The Bundisliga fans on r/soccer are bewildered, laughing are adamant it will will go extremely well or extremely badly. There is zero chance of him landing on some middle ground.

Apparently he has drinking problem, hires his son to be chief scout and is famous for falling out with people very quickly. Anyone who knows anything about this man seems to have their bags of popcorn at the ready.

Thankfully it's only a short term deal, Ward will have done much of the legwork, and his powers will be limited. However this short term deal and recruitment staff exodus doesn't smack of a club that's being effectively led behind the scenes. Let's hope his experience can get our targets over the line and we finish the summer stronger than we started.

Yup. Bundesliga fan's views on him is depressing. Stubborn, difficult to work with, falls out with people, drinking problem, son becomes chief scout. The only bit of somewhat positive opinion is that he has done well when the club does not have money and his transfers often flop when he has a decent budget to work with.
 
People are fickle. «Drinking problem and hiring his own son».
This gets a lot of attention for a 3 month deal to help us with the summer transfer window.
 


Doesnt have a budget yet?

The club can only fuck up everything is getting a bit boring in all honesty.

Almost as boring as believing everything is a positive move in the right direction.

To be honest, I’d be in the middle - I don’t think the sky is falling, but neither do I think we have just discovered the benefits of sliced bread…

Something is not right at the club though - whether all these changes are fixing it or a symptom of it remains to be seen - despite the negative/positive propaganda.
 
We're heading back towards challenging for forth as a regular target without some serious funding lads.

I doubt anyone on this site believes everything is positive. But a lot of people believe everything is negative.
 
[article]Former Liverpool striker Erik Meijer has revealed his impressions of the club's new sporting director.

The Reds have appointed Jorg Schmadtke in the role for the summer transfer window.

The former Wolfsburg man will be tasked with helping Jurgen Klopp revamp his first team squad.

“I think if you get a chance like this, a chance you didn't expect to get, then you have to take it," Meijer told the Liverpool Echo.

“Why not? I think everybody would do that. Working for a first-class club.

“I think when Jorg Schmadtke was honest to himself, he wasn't ready yet to retire. To sit down or to go to his house in Ibiza and do nothing.

“He is still a football man. I think he got a little bit restless, and then Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool came calling. And then he woke up. His eyes start shining again and he's up for the job.

“Yeah, it was a little bit of a surprise, I must be honest. Because he didn't work for the big clubs. That makes a difference. Now it's up to him to show everybody that he could do the same work on a higher level.

“He's a guy where what you see is what you get. He built up a good reputation in Germany. He's a guy that didn't make the biggest of transfers in Germany, but for the clubs that he worked for, he made something out of the money that they had.

“Liverpool can buy good players but if Man City or Manchester United comes around, sometimes it's difficult to compete with them with the amount of money that they have. Then you have to be smart, you have to be clever, and that's exactly the job that Jorg knows."[/article]
 
Thats a kick in the teeth for the people who thought he’d be hired with us because the club is fucking up and Jorg is on the sauce.
 
There's been some mix up. FSG has decided to dispense with data nerds, and hark back to the origins and qualities of old school.

Here's the actual father and son team. It was inspired by one of the lads in the Boston offices watching the last episode of Ted Lasso over and over...

"For we shall still be here tommorow, but our dreams may not..."
