Might be in the minority but I really couldn't give two ****s about Leuven.

It's been quite a nice escape following another teams results but that's about it.

We've not used it as it should have been used and that's just another damning indictment of shit ownership/management.

 

Currently hillarious paralels with the manager situation too.

 

Don't think they've done a training camp at seagrave before have they? Assume our Austria camp will overlap and then come back in time for a behind closed doors game at seagrave?

Luckily for them they actually have their own Director of Football that isn’t Jon Rudkin

You could have just, you know, skipped this thread then.

Still need Top's signature to fire Coleman though, can't move forward with Hubert until that's done.

And it must show what a terrible job the footballing side of our club is being ran and what having a DoF brings to the table. Yes, he's having to wait for Top, but he's got his ducks in a line already, he's just awaiting the boss' signature. Us...not a clue

Lowdown on Hubert? Looks young?

Lots of green flags though, despite his age. Took over a troubled Anderlecht side mid season and actually did more than decent there considering the circumstances (injuries and a generally rather imbalanced squad). He was their U18 manager prior and was very well spoken of back then as well. 

 

Apart from that, he wants to play 433/4231 (which is in line with the club's request and one of the reasons apart from the results why they want Coleman gone), has a clear and well defined vision on how he wants his team to play, is an ex-player of ours, and is generally known as a charismatic and intelligent individual. Real leader on the pitch back in the day as well.

It's in the Leicester City forum to be fair.

It is, and I can imagine there being other topics that you don't give a sod about. Do you feel the need to loudly declare that as well?

I give a sod about Leicester City, that's why I'm here.

Yes, and we're related to Leicester City in the sense that we have the same owner, are technically sister clubs, play a friendly every year, you've had some players on loan with us in the past, some youth teams of ours come to Leicester regularly for excursions, etc... All in all, we're a bit relevant to your club, whether you like it or not. So again, you can not give a sod about us.

 

I just find it quite odd how certain people always have to loudly declare how they don't care about something. You don't? Fine. Just don't read it then? It's not like your being forced all of this down your throat.

Sadly there is always one

Top's finally started checking his emails the pass few days then

[AjcW]

Honestly wouldn't wish that on you guys!

other than the annual OHL training camp and preseason friendly is there much of an a working relationship between the 2 clubs? We certainly make no use of having the same owners when it comes to signing players from them we barely send any players on loan there either which seems to defeat the entire purpose of multi club ownership

Every loan other than Sowah has been a failure and I think there old manager Marc Brys hated the whole loans from us and stopped it

I know that our youth teams regularly come to Seagrave. Apart from that, not really, mainly because of what Ryy mentioned. Sowah was the only really successful loanie, and Eliott Moore ages ago was decent. The rest failed, some quite spectacularly (Opoku, Eppiah, Kapustka, Hirst, Benkovic). I think after Benkovic flopped, they just gave up on it.

[Jimmy]

Hirst wasn't a loan you signed him and he's the only player we have signed from you, basically I think we used you to get around paying compensation to Sheffield Wednesday
