@owlstalk Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 I felt at this moment he was a good fit to help us and that's why I brought him in. We played four, five, six games and I started to think whether he was the right one for us because of the way he plays and the way he treats our players. He was always good with the press and praise the fans. He knows how to make the press like him, which is good for him, but of course he can't damage the club. I talked to my team and they said give him more chance and maybe he would do better. I said 'okay, I will give more of a chance' but of course I still need to make a decision whether he is the right man by the end of the month. If he is not the right man, he should not recruit any players. He text me and said he had been here for three weeks and would give me a summary of the club. He said 'we are a big club with big potential but the results don't lie over the past 12 months, the club's record has been poor and doesn't have identity and the whole structure is unbalanced.' It made my very surprised because we talked about the players at the interview. When the players were not winning, he was saying something different and that the squad was unbalanced but they could still improve by bringing in the right players. He can talk to me directly because he has my direct phone but he didn't like to talk to me. He worked with our recruitment team on who he wants to bring in on loan or transfer. I said do it. Our people always start to work on the players a few weeks ago. Some we sent offers in until the window opened. I still allowed him to do what he wants. 3 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Bing Cosby Posted December 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted December 31, 2020 5 minutes ago, @owlstalk said: Chansiri on the sacking of Tony Pulis We need to start from the beginning. I interviewed him over a year ago but I was still not convinced at that time about his style of play. But this time when I interviewed him, I felt he had experience and we needed someone strong. At the beginning we need to stay up and try and get in the play-offs if we can. But the priority was to stay up. He convinced me he could do that with this squad. We talked with him one by one about every player that we have. He studied our players and squad. He convinced me that he could help and that our squad was good enough to keep us in the league. Of course, I understand we needed more players to strengthen. I also told him that I don't like the English old school. He said he would change his tactics and formation depending on the opponents. I told him I was very straight forward and that's what I want from all my managers. I told him he could contact me all the time by telephone or text. He told me he would normally have dinner once a week with the owner when he was at MIddlesbrough. We can't do that at the moment. We said we need to get to know each other more. "Oh if only we could go out to dinner more, things would be better" Like listening to our lass 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
