Jesús García Pitarch - binned

[Rudy Can't Fail]

It looks like he's failed at most of his recent appointments pretty quickly so not overjoyed with this.

From the little digging on him today my worst fear is he's a Mendes puppet. I really hope I'm wrong but only time will tell.

I wouldn't mind if they both have access to the same type of players that went to Wolves. 

[Matt Collins]

Fast forward to 10:29

Thanks.  Sounds promising

I agree that does sound more promising than I thought. atleti had been out of Europe for 6 years and he oversaw the recruitment that started the current phase. Even if that's a generous description it's pretty good on the CV

You just have to wonder what he's been doing in recent years and whether his heart is in it

As others have said, if we can get the next Ruben neves I couldn't give shit whose stooge he is

[FatSam]

I really hope this appointment works out. You could say that our downward trajectory sprang from MON walking out in a fit of pique days before the start of the season, leaving no one with any football knowledge inside the building. If there had been a DOF at that time things might not have been so bad. We never really got to see whether Steve Round was a good DOF, but the early signs weren’t very impressive. This guy knows what worked from his previous positions that he can transfer here.

[Matt Collins]

If we'd had a proper DoF we certainly wouldn't have signed some of the players Mon did for the price he paid

[AV82EC]

If we'd had a proper DoF we certainly wouldn't have signed some of the players Mon did for the price he paid

It would certainly have broadened our UKIP transfer policy (Petrov and Carew aside) at the time.

[Villa in Denmark]

If we'd had a proper DoF we certainly wouldn't have signed some of the players Mon did for the price he paid

MON would almost certainly never have countenanced having a proper DoF above him.

MON wanted and got total control.  Wasn't he behind the removal of that CEO we got from Fulham (Bruce something?) who only stayed a short while, because he didn't want anyone else interfering in his fiefdom?

Bruce Langham. He was CEO under Ellis. O'Neill got rid of Richard FitzGerald.

[john e]

the groundsman reported directly to MON

I don't mean MON could ask for the pitch to be watered or not or the dimensions to be set to his choosing that's a given at most clubs I assume
I mean the groundstaff reported directly to him

the man was a control freak

Like Clough with half the ability.

No way has MON got 1% of Clough’s talent.

Not sure I learnt much from this other than he likes GoT!

And looks like Richard Madeley.

To be fair the David Bradley interview/video he's talking about is one of my favourite things we've done for years, it's right up there with the Benjamin Zephaniah one from before the cup final for me.

I thought he came across pretty well, I liked that he mentioned that being one of the fans and making the fans happy is a key part of the role though.
