Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 So excited to announce that I'll be rejoining @SouthamptonFC as Player Liaison Officer with the 1st team & Dev Squad in Oct! #saintsfc Tweeted by this chap, Hugo Scheckter, on Twitter and followed by Harrison Reed so could be true?

farawaysaint Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 Followed by Harrison Reed so could be true? Great, someone to act as a buffer between the board and players. Seems a bit young but did intern with us apparently so should at least know how we work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Le God Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 Tweeted by this chap' date=' Hugo Scheckter, on Twitter and followed by Harrison Reed so could be true?[/quote'] He has definitely worked at the club before, so its extremely likely to be true.

Maybe a recognition by the board that the comms weren't good between them and e players, as those ITK have hinted during the summer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toon Saint Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 Welcome aboard Hugo. Glad to see our recruitment department are still spotting the up-and-coming talent. Should slot nicely into the gaping chasm between Les in his ivory tower and the rest of playing squad. He looks and sounds like a posh-boy schmoozer, so should fulfill his duties to a tee. Fantastic signing. #sainthugo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably doesn't have much to do with relationships between players and the board, more like admin stuff to ensure the players are happy with the day to day stuff.

Midfield_General Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 An interesting role, also known as 'cosseted footballers' b!tch'. Simon Jordan tells some great stories about some of the stuff PLOs get asked to do, not least by our very own dear Fabrice: "Last April a Fulham player liaison officer told the papers about some of his tasks. He said he'd been called out to Alain Goma's house because 'Goma's goldfish was swimming in the wrong direction'. He'd been called to rescue a player lost on the London Underground ('he was helpless'). He'd been called out by Fabrice Fernandes who kept waking up in the morning with a wet head, and discovered the player had been 'sleeping by an open window'."

Giordano Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 He doesn't look hungry. Very good. Thank you for that. Made me chuckle. Not sure what someone like Boruc would make of him, probably a tasty sandwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFCRedandWhite Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 As said before the player liason officer is not a middle man between the players and the board. There job in a nut shell is to take care of any off field problems players may have (from needing a plumber to finding a new house) - helping ensure the players are stress free and focused on a match day .

Saint-Armstrong Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 He used to observe the academy training sessions and do some coaching with the academy, hence why the young players follow him. He then went to IndyEleven, which is how Corby Moore ended up going out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
