Opps, didn't make my query clear. I was wondering if John McMahon's team really suggest he's "long-ball favouring" compared to Ablett. Have no doubt about Brouwer's talent - or lack of it. 😛

See the 'That's bullshit' comment which was answering said suggestion Binny.

That's bullshit. Brouwer just didn't cut it.

Indeed.

Whenever I saw him play he reminded me the most of an attacking version of the ageing Pellegrino.
 
I think it lost its credibility once Brouwer's name was quoted as an example. Unfair tag on McMahon though.

Something mildly positive and hopefully the way forward is to develop our own players. It's our way and the way we have always operated, supplemented by the odd big money purchase.

Exactly. We're too humble for all that galactico nonsense and prefer to build teams and nurture our own superstars. Even when we do splash out on a big name they tend to be honest and humble lads, like Torres for example.

Honest and humble my arse.
 
Never mind Blackie Gray.
nessie started the thread and I have just been checking his profile, outside the predictions league , he has not posted since November.
I can't believe I had not noticed such a fucking good poster had gone more or less gone AWOL ...............Come back Nessie.............my palpitations might return

Yeah, he's said he'd be busy...but it'd be great to see him posting again.

True gent he is.

He's got a huge rabbit in his garden too.

This was my favourite bit:

"Ps. That baseball bat is teasing me."


How embarrassing.

It must take a fair bit of training to reach a point when a baseball bat is considered only teasing. 😱

Kinda out of the blue? Couldn't have waited till end of season?

Liverpool FC confirmed today that Academy technical director Pep Segura will take charge of the reserve team for the remainder of the season and will be assisted by U16s coach Steve Cooper.

John McMahon has passed his responsibilities as reserve team manager to Pep with immediate effect.

A Liverpool FC spokesman said: "The Club have conducted a thorough review of all operations based at our Academy as part of our overall strategy to constantly improve our youth and professional player performance.

"We have a clear vision of the way ahead and a number of changes will now be put in place to help us to build on the considerable progress already made. Pep Segura will step in as reserve team manager on a temporary basis for the remainder of this term only, before a revised structure is put in place this summer. He will be assisted over the next few months by Steve Cooper."
 
Really weird this. McMahon has done a sterling job so something else has gone on there
 
The reserves and the U18 team are basically the same teams. Maybe they're trying to link the two teams even more by getting a manager that has the same footballing philosophy as Borell.

OR...

Maybe McMahon is pissed off at the Academy.
 
Certainly a weird time to make a change like this so either something went on or McMahon was told he would be let go in summer and got the hump and left now.

The reserve team has been a bit weaker of late but that is normal for this time of year when lots of them are sent out on loan and others getting more involved in first team .

I can't imagine he can be too upset at not getting some under 18s , if he's told they are not ready or wanted for the 18s to better their development then what can he do
