In charge of the scouting network and academy system iirc.

Yeah, this needed a new thread

Odd appointment, but I guess there are no candidates that immediately spring to mind. Will be interesting to see if this gives the likes of Sheva a new lease of life at the club, or if it just means people like Terry whinging. don't envy Grant's positon when he starts.

Actually, given his likely wage packet, I do.

Sounds like Hearts all over again.

Stop letting Sheva, as rumours have it, ride around in Roman's personal jet and have him at the same level as the rest of the squad - might do it a bit better.

retired_Fit

rumours from within the club are that Shevchenko is not known as one for training hard so to speak

trotamundos

I don't care for rumours tbh. They don't interest me. What does interest me is if Shev steps up his game now, or if he has really fallen away.

retired_Fit

Well, they would appear to be connected. If the stories of him "training like a girl" are true then maybe that's his game falling away

retired_Fit

Herman: not one for rumours

trotamundos

If they are true they may be connected. If he gets treated differently then maybe that's connected. But we don't know if any of it's true, and we won't know, so I prefer not to link things when essentially I'm just guessing. Personally that seems a bit of a waste of time, as it could equally be for completely different reasons.

Performance has dropped, manager has gone, performance may improve. All I'm interested in really.
