Hello did someone mention my balls
Eric Ramsay joins the first team coaching set up
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date
It's not his remit or skill. We're hiring a throw in specialist...Rory Delap
In olive oil
Definitely extra virgin
Oh wow.
Have we poached him directly from Chelsea or had he already left them (and if so why?)
Nice to see the coaching team evolving, that's how Fergie kept things fresh and success continued

I don't think it can be called poaching as such. He decided to leave for what he sees as career progression is my take. Slightly related but a friend of my son works for Chelsea and does say that they aren't the best when it comes to paying staff like this. We get misled into thinking that because of Roman's billions everyone gets an amazing wage
whether you want to call it poaching or not my point was have we got him from them directly or had he already left? Seems by what you've said he was still very much with Chelsea before this which makes it all the sweeter. Also worth pointing out Chelsea were stupidly good at set pieces last season under Lampard especially
He hadn't left. the way it works with non playing staff like any other employee is that you can leave with the appropriate notice
Edit..headhunted would be a better term
Took a while, but we are finally making progress.
First press?
I mean why wait until everyone else has had their fun with the olives
Lovely. @devilish will be around any moment now, crying about 'nepotism'.
Hopefully the first of a few. Hopefully he lives up to the billing, would be absolutely great to see the club get another one or two coaches in with more experience than what we've got, with strong ideas on tactics and team movement.
I didnt say that

haha! Anyone who can teach our full backs to throw it to our players will do
Is that with pineapple or a fried egg?
Our set-piece defending was horrifying last season so this could be good news.
Well. Given our childish set pieces, looks perfect for the job
Hopefully, build up from the back will also improve.
The kind of CV that fills you with confidence. Quoting Ole, we're really fortunate to land him.
Frank Lampard brought in Anthony Berry to coach set pieces and defense. When Tuchel came he was impressed with Berry and kept him as a coach for the same reasons. Ramsey probably seen with Berry being a younger coach, he was not going to get promoted. He is a very promising coach.
Beat me to it! You da man.
Was just going to say the same myself. Did a year at Chelsea and they let him go. Wonder why?
Unbelievable that you have somehow made a wrong assumption. We poached him for Chelsea and he wasn't let go.
That's because it's a promotion. He was working at u23 for Chelsea and now he'll be working here with the senior squad.
It’ll take a while before his ideas bear fruit. As for any new coaches.
He taught me to make a perfect burger on youtube
Excellent.
Glad we are making changes as they were needed.

Great to know that Paddy McNair is still remember in the cafe
That brings back some memories
Indeed. Someone should explain to Ole that the country is within the world, thus rendering the final part of his sentence utterly superfluous. He needs to go back to school to study geography and stay there until he passes his first big test.
That's quite a cringeworthy reaction to a normal line.
I just don't think he can be trusted as Manchester United manager until he can explain the formation of an oxbow lake.
This thread will be bumped everytime we concede from a set piece.
That's fair tbf.
I knew you'd come round.
