He's only been here 5 minutes, how can anyone evaluate if he has been a success or not? Must have a good agent. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been at the club 3 years, but only 9 months (?) in his current role. He seems to be highly regarded across Europe. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not cynicism as such, more that to evaluate success for someone in a role like that, we likely wont know for a good few years if he has had any impact or not. Such is the nature of youth development. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
compo 6,141 Posted April 25 Author Share Posted April 25 Would be nice to think we've got this Mr Jacobs on some kind of contract that will see us receiving some compensation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
