ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 not sure what you mean? and still waiting for reply about what I made up?! You made up your statement that he would not be available for a couple of games. But to be fair I accept that is just your opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Charlie Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 You made up your statement that he would not be available for a couple of games. But to be fair I accept that is just your opinion. And you say he won't be available until Christmas. Clearly the truth is that he will be available somewhere in between, probably mid October.

ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 And you say he won't be available until Christmas. Clearly the truth is that he will be available somewhere in between, probably mid October. Like me Doc you don't know but sometime this year will be a bonus and coach JP can have his first look and make decisions wether he will improve the team or even the squad. As a fan I truly hope so.

dubai_phil Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 ...............I really do hope they get fit sooner than later but before you start, I really do hope The Director of football has chosen well. To be fair he gets about 1 in 10 right which is not bad for a non football man. JP as a football man if left to his own football decisions would, I suggest would really begin to earn his money. Think we're missing the bleedin obvious here in our rush to fit everything into the "politics model" Why we all of a sudden seem to be signing French kids? Is it only me that detects the waft of our French connection here? The man who "set up" the Academy was Rupe's (as he KEEPS letting us know) The man who made it WORK was... Georges Prost, recently "retired" to France, who would have understood very well what Rupert is trying to do, and will possibly get some personal satisfaction watching the youngsters now step up to the plate. Somehow I don't think that Mike Wilde has spent all summer scouting out obscure young players in the French Leagues, somehow think this may have been about experience with kids and contacts... GP may be gone, but somehow I don't think he's been forgotten, maybe he's trying to help??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Shearer Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 If Prost is still out there 'scouting' for us than I am more then happy for him to keep doing, considering what he did with out set up - along with the other guys (the one who has gone to the FA and other to Liverpool I believe). Lets use them as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Prost working as a scout can only bring possible stars of the future and maybe the odd player for to-day ie Spiderman who appears to be a real find. I hope it continues for the good of the club. I support the club and was only very concerned in the present financial climate that we not only gamble on future stars but those that are not fit. Then again if Gasmi is that good then worth the gamble. I'll keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best. In Jp I trust at least for the moment. Do not give up on our own academy because of a few set backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldNick Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 I think GP and RL have good relationship. GP resigned when RL was to be ousted and commented he thought RL was unfairly treated. I think GP is a great judge of a player and we will do well by taking heed of his recommendations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubai_phil Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/video/video/display.var.2369021.0.0.php?search=staplewood prost link Amazing what analytical skills can interpret, I feel quite chirpy about having worked that out myself from so far away:-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ottery st mary Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Full credit to you Sir Phil, but lets not forget Mr Wilde who is beavering away there in the background as The Football Chairman and everyone else is taking the credit. Sink or swim. One for all and all for one. But in reality let us hope and pray that the Frech Youth is just an extension to the Academy and continues getting us results on the field and in the bank. If they get it right, we the fans can slap ourselves on the back. If they get it wrong we can blame the Directors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elvis Posted 2 September, 2008 Share Posted 2 September, 2008 Song for Gasmi - has to be based on 'Orgasm Addict'. Could be a bit of a chant.... 'We're all Gasmi addicts' or something. Got my coat already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GP may be gone, but somehow I don't think he's been forgotten, maybe he's trying to help??? GP had already announced his intention to return to work in France when he was diagnosed with cancer. Lowe renewed his contract so that GP wouldnt have to worry about where the next penny was coming from whilst he was fighting the disease. GP is very grateful to the club and to RL and IMO would do anything he could to help us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
