange take really.
You’re intimating that Robins was specifically talking about the role of assistant manager, he wasn’t, he was clearly stating that the club are striving to create an “elite environment” that gives the players the very best opportunity to maximise their full potential.

 

[Balli001]

Im sure there is some form of employment law that all positions have to be advertised.

Not my area of law but I don't think you do. It is certainly the case for public sector jobs though and policy in many other organisations. I agree with KG82 that it feels like a token effort (assuming the rumour is true) so perhaps it is just something CCFC do now.
