Dogs, if you watch the full 20 min interview with him on Player you might change your opinion on that. He clearly said it was his strong intention to encourage and bring through youth into the first team.Originally posted by dogsrrs View PostAnyway it's getting away from o/p about the relationship between ### and Ollie we have to ask is the club abandoning it's latest policy of scouring lower leagues for young potential , I for one don't see Ollie as the ideal candidate to follow that route he has never been adverse to bringing older players he thinks can do a job or bringing in loans which I think he will do in January , also I don't see it as part of his philosophy to have the under 21s ect going out to go through the motions without caring about the results , for me I can see strong differing views with one or other not being please to give way
Furthermore, remind yourself of his quote in the OP.
Obviously so far it's only rhetoric but he clearly sounded very passionate on the matter, so let's at least reserve some judgment...

Stan Stan of course he wants to see young players come through as all managers do but that doesn't alter that that he will bring players in that can do a job irrespective of age on loan or otherwise as and when needed , at the moment imo we have gone to far down the road of signing young players from lower leagues had we signed a few more older players to help these younger players from various parts of the world to settle in I think it's highly likely we would be a few points better off and that's where I see Ollie's positivity differing from the slower progress we have seen over the last 2yearsOriginally posted by Stanley View PostDogs, if you watch the full 20 min interview with him in Player you might change your opinion on that.

I agree Dogs. The point I'm making is it seems Olly wants to strike a better balance of bringing through youth with older Championship experienced players - which I think you agree with too.Originally posted by dogsrrs View PostStan Stan of course he wants to see young players come through as all managers do but that doesn't alter that that he will bring players in that can do a job irrespective of age on loan or otherwise as and when needed , at the moment imo we have gone to far down the road of signing young players from lower leagues had we signed a few more older players to help these younger players from various parts of the world to settle in I think it's highly likely we would be a few points better off and that's where I see Ollie's positivity differing from the slower progress we have seen over the last 2years

Definately need to balance up with a few older heads dogs, far too many young players and not enough experienced ones, derry type etcOriginally posted by dogsrrs View PostStan Stan of course he wants to see young players come through as all managers do but that doesn't alter that that he will bring players in that can do a job irrespective of age on loan or otherwise as and when needed , at the moment imo we have gone to far down the road of signing young players from lower leagues had we signed a few more older players to help these younger players from various parts of the world to settle in I think it's highly likely we would be a few points better off and that's where I see Ollie's positivity differing from the slower progress we have seen over the last 2years

General think youve misread my post as being negative when it wasnt meant to be like that, as im chuffed to bits with ollie coming back, i just meant i think we need a couple of derry types to add bit of experience to the squad, wasnt nothing aimed at you or ollie sorry! im loving everything that ollies said about putting the shirt on etc so looking forward to every game now even with the same squad, its what we`ve needed for a while now!Originally posted by The General View PostNot you doggs

Strange appointment but I guess Ollie will just manage the first team , he was brought in to avoid a relegation scrap imo. Coaching is where we will see improvements in the youngsters we've signed, and I reckon we'll continue down the Les/Ramsey route.Originally posted by dogsrrs View PostAnyway it's getting away from o/p about the relationship between ### and Ollie we have to ask is the club abandoning it's latest policy of scouring lower leagues for young potential , I for one don't see Ollie as the ideal candidate to follow that route he has never been adverse to bringing older players he thinks can do a job or bringing in loans which I think he will do in January , also I don't see it as part of his philosophy to have the under 21s ect going out to go through the motions without caring about the results , for me I can see strong differing views with one or other not being please to give way
As for the opening quote, it's irrelevant imo.

That's what I think facts , but I certainly do think Ollie will want some older players of his choice and that's where I could see a conflict of interests between him and ### the side is in dire need of a bit more experience in certain places ie mf and up frontOriginally posted by FACTS View PostStrange appointment but I guess Ollie will just manage the first team , he was brought in to avoid a relegation scrap imo.
