The Daily ITK Discussion Thread - The Empty Edition 19th June 2013

[dk-yid]

Here we go down the ITK roller coaster again:

@jetsetyid: New top scout who is mate of DE is not a swede but worked there. I'm too embarrassed to name him as Wikipedia isn't kind!
FFS DL sort it out.

Edit: @jetsetyid: I could elaborate more but I'm not going to!!

Followed by:

@jetsetyid: DL has been told too ??!!

Erm.. what? can someone decipher this for me. I didn't learn twit-speak in school ....

 

[dk-yid]

In the mayhem yesterday did we catch the ITK on stadium and shirt sponsor from someone called Billy White on COYS that was later confirmed by POTL ?

Don't see it in the RO, but the again I suppose that is only for player ITK.

Darren fucking Eales

Is that some sort of perverted pescatorial sex act? Edit - all join in for the conga!

Feel slightly better about all this today. Managed to book a (July of course) holiday last night. Resisted looking at the thread for more than 1 hour, somehow!

PS - thanks ID by the way .

 

[matthew.absurdum]

Darren Eales. Please do try and keep up. We covered this yesterday over several pages....


Yes, I also didn't catch it the first time around and had to ask....

Thanks mate

 

[srups34]

So according to JJ our new chief scout is as useless as tits on a bull. Nice

 

[ButchCassidy]

Erm.. what? can someone decipher this for me. I didn't learn twit-speak in school ....

My best guess... Eales (or someone else) has named a friend of his (someone who has worked in Sweden) as chief scout, someone with what must be a thoroughly underwhelming history. JJ's sources are not happy, but DL has been told and is ok with it?

 

[sunnydelight786]

Am I the only one who's finding JJ's tweets completely out of character to how he normally tweets?

 

[Sandro30]

@Ginter28: @jetsetyid does he have history of finding decent players at least or is he just clueless and causes trouble?

@jetsetyid: @Ginter28 neither !! Ha ha sorry

 

[harry's chin]

is he talking about that Aussie chap Magrone??

 

[Breezer]

I thought AVB would have his own scouts and they would all report back to Baldini. Why would we sign another chief scout that has nothing to do with AVB. UNLESS AVB selected him!?

 

[Yid-ol]

@Ginter28: @jetsetyid does he have history of finding decent players at least or is he just clueless and causes trouble?

@jetsetyid: @Ginter28 neither !! Ha ha sorry

So he doesnt have a history of finding decent players, or being clueless.....

to me this is a non story, seems to be a look at me tweet as i cant see how he can be neither, its one or the other.

Cheers. That's much clearer.

Billy White (a brand new poster on COYS)

​

We are very much so behind on a new shirt sponsorship deal. DL had been trying to acquire a combined shirt sponsor and naming rights (new stadium) sponsor for the next three years for a long time, but has had no luck in doing so. We are now scrambling to try and get ahold of something this week.​

Hmm... Baldini can always reappoint another Chief Scout... No?

 

[Hoopspur]

Why are we getting upset over the appointment of a scout, either full time or as a consultant? The more scouts the better imo, unless of course the final decisions are chosen soley by him, which of course they won't be.

Slow ITK means more news on non-issues. I demand to know more about Doris the tea lady.

 

[easley91]

Here we go again.

All the Swedish talk yesterday has given him some Ikea ideas.

This is a 'put it together yourself' day.

Why would JJ be upset about a new head youth scout?

For me, the naming rights & lack of sponsor is waaaaaay more concerning. It will take up a lot of DL's time, so lets hope Baldini is in ASAP and with a very clearly defined remit and power to get transfers done.
