Batman Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 Had an interesting conversation today with a Canadian who is a big ice hockey fan. Impressed that we had persuaded Kreuger to join the club. He made an interesting point about his team building skills as demonstrated in the recent Winter Olympics. Apparently Kreuger was getting lots of flak from the commentators during the games regarding his advice to the coach about substitutions. In the end they all worked and when interviewed he described that his substitution advice had two main themes, can the players on the ice counter the tactics of the players on the opposition side, and do the players on the ice work in harmony with each other. Whilst accepting that players rotate more in Ice Hockey than in football so the comparison is not exact, was his renowned advice on team harmony one of the reasons he was originally approached, and one of the reasons behind Osvaldo moving on? Pure speculation of course! Sounds like the World Cup winning Woodward on about how he could transfer his world class skills into football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minty Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 Another thing that strikes me from some of the comments made is that some people are expecting Ralph to have all the attributes himself, whereas it seems clear to me that he will provide some of the guidance and leadership for the organisation, but with Katharina, Gareth Rogers and the Hoff, we have a well defined Board, with a variety of skills and knowledge. We have effectively replaced Cortese with a Board, rather than like-for-like. And as a result returned to a more conventional corporate structure with governance built-in.

With NC we knew he would squeeze their balls dry. Hes not going to be coaching the team, so not sure the relevance of the sporting experience comment. Cortese was just one man running the club, good at the financial aspects, but not so good when it came to other important aspects of the business. Krueger might be Chairman, but he is one member of a board that comprises other individuals with specialist knowledge of those areas of running a business successfully. We have a finance director and also one to take care of the legal aspects. I see Krueger as being more a figurehead with communication and motivational skills, the sort of person that will do well in attracting corporate hospitality and dealing with the media. Regarding the ability to play hardball with other clubs wishing to buy our players, why should Cortese have the edge over the new incumbents on the board? It is simply a normal situation of supply and demand. We do not wish to sell our best players and don't have to. If you have a commodity like Lallana and Shaw, and several minted glory clubs express interest in buying them, you are in a position of considerable strength, therefore able to command a top price. Of course, when that comes to pass, we will not know that Cortese could have done better, but there is nothing yet to suggest that he could do except his past record, which again was based on top clubs wanting our players that we didn't need to sell.

What we don't know is how the new board will do in that regard. We don't have a clue. But they have the business acumen and won't be any more willing than Cortese to pay over the odds.

DuncanRG Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 Can you give many examples of NC's impressive inter-club negotiations? I can direct you to the prices at which he secured players who were targeted by bigger clubs. Transfer fees, wages and agent's fees (the latter difficult to keep down in these negotiations, I'd imagine) are all relatively low. Not for our club and its history but for what other clubs pay. The Wanyama deal went through a lot of media games and we came out on top. I'd also point to the deal he secured for Oxlade-Chamberlain. It was clear he wanted to leave (this handed Arsenal great leverage) but Cortese still managed to get a huge amount of money. Alex remains the only player who has left against our will since 2009. For a club of rising talents and modest stature that is very impressive indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitzhugh Fella Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 One person who will have a very shrewd idea which way Ms Liebherr and Ralph Kreuger plan to take this club is Mauricio Pochettino.

Lallana's Left Peg Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 One person who will have a very shrewd idea which way Ms Liebherr and Ralph Kreuger plan to take this club is Mauricio Pochettino. I have said it before, his signing a new contract (or not) will be our clearest indication of what the future holds. Yes, but at the same time if Pochettino has over a year left on his deal (and it is said to be pretty hard for another club to buy him out of that deal) then it makes no sense for him to sign a new deal until he has let this play out to see what the impact of the new Board structure is. I wouldn't sign a new deal based on 'we're going to do this' if I could stay and wait to see actually what happens before I need to make a decision. The signs are that he is already planning for next season. I was very impressed to see he (and the rest of his team) were in Manchester on Monday night to watch the U21's play. For me they aren't the actions of a man who isn't thinking about next season. I want him to stay as I think his presence holds more influence over whether or not players stay than anyone else, however he has nothing to gain by signing a new contract right now. He's clearly given the club / Board a chance to sort itself out and start working and he can then make a decision as to whether he thinks he fits in with it after he sees what impact it has. The only problem with this is that if the decision is made in the summer then it is a massive amount of upheaval for the club to deal with and the risks of that are well known. It's very easy to get dragged into a relegation fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You dont damp down speculation by lying / misleading / having an incomplete memory of events / being economical with the actualitie. Maybe he means they have never spoken about a new contract, because they have agreed to do that in the summer. Krueger said he had dinner with him and spent 9 hours together at Wembley last week. Im pretty sure MP would remember that. Edit. Just seen other thread where apparently MP said he will see out the final year of his contract regardless. non story in that case.

NickG Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 There is continuity for signings / contracts / scouting / player valuations / negotiations / agents etc with Les Reid. How did NC learn? We now have a board with LR for football side, KL for money / over view / her fathers dream A lawyer An accountant And Kruegar. RK appears to be the figure head, pulling club together, unity, vision, ambition etc. I guess he will be over seeing projects, selling the club, sponsorship etc - ensuring image etc are in keeping with the direction they are seeking etc. Seems well suited on the face of it. MP spoke at the weekend about the project etc. I've never heard anything that raises my concerns that club maybe sold or MP leave (compared with other clubs / managers).

I have said it before, his signing a new contract (or not) will be our clearest indication of what the future holds. Plus, as the man himself said, he has a year left. So for him there is no rush. Should he want to he could wait and see how the summer plays out before making a commitment or otherwise. Would be a massive boost for him to sign though, and to the people who say the season is over, our form between now and the end of the 38th league game could have big implications for a number of players and the Manager - do they see that there is still room for progression here?

DuncanRG Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 So that's a "no". That's an observation of results from the outside, which is about as good as it gets for fans. I suppose we don't know that Cortese was a good negotiator because we've not been in a room with him, but that was the consensus and the evidence we have does support that. Journalists on the inside give that impression too, and not just his favourites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 14 March, 2014 Share Posted 14 March, 2014 I'm sure he has good intentions but only time will tell if his optimism is misjudged or if his ambition is dulled by harsh reality. The trick will be not to offer too many hostages to fortune but he has already done so. Let's hope for his sake that all stays as it is through the summer so that we can make a renewed challenge in the next campaign with the resources that have carried us forward to the point at which we are now. In other words, steady the ship and set a course for fair weather climates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
