Good if sobering read

And surely all the more reason to cast our net a few miles further than The Celtic Way and scout a Manager who has a well established width and depth of market intel and player/agent connections...and also with the professional credibility/ personal reputuation to be the difference maker in competitive player negotiations.

That's a sobering analysis Ross...makes you wonder if Keane has been waxing lyrical to DD about the wonderful talent pool he can leverage from Hungary 😔

The thing is the longer we leave it, the more reliant we are on someone coming in and knowing some players they want, and more importantly players that they are confident they can get to sign on the dotted line.

That's something that would potentially go against someone like Craig Bellamy who hasn't really had to deal with that side of things.

Wild when laid out like that, I’d send that to Michael Nicholson!

I'd just get his standard email reply:

I'm sorry but I'm hiding under my desk right now.

Please contact a Desmond if you are looking for permission for something.

If you want some waffle and nonsense to appease the support contact Brian Quinn.

For anything else contact anyone else.
