Royal_jimmy Seems like Kia is still responsible for finding new managers for us. He was in attendance yesterday


No, it seems like Kia attended a football match yesterday.

I know it can be difficult to disentangle these things but what evidence is there that Ince, Paunovic, or Bowen were Kia's appointments?

I vaguely remember he had some connections to Gomes and Clement but happy to be proven wrong there.

Would seem odd that we're spending time recruiting for our scouting network if Joorabchian is still in charge. He does seem to be a convenient Bogeyman.

His agency represents Mamadi Camara, Nelson Abbey and Michael Craig. Thats an equally plausible explaination for his presence at a match.

He's just an agent, a popular one for the wrong reasons, but just an agent alongside probably many others that we've had regular involvement with.

Let's not forget he also brought the likes of Joao to the club who has had a successful period with us on the whole and got us the goals (alongside Swift) which saved us last season.

Not that I think he's been a positive or anything, but he's had his successes in amongst a sea of failures, but that responsibility rests on the club rather than him.

Only if they're in the squad.
