I hope Freund goes to Barca soon, at least that's a bit of consolation for Boehly - it's Barca, everyone just prefer them than us. He rather stays in Austria than join Chelsea, just showed the level of pulling power Boehly has.

Wouldn't be surprised if Emma Hayes leave soon, didn't the women team just lost a game on the weekend?

Aye they did, to recently promoted Liverpool, 2-1, so a bit like the men's side losing 2-1 at Forrest.

Nothing new...

 

After this went tits up, didn’t the club close ranks?

Does anyone know anything about this bloke? I know he's coming from Leipzig and they have a decent track record with scouting and transfers, however up until about an hour ago I'd never heard of him.

Determined to get someone from the Red Bull system we are then eh?

From Ben Jacobs

- Vivell was responsible for 'maintenance of the global RB footballing philosophy. He has a data driven approach and outside of Europe has a particular expertise and network in North American and Brazil. 

From that alone it gives more indication we are truly inspired by the RB model, and that Vivell would be in charge on a global scale vs internally, hence why he's viewed as the technical director. Gutted we didn't end up getting Freund as the sporting director, as Freund and Vivell would be perfect together.

Exactly.

Exactly. 

So seems like we will hire this bloke to be technical director, and still looking for someone else to be sporting director? Or will this Vivell be doing it all?

We ain't got Vivell yet either, and after the last U turn red bull did on us would not count our chickens here yet either.

He'd be technical director. 

Sporting director I wager we are waiting for Edwards. (list of candidates atm is bleak)

If we get him could be you are right and Todd has him do both roles until a sporting director can be found.

He may also have ideas on someone else within red bull for the sporting gig.
