BP1960 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Just shows the apathy when it couldn't even raise a thread of its own until now hours after the event. Edited July 2, 2019 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millibob Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Ah but everything's great, he knows the President so we will be in a "special relationship" I assume!! Oh by the way, are our new kit manufacturers doing a club flat cap - i know they have in the past but I want to dress like the "Director of Football".

oafcshuck Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Did he mention we were signing Thierry Henry? Sure I heard it mentioned in the interview. Would people have him here, he's a bit old but surely at 41 he still has that touch of class at this level. Can't see him stopping his punditry to come and play here though.

No. One of the press said that Henry has stated in the past that HB is the best coach he has worked with. He may be a good coach, but manager?

Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Lol. He’s literally just here to coach the team. Everything else to be handled by Mo and AL and Baz. Not that it should be a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Some press conference that. School kids in attendance as well, AL fan club roots are well and true. Give them a sweetener and they’ll fall at their knees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 My favorite part was QUESTION GUY: What do you make of the players? LAURENT BANIDE: *doesn’t understand* QG: (bit slower slightly louder) What do you think of the players here? LB: *doesn’t understand, looks left for some French* a finger appears from LB’s right and prods him, says slowly and loudly so it translates into perfect French ‘YOUR. ASSESMENT. OF. THE SQUAD.’ LB then goes on to talk about something else. IMO that was fuckin ace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusunga_Is_God Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 About time Roy retired. Thanks for the effort over the years but time to ease him off any important duties and that includes commentating. Keep him around to make coffees or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OAFC1984 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) That was quite painful to listen to... And no I’m not knocking the guy no doubt in French it would be quite interesting (if you understood French) but had to turn it off after the finger part.

He spoke of the potential of the young players and his hope to help them improve. I didn’t think he did too badly for a first press conference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcfluff1985 Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Considering English isn't his first language and plenty on here said he didn't speak a word of English (FACT) it wasn't that bad at all. Can he coach them? Fuck knows, but his english isn't bad at all. Worst case scenario he'll be able to order a taxi to Manny airport easy enough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He was asked now he’s had two sessions what he thought of the squad and he answered his plan is to make youth players better. Not knocking the gaffer, l’m just laughing at how we always manage to make ourselves out as amateurish, because if l didn’t laugh at it it would probably be quite sad.
