Commoli

[honourablegeorge]

Dan Roan just confirmed it.

[CarraLegend]

Interesting!

 

Dont know loads about him other than his time at Spurs and big reputation, its good to see moves happening though.

[Gomez]

Dan Roan just confirmed it.

 

Unfortunately, Hodgson is signing him to play next to Poulsen

[sutty]

OK. Dunno much about him tbh.

 

What's the score?

[Bailo]

Verrrrry interesting.

 

I've come round to liking this approach and I guess the proof is in the team that Spurs put out yesterday.

how has this come about?

[floyd]

What that he used to be a clown in a circus, whose first name was Charlie, now he just likes working with a clown?

[sutty]

how has this come about?

I suspect they asked him and offered him some money in exchange for good &/or services.

 

More details to follow

Moneyball by the sounds of it. advocate and friend of the bloke behind the theory!

who appointed him/what was RH's role?

[honourablegeorge]

Dunno, I guess his rep with Spurs. Interested to know who he has ties and links to now - would he work with Deschamps? Hazard?

[muleskinner]

Hopefully the first steps to a whole new management structure, although us having the bluenose Harper appointed as a scout it doesn't seem likely.

RH was the clown that went to throw a bucket of water, but only torn paper was in.

Their's an anology in their, but I aint got time because dinner calls

Scouts are expendable, do it for ex's and a few quid a time

[johngibo YPC]

Anyone got any idea what Kenny's job is yet?

[Billy Dane]

Hmm, what's Kenny going to do now, thought he was sort of doing that according to the rumour mill?

 

damn you Gibo!

Hodgson's role is being increasingly diminished.

[Raj]

There was a good article about Commoli in The Standard a couple of weeks ago.

Very interesting read about his philosophy and his methods of assesing players.

 

He signed some good players at Spurs. Players who are good enough to get into our team.

[Molby]

who appointed him/what was RH's role?

 

this is all I want to know

[RBM]

A quick google search, suggests he wasn't well liked at Spurs so, should be a good appointment.

[honourablegeorge]

Here, this is interesting

[beejay]

Confirmed as Sporting Director?

 

His job at Spurs included control over the Academy & Medical as well.

 

This must be the 1st in a series of appointments

[muleskinner]

this is all I want to know

 

 

I'm sure Hodgson will take vcreidt for it soon enough if he had anything to do with it, he needs all the help he can get what with the mess he has inherited here, all those expensive flops littering the place.

[Conrad]

Putting 2 + 2 together and hopefully not getting 5, could this be the precursor to Kenny replacing RH as manager?

yes please. Only decision to make is when to announce it; before or after Napoli or before/after Chelsea.
