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 1516 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. | | | |

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 | |

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!" | |

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. | | | |

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. | |

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. | |

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 | |
