[eddy779h34]

Cocu has agreed a 4 year deal as the new DCFC head coach which he will sign on Wednesday. he will take with him his former PSV assistant Chris Van Der Weeden and current Jong PSV assistant Twan Scheepers as his assistants, both of them will both sign 4 year contracts.

Very pleased about time we had a overseas manager
First ever non British manager at Derby or is it can't think of another

Not quite right Scheepers is only assistant at the Under 21 but there 12yrs to reach that

Having a look at various files on Cocu he did bring in some 22 to 24 year olds from other clubs/countries and Rekik's loan from Man City was extebded for the 14/15 season. What I can't find is him bringing PSV Academy kids through. The 4 newbies from the DCFC Academy who were added to the first team squad for pre season by FL are under 20. Will Cocu utilise them?

My point Swale was, and I quote "He also doesn't have a great record of bringing Academy kids through". He has bought 22 year olds from other clubs. Rekik? He was there the season before and had his loan extended. I don't know if it was Cocu who did that or his predecessor. Those actions are perfectly in line with my quote.

Or...best example of all...Nuno Santo at Wolves.

I’m quite optimistic...best not tell the ‘Brexit boys’ we’ve gone for a European...they won’t sleep.

You seem to forget the kind of opponents they had in those seasons. Even Ajax and Feijenoord were poor.

Asked the Cocu question of my physio yesterday and stressed the "youngsters" bit. My physio takes part in football quizzes as one of his hobbies and knows a lot of background. He was also struggling to come up with kids given a chance by Cocu. We might both be wrong.......

Yet his potential appointment is precisely because he has a track record of bringing youngsters through! But no doubt he will be listing the formations used as 1-4-3-2-1 etc. and your much vaunted revised way of providing formations will at last be vindicated in mainstream football!
