Hugo Viana to be new Director of Football (Official Announcement p17)

[Rammy Blue]

Ha, great news imo.

Said that’s the reason rags tried to nip in, that Berrada must have known he was our first choice to replace Txiki, what a ****.

 

[Invisible Man's Bandage]

The most interesting part about our new sporting director, is what sporting fans have been saying online about him going to the lower leagues to pick talent. Finding hidden gems. Might see us look at the championship for players. Apparently he has an incredible eye for talent

That is incredibly worrying.

If true then it looks like we are factoring in being in a much lower league and then relying on 'unknown gems' to get us back up again.

Berrada must be fuming. Downgraded his job to then see the bloke he was in the shadow of here retire a year later.

Beautiful.

Good to see a succession plan. Amorim looks an absolute shoe-in to be our next manager - either in summer 2025 or 2026.

...or seeing it for what it is. Hiring a man who has brilliant eye for talent of players who will be cheaper but still excel at the club.

Looks like Amorim is coming then

You'll catch a few with this...

Pep doing another season to 10 at least, and Amorim then?

And complete that with green hoops as our third kit. If that doesn't force Bernardo to finally leave, nothing will.

Are we short of transfer funds then?

Apparently they attitude that to Amorim, they said recruitment was poor with Viana before that but he's great at negotiating, some of the signings they've made theyve beaten some top clubs
