Guy Branston

[TheLittleBigMan]

Couldn't spot any threads so apologies if old news. He was mentioned in an article about Pascanu in the merc. He's our new loans manager for the development squad and wondered if anyone new more about him? Personally I would love to see more of our youth getting loaned out and getting some proper match experience. No disrespect to our academy as they do a fine job but "football proper" plays a huge part in their development imo.

Had enough loan spells himself.

[Wymsey]

Heard he gets in a pickle if loan players aren't doing well.

[TheLittleBigMan]

I heard he's our new loans manager for the development squad. And he was crap at football. Great to hear he tucks in to the odd pickle though 

[Papasmurf]

Think he messed his hand up once putting it through a window following a red card. 

[Stinkenzo]

He is a man

Used to work for my dad on Leicester market when he was in the youth team.

Over qualified then.

[Nalis]

He was a walking red card as a player.

 

Completely irrelevant in the context of his role but there you go.

Jobs for the boys.

Used to go out with a bird I know, met him a few times. Was a decent chap, loved a fcukin swig.

We really are building up a comprehensive biography of the man. Wikipedia's got nothing on FoxesTalk.

[Foxxed]

Does the loans manager have any say who is loaned, or just manages the players once they're loaned out?

I've never known who makes the decision to loan a player out.

[stevelcfc]

Dean Hammond used to be in that role before him.

[ramadaone]

Decent bloke who knows his way round the lower leagues which in this role is useful

He doesn't decide who or where the players go he just looks after things once they are there and reports on their progress ( or lack of it )

Apparently sent off 3 times and booked 40 times in a 165 game career (First Team) with 12 different clubs.

You've given yourself away now Wayne!

[EastAnglianFox]

Not a bad word to say about the lad, sound to have a chat with when he was out and about and anybody that used to frequent Pulse nightclub in Loughborough back in the day will probably know why he could barely walk onto a football pitch on a Saturday ??

Not Wayne haha. My old man used to train him before he signed at City then used to help him out for a bit of extra cash. Cant imagine any youth players doing that nowadays.

[steveherbe]

So he's the loan arranger? Any idea who Tonto is, hi ho silver!!

A Ham role always needs some Branston pickle.
