Thanks to Harry for sharing, I’d read the first one before. Decent cv! I beat Liverpool John Moore’s Tennis Captain 6-0 6-0 in a university match.

tin Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Oddly enough, I was reading about Mackenzie a couple of weeks ago. There’s a few long-form interviews with him on the Sky Sports’ website. From what I read, he’d be an excellent appointment if we could pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d actually heard him mentioned to me on May 4th, through someone not connected with City but it’s one of those you don’t share to keep respect with the source. Given the Pearson link and where that news came from, I’d be absolutely certain we’ve asked about him. But it may well be a no-no. Likely the same with Shakespeare too. I’m certain we’ve enquired. But it’ll be a really tough sell getting either one of these 2 out of Villa. All roads must lead to Walsh now, surely!! Although even on that one, I understand he’s happy in the US, so maybe he might just do a bit of ‘consultancy’ for us rather than a full time position.

spudski Posted May 11, 2021 Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 If SL really wants Prem... he's got to pay the big bucks outside of FFP on the best recruitment people and scouts etc . I've never got my head around paying millions in wages to players, yet far,far less to managers, coaches,recruitment and scouts...lucky to get mileage and a free ticket as a scout these days, let alone a wage.

Exactly right ,Sometimes it's not the players you have to spend serious money on You have to provide a quality backroom team to get the quality on the field, In training sessions,In scouting. Etc etc Think now lansdown has to invest in this, 500k on Ashton is now saved let's hope we can now use this towards getting quality in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oh Louie louie Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Good point above. He must have somebody in place. The dithering, last season was crazy. Its no easy job, as Billy said, we need someone in yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever, we need this calibre of person, the Ashton recruitment set up is miles off. We also need someone yesterday, or club will be in total chaos very soon. Does anyone know who is preparing our transfer targets ? We only got a few months to sort the total shambles of this season just gone, and Nige without correct and qualified support is going to have a very very high risk of failure. Absolutely right. We cannot afford the endless selection process that took so long last year to appoint Holden. The longer this process takes the more damage is being done to our recruitment and NP's success . He cannot lead the revolution alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would like to think that work has been done from when they knew Ashton was going. But again every day that passes worries me that Lansdown has dragged his feet in getting this crucial appointment sorted out. And this will impact on our activity in the transfer market. Really hope I am proved wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrizzleRed Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 Wouldn’t it be so Bristol City that, although we’ve had the advantage of having NP here for a while to assess the squad, there’s nobody here to follow up on his transfer targets and we end up missing out to our rivals. Let’s just hope this is a new City now and they already have contingencies in place to to cover the gap left by the ‘shiny suited one’! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
