Redemption
One less gobshite...
As a CEO, if you don't have a watertight contact WTF are you doing? If promises were made after the deal, you'd get the board to agree them in a renumeration memo. That's the first job of a CEO, IMHO.
Absolutely not being a twat here, but just 'cos I've heard it wrong on TV and at work about 5 times in the past 48 hours, it's 'remuneration'.As a CEO, if you don't have a watertight contact WTF are you doing?

Yes it is, you're quite right.Absolutely not being a twat here, but just 'cos I've heard it wrong on TV and at work about 5 times in the past 48 hours, it's 'remuneration'.
I'm going to factory reset my keyboard on my phone for this very reason. Usually it's gibberish that comes outYes it is, you're quite right.
Auto correct in this case.
Interesting thoughts M&M.What I am always concerned about on this forum is that we do not have enough conspiracy theories, my own take is that this goes back to the pre season when SC was so annoyed with ANO (as reported by DT, leaking of contract etc.) was the ANO in fact DM getting ahead of himself and since then the relationship has been fragile? After all it took a well publicised dinner with the big man EM to resolve the contract situation and for SC to sign. Was SC very unhappy with the way recruitment was run and in fact that meeting precipitated the sackings of GS and AS, did he feel he was not having enough discussions with DM and team?
Since the signing of his new contract we all know our results have improved significantly, perhaps another part of that discussion was that he needed a football man to liaise with in the form of FG, prior to his appointment we had rumours of other DOF appointments. It would appear EM has backed him to the hilt and wants to back him in the transfer window.
in the meantime we have appointed two very experienced people to the management team in the form of Commercial and Communications. Having just listened to SC news conference you could not say he seemed in anyway concerned by the departure of DM and talked glowingly regarding his relationship with the DOF/FG. In fact you could come to the conclusion that the way he handled his contract situation and the success he has enjoyed in getting the structure he wants was a very well thought through strategy on his part.
My take too.I'm totally relaxed about this. We all make massive assumptions about the role he has played, and what he has actually been responsible for, though he should be massively lauded for bringing in Cooper. However he also let Hughton stay on for far too long, ticketing remains a mess and we couldn't get a sponsor.
Having listened to the part uploaded by Sky - Cooper is being very diplomatic. Clear though that has reported to Filipo for a while and has been told by him to focus on coaching the team not on transfer ins and outs. Looks like he is given a squad and asked to coach them. He has little responsibility for transfers.What I am always concerned about on this forum is that we do not have enough conspiracy theories, my own take is that this goes back to the pre season when SC was so annoyed with ANO (as reported by DT, leaking of contract etc.) was the ANO in fact DM getting ahead of himself and since then the relationship has been fragile?

I'd speculate he has some say though?Having listened to the part uploaded by Sky - Cooper is being very diplomatic.

I really hope that isn't the case, but Steve has been very publicly highly complimentary about his day-to-day relationship with Giraldi in a way that he never was with Murphy.Just listened to Coopers conference on Sky. He was asked about Dane but side stepped each question. Looks like Cooper and Murphy didn’t get on.
It'll be autocorrect interfering.Absolutely not being a twat here, but just 'cos I've heard it wrong on TV and at work about 5 times in the past 48 hours, it's 'remuneration'.
Far be it for me to dispute what you say, but are you stating a solid fact or merely your opinion?Having listened to the part uploaded by Sky - Cooper is being very diplomatic.

Input maybe, but not responsibility. He says (something like) I'm sure I'll be told when someone is coming in or out.I'd speculate he has some say though?
He says in the presser - Filipo asked him to focus on the coaching - previously he says that he focuses on coaching , rather than he had been asked to.Far be it for me to dispute what you say, but are you stating a solid fact or your opinion?
Once targets and potential signings have been identified, that suggests that the actual process of bringing the player(s) into the building is left solely to the recruitment people, as is normally the case at the top-level, not that Steve has no input in who those players are.Input maybe, but not responsibility. He says (something like) I'm sure I'll be told when someone is coming in or out.
He said nothing has changed with Murphy's departure, he wants to focus on coaching & it's a collaborative effort and he is happy working with FilipoHe says in the presser - Filipo asked him to focus on the coaching - previously he says that he focuses on coaching , rather than he had been asked to.
He also says that the DOF has a direct relationship with other members of the coaching staff. No indication that he thinks any of this is a bad thing. Quite the opposite.
So absolutely no change then as that was always his role as he articulated it from day one.Having listened to the part uploaded by Sky - Cooper is being very diplomatic.

That would be my guess - Steve was saying similar last summer but we know he had a big say in at least one of those who came through the door.Once targets and potential signings have been identified, that suggests that the actual process of bringing the player(s) into the building is left solely to the recruitment people, as is normally the case at the top-level, not that Steve has no input in who those players are.
Seems hunky dory from an SC point of view.The full thing
