Welcome Mr Thomas on 23:39 - Oct 18 with 1627 views | ghughes11 | "previously led the academies at Watford and Leyton Orient." Embleton "Head of Recruitment" going back to LO to get an assistant? Or do we believe that MB has full control over who he wants to bring in?!? From his Linkedin profile: "Over 20 years of coaching experience, in a variety of industry related roles. I consider myself a motivated individual who combines honesty, reliability and enthusiasm, that can both lead and support, within a well organised structure. In addition I am well travelled, having lived and worked in four countries, on three different continents." Welcome to the club Richard! | |

Welcome Mr Thomas on 14:26 - Oct 19 with 1564 views | burnsieespana | My only reservation is very little experience at managing a team in the league Lots of coaching experience but have to say I feel apprehensive about the coming months with this lack of experience. | | | |
Welcome Mr Thomas on 21:43 - Oct 19 with 1517 views | durham_exile | Matt Bloomfield securely positioned as Head Coach and with an assistant who despite inexperience will provide good back up. As long as Humes is kept away then I am confident that we can start to climb the table. Up the U's | |

Welcome Mr Thomas on 22:53 - Oct 19 with 1507 views | ghughes11 | Replying to my own message after listening to the Richard Thomas interview on Col U TV.... So, Dimitri Halajko gave Matt Bloomfield a list of potential candidates to choose from and after a few telephone conversations all went well and RT was the chosen one! Robbie C seems to be going external with the following recruits: First Team Head Coach: Matt Bloomfield Assistant Coach: Richard Thomas Goalkeeping Coach: Lee Harrison Head of Recruitment: Ross Embleton As the famous football saying goes "we go again!" | |

Welcome Mr Thomas on 02:14 - Oct 21 with 1439 views | Daniel | I'm thinking RC has taken a step back from running the club and is leaving it to Dimitri Halajko to act on his behalf, hence we've seen a change in the way the club is appointing personnel and less statements from RC. Coincidentally, I see RC bought himself a golf club over the summer, so he has probably found something else to occupy his time. | | | |
Welcome Mr Thomas on 06:47 - Oct 21 with 1429 views | Leadbelly | A lot of rumours that the golf club might be a new home to the academy so the current site can be redeveloped as housing. | |

Welcome Mr Thomas on 19:37 - Oct 21 with 1371 views | wessex_exile | I heard that too. Makes perfect sense, he'll make a fortune selling Florence Park for housing, and he can build a new state of the art academy training facility with the small change left over - they are after all, 90% grass and parking. | |

Welcome Mr Thomas on 19:59 - Oct 21 with 1365 views | durham_exile | The ultimate irony here is that the club wanted to install flood lights at Florence Park and the locals objected. Let them deal with a housing developer instead. Up the U's | |
