New technical director ?

So you appoint your own Board these days and manage upwards?

Why not? Should be football people the buck stops with. You wouldn't have a chef running an IT company.

If he had any balls and post what his previous user name, most have been on a while to have even heard of this mythical clack, been trying to narrow it down, it's not Fetters because he's not called me a **** :-)

It's SHB.

Phelan's pace is very reminiscent of another poster who's user name started with P

So obvious. Has he been rebanned already ?

Welcome to mine except when it displeases you in which case I'm categorized as a rag or a wum.

Re Khaldoon you're bang on. If the whole Pep gamble fails to pay off and half a decade after winning the league, which prompted widespread predictions of unrivalled dominance, we find ourselves as just another big club who usually make the top 4 but have only won the title once in the ensuing 5 years then his reasons for hiring Txiki and Sori should be looked at in depth.

One theory I have is that when Khaldoon first took the reins as a hugely successful man he tried to pull all the football strings himself by hiring a man he chose but when in his view the Mancini era turned sour maybe he decided to take a step back and delegate and what better delegates to appoint than those he thought were responsible for Barca's wondrous football at the time.

Hypothetically speaking who would you blame if Pep fails here ?

Pellegrini.
