Birregrande Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Today's Record report had me laughing - edited highlights: “I knew that Inter aren’t a bad side. They remind me of my dad’s Cheltenham side when they were doing very well in League Two." "Individuals have to hold their hands up and be responsible, I have to hold my hands up and be responsible." I love how he can't stop blaming others, but then remembers he's supposed to be a real manager. and this is my favourite for today though, total LJ waffle... He really hates talking about himself eh? 😄 "I've got the bit between my teeth and I need the boys to show that as well. I’d say, ‘stick with us in the second leg’. It’s a game of football.

Naisys Tackle Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 “I went to Real Madrid to watch sessions in the academy, to Barcelona to watch their B team, to New York City [FC]. I had two hours with Pep Guardiola over the two games, which was great. It wasn’t just me picking his brains, it was 60-40 and he was actually genuinely interested in my ideas. We had a real fierce debate about high back lines and the speed of your back four. They played such a high line, so I created a quick free kick, lifted over the line and nearly got them.

Vlad Magic Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Hibs have this thing for hiring short managers. Short in stature, short in length of service. Short in ideas. Just short.
