Paddy Riley

I would imagine Reilly will be gone as soon as the takeover is cleared. Xia already said the scouting network was crap and when he says something (like his comments about rdm for example) it means something is afoot. I suspect Commoli will be in soon tbh because the papers were adamant that it was a goer a few weeks ago.

If Comolli doesn't come straight away i think he may end up here when we are promoted imo but i wouldn't be surprised if he is appointed in the next fortnight

Yeah the papers were saying from day one that it would be Di-Matteo and Commoli coming in. Even saying that Commoli had already been assessing the club's scouting network and the youth systems. Him coming in after the takeover is complete makes perfect sense as he'd be no use under the Lerner regime.

Yeah I've said myself I think Comolli might actually be involved as it did seem to come out of nowhere in a story that has proved partly true, but I'd imagine if he's not announced when the takeover goes through or soon after, then he never will be and it wasn't true.

Trading Reilly for Comolli is like trading a beat up, broken down Honda Civic that has a shitty paint job for a brand new Lamborghini. We won't know what to do with ourselves.

Appointing Comolli means that Dr Tony means business. I'm glad he spared no expense at appointing RDM's staff, so hopefully he continues investing in the best people behind the scenes at the club.

That is true and a good point, from day one they indeed did name RDM and Camolli so one down one to go then to be appointed #weirdfeelingcalledexcitement

LOVE IT

Damn I thought we'd sacked Riley with this latest thread activity!!!!!

Assuming there's no smoke without fire and the early reports have some basis in truth, Comolli will come if there's money for him, for transfers and if he sees Xia is serious.

So that a Big 10-4.

Would he come now or wait until we're back in the top flight? Certainly his job would be easier with premier league football to offer players but maybe he'll see us as a personal challenge.

Riley told to go but given 200k golden handshake...... Disgusting!!

Andrew stone in and Riley now working at kwikfit walsall according to a mate, I said he's shit at everything and he agreed and posted this on youtube as proof that he really is an idiot...............
