Great news, hope we can now move on through all fronts as levy should have some spare time and get our players, shirt sponsor and Stadium sorted

 

[Wardy]

Anyone got a link to transfers he's been involved with in previous clubs?

[MyNameIsNicolaBerti]

Great news! Now we'll only have to wait two and a half months for the transfers to complete!

 

[talkshowhost86]

Good to see it finally announced. Hopefully that means he's ready to go to work.

Lets hope he can work his magic in the transfer market and get in the players we desperately need to take us to the next level.

Outstanding news anyhoo.

 

[tototoner]

cannot see him making any difference at all to the way Levy operates but nice to give the fans some false hope for a week or 2

Yep. He's been for at least 90 minutes already and...nuthin'.

Not sure DL needs to change much. Financially cautious etc. What we've been lacking, imvho, these last few yrs is a coherent strategy. Hopefully this means we will see one implemented, instead of the trans-global round the houses we embark on each and every yr, with largely the same names touted over and over again.

 

[onthetwo]

cant believe we didnt go with Joe Kinnear - Spurs through and through and he knows Fergie!

"Franco is extremely well respected in the industry, possessing an extensive knowledge of players around the world," said Chairman Daniel Levy.

"He will strengthen our football management team, particularly in the field of recruitment, working closely with Andre Villas-Boas and Tim Sherwood across all levels on the playing side."

Newcastle appoint Joe Kinnear to work alongside Alan Pardew, who didn't even know about it.
Tottenham appoint Franco Baldini to work alongside AVB, who specifically requested it.
