    Our new Head coach is already in this morning. Not bad going, considering how late Saturday night Sunday morning the Rowdies game was. Must have come more or less straight off the plane
    Can't wait to get started.. Like it.

    That’s good going, he can’t have had much kip. Definitely a statement of intent. Can’t wait for the first interview. I think we’ve got a good ‘un.:)

    Presuming it was rented out rather than just sitting empty, he wouldn't just be able to move in. Depending on the rental agreement he couldn't take possession for a minimum of 2 months.

    I think the club own a specific apartment at Gateway Plaza for Managers. So that’s where he’ll be.

    Hopefully it's better than the office block side where the water would run down the inside of the window when it rained.

    He can crash with me, if he’s desperate. Guest bed in my art studio. Just don’t try to touch the dog, he’ll have your hand off.. :)

    Would imagine it's good time to move with school age not sure how the academic year works in the states but they will have next couple of months to get them sorted over here.

    Schools in USA usually finish at the end of May and return in August. So his kids are likely to not see many of their peers again if they move.

    There is a separate argument that the USA schools system is behind ours, with our A levels being the equivalent to their first year degree.

    I watched Neill’s last game in charge of the Rowdies on YouTube.
    Comfortable win. Very emotional scenes at full time, with players, staff & supporters. His young lad was in tears. I don’t know whether that was the occasion, or realisation that his little life is about to be turned upside down?
    Not my family, not my business. But it’s something to consider, while we try to re-shape again, as a football club.. :)

    Hoping the clubs media team have recorded Collins & Stead arriving, meeting Disco, the players etc, alongside an interview & clips of training.

    I remember when Goran Lovre lived there. We paid him far too much.
