Dr. Kucho

Statistically he did a very good job at Vitesse. Finished fourth in the league and reached the Dutch FA cup final. I don’t know much about the football he had them play and what the fans thought of him (I leave nearer to their arch rivals N.E.C Nijmegen and very few Vitesse fans leave around here). Vitesse did have this dodgy Russian owner called Valery Oyf. There was much speculation that he didn’t have any money himself and that it was all a coverup. The person bankrolling the club was Roman Abramovich and if I remember rightly Chelsea and Vitesse were sold around the same time. Vitesse always had loads of Chelsea loans, so don’t know how much ‘freedom’ Spors had in signing players. Vitesse was eventually sold to this American guy, who made a huge mess of the club. They had a huge amount of points deducted last season, were relegated and had more points deducted again this season. Clubs a mess and the chance is they have to vacate their stadium in a few years (one of the ugliest stadiums around).

When Spors turned up at Vitesse he appointed Thomas Letch, a German unknown to the Eredivisie. Don’t know what he did at Genoa, but can see him go for Rohl for many reasons. Knows the championship, knows the club, they have worked together and he’s doing a decent job at Wednesday. Here he is seen as doing a good job at Vitesse, under the dodgy ownership they had. They renewed his contract but he left once Genoa came knocking.

Turkish isn’t saying we should protest against Spors, his point is that we have accepted poor leadership since Sports Republic gained ownership. They have made mistake after mistake and us fans haven’t let them know what we think about them.

If Potter doesn’t rate we could try to persuade him to join again in the summer. Knows the club, local and he’s not going to get an England call anymore with Bellingham, Palmer etc fighting for the same position.

How did you come to supporting NEC?

If I remember rightly Schneiderlin played a great assist for one of the goals. If that had been a City or Liverpool player doing that the pundits would be going on for ages about it.

This then another year in the Championship. It would have been the same result if we went up a year later with Martin and his tactics and the poor recruitment. Maybe best if we do beat Derby’s record, that could result in Dragen making more drastic changes to this SR scam. Remove more people and recruit others who have got good track records at other clubs. Find someone who says you cannot go cheap in the PL and expect to survive. And don’t be so obsessed with data. Data should be assisting, not leading in recruiting new players.

What might help is to somehow get the national press to report more on SR’s terrible leadership. Blackmore and House aren’t going to ask difficult questions to SR as they could easily lose their contacts within the club. If we end up with the lowest points tally at the end of the season we might get more articles from the press, and SR would laughed at nation wide.

We played good attacking football but sadly it ended in a narrow defeat.

Does Rasmus still do his ‘motivational talks’? Maybe we could pretend to be some local up and coming entrepreneurs and book him for a Q&A. Duckhunter to host the event.

What an absolute helmet.

Juric has just started in the busiest time of the year. He has to implement a new style, tighten up the defense, find a way we can score goals all in a few training sessions around the festive period. Edit: and get the players fitter.

Thinking back of Martin’s sacking, it happened so soon after the match and that’s something you don’t see very often. I wonder if it was decided during the match that he had to go or if Dragan demanded it was done immediately. With Jones I believe it was rumored that he had to get a result against Wolves (and we all know JWP squared the ball instead of hitting the target in the last minute). Even then it was the day after that the news came we sacked Jones. Just thinking back and maybe someone had heard something how it led up to his removal.

Napalm Death, love listening to them whilst training.

Pompey, he wants to stay in the area because of Lucy.
