saint_stevo Posted 7 September, 2008 Share Posted 7 September, 2008 "When I eventually I retire i'd love to come back to england and own a football club. There's alot of clubs out there that have huge potential to be big especially those with good youth set ups. I'd love to get involved with The FA's grassroots scheme and introduce my own style of development into English football. I like the looks of clubs such as Ipswich, Derby and Southampton because these are the types of clubs that are developing youngster players on a regular basis, especially Southampton who have implemented a new system for development whereby the younger players are given a chance in the first team. For the moment though i'm just concentrating on my playing career because I don't have long left so i want to play to the best of my ability and enjoy the rest of my playing career."

VectisSaint Posted 7 September, 2008 Share Posted 7 September, 2008 Have the Academy scouts been watching Brooklyn? We should get him signed up then Becks would be bound to take us over. Even if he was no good we could keep him in the team, after all Pulis would be nearing retirement age by then. I guess the only problem is that we no longer have scouts overseas.

Why do we need scouts overseas to sign up Brooklyn???... We have Tijuana Tim on the job for us in that part of the world - maybe he could cut TSW in as a part agent so we get the fees:-) TT = get on with it!

So don't want a profile person who comes in and brings enough money and pzazz to the club so the better youngsters don't have to be sold and we can attract even better ones here for next season Perhaps Ashley or Fulthorpe (lol) would be a better bet then?

Colinjb Posted 7 September, 2008 Share Posted 7 September, 2008 Intresting that he keeps tabs of what is going on in the english domestic game outside of the top flight.

Wes Tender Posted 7 September, 2008 Share Posted 7 September, 2008 Is he actually rich enough? According to Wikepedia, their joint wealth is estimated at about £112 million, so together they are probably worth far more then Lowe, Wilde, Askham, Crouch, Richards and all the other charlatans who are are currently involved on the board or own shares in the club. Even if he used 10% of his wealth, which would be sensible for him not to risk more than that, it is still sufficient to buy us, but not enough to invest in additional players. But if there was any truth in this article, he would be using what we have here already. Whether we'd want him or not is a different matter. Him and say Keegan together, that would be an interesting proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torrent Of Abuse Posted 7 September, 2008 Share Posted 7 September, 2008 If you're going to quote an article, you really need to include the full quote. You missed a bit from the middle paragraph: "I like the looks of clubs such as Ipswich, Derby and Southampton because these are the types of clubs that are developing youngster players on a regular basis, especially Southampton who (along with their forward-thinking chairman and exciting management team) have implemented a new system for development whereby the younger players are given a chance in the first team. I would be absolutely thrilled to be involved. Thrilled, I tell you. Tom [Cruise] was bouncing up and down on the sofa when I told him about it."
