OTF 8418 Posted March 29, 2024 Share Posted March 29, 2024 On 29/03/2024 at 07:06, PaddockLad said: Errr…wasn’t one of the main reasons why Tonali decided to leave Milan was that they’d got rid of Maldini? 🤷🏻♂️ 👀 I don't know if that's true, but you're right about the timing; Maldini was sacked in June, Tonali sold in July. My bad. Who knows when our interest started, reports of us tabling a bid came in June. There's no way in the world that we should have an interest in Maldini though! Football directors ideally have an understanding and experience with a variety of football internationally, Maldini is an absolute legend of the game but having spent his entire career in Milan that insularity works against him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBass 3045 Posted April 2, 2024 Share Posted April 2, 2024 (edited) So this ref's a blind cunt. We get nothing for Barnes being wrestled to the floor, they get a free kick for tripping over themselves. Fucking shocking! Edit: Fuck, wrong thread!

I occasionally hear them and (very rarely) see them out the back of mine. But the former is actually a male call and the latter is a female’s response. Anyway there were these two blokes in a village in Devon several years back that started making the calls (using a bird whistle or something). But, unbeknown to them, they were calling to each other, not another owl. It went on for ages and it was only due to a random conversation between the two fella’s wives that they discovered the truth.

Dr Gloom 23642 Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 as if his shampoo empire wasn't enough, paul mitchell has had a successful career as a scout/technical director Recruitment career In January 2012, Mitchell joined Championship club Southampton as Head of Recruitment. The club gained promotion to the Premier League in his first season and Mitchell began working with Mauricio Pochettino following his appointment in January 2013. He oversaw the signings of players including Nathaniel Clyne, Maya Yoshida, Paulo Gazzaniga and Steven Davis. Following Pochettino's move to Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur, Mitchell completed his switch in November 2014 to link up with the manager. He helped the club sign players such as Dele Alli, Son Heung-min, Kieran Trippier and Toby Alderweireld. In February 2018, Mitchell was named Head of Recruitment and Development by Bundesliga club RB Leipzig. In his first transfer window with the club, Mitchell helped sign Matheus Cunha and Nordi Mukiele, as well as Arsenal youth prospect Emile Smith Rowe on loan. Mitchell attracted interest from several Premier League clubs throughout 2019 and was heavily linked to a move to Manchester United. Reports suggested he was offered an expanded role as Technical Director to oversee Red Bull's global football – including FC Liefering, Red Bull Salzburg and the New York Red Bulls. In June 2020, Mitchell joined Monaco as sporting director Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 49974 Posted April 23, 2024 Share Posted April 23, 2024 I'm confident this lot will be doing a very thorough job on recruitment. If they want the shampoo man, so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
