That's for the women's team

I just can't see Alves being the new gaffer tbh. The owners are really trying to push the self sustainable narrative. You don't become self sustainable, unless you have people coming through the turnstile. It would be a massive risk, and one I'm not so sure the owners would be willing to take at this stage. After Maynard and with the nucleus of a good squad, it feels we are once again at or Williams moment. We need somebody with a bit of charisma, somebody that has the arrogance to say I'm going to come in and take you up.
Didn't realise it was for the women's team.
It does seem to be something of a trend within football at the moment for clubs to expect staff, particularly young members of staff, to work unpaid. I saw an advert for an analyst at Gillingham recently that was unpaid, but the applicant had to provide their own equipment (had to be a MacBook for some reason), and their own transport to and from games, which I find ridiculous.
Alves has only been a league coach for a year.
Prior to that he has 8 years coaching experience up to head football coach at a university, and 8 years as an analyst and another year as an "assistant" in notts county.
While that's a great background to start your career as a head coach or manager, it still makes him a basic newbie at it at our level and I don't regard him as a credible candidate.
If he went to head up a NL team and outperformed his budget by a wide margin for a couple of years? Then I'd consider it. But he just doesn't have the competitive experience we would need.
It would be a huge risk to sign him into the role and with the owners still pitching in... what is it, still at least two million pounds a year at this level, even with all the players we recently sold? I don't see them taking that risk.
Ricardo Moniz has been sacked by FC Zurich. Time to bring back the best coat in football! Apparently he found out about his dismissal through the media. Not very professional from FCZ!
Imagine Moniz with some of the players we have completely let loose
Moniz 1/20
Wilshire now favourite again at 7/4 from 10s earlier
