Woo!

So we'll face Robbie soon? Proud

Homecoming Proud

by Shed Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:13 am

Not exactly a homecoming. Would have been nice if they'd done it before our home match against them but any reunion with Robbie after these 2 years is a huge event indeed cheers

by Kick Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:14 am

Oh right

Oh well, I can imagine we'll be singing:

One Di Matteo, there's only one Di Matteo, One Di Matteo!

Such a joyous occasion it shall be indeed Proud

I am just glad he's got a job, one which, potentially, can see him managing a very solid team.

by Shed Tue Oct 07, 2014 8:20 am

Indeed. Very happy he's gotten a chance at a team of their stature and not some mid-table PL

Solid, for sure.

Rumours Robbie will want to take Eddie Newton from us to again become his assistant.

Signed a 3-year contract at a club just to be able to oversee one match. Right.

Apparently he's brought in Attilio Lombardo as his assistant.

So Eddie stays with us cheers

Roberto Di Matteo undaunted by Schalke pressure:
Newly-appointed Roberto Di Matteo says he is excited at the prospect of managing a
‘big and ambitious’ club with as passionate a fanbase as Schalke, and says finding the right balance between keeping it tight at the back and scoring goals is his aim
http://www.goal.com/en/news/15/germany/2014/10/08/5167746/di-matteo-undaunted-by-schalke-pressure

"In over 100 years, nobody has ever been able to keep a lid on the fans here. When you think of Schalke, you think of the passion of their fans, of this big and ambitious club."

"I know the demands are high here, but I've been in the football business for 24 years."

"I've worked in Switzerland, Italy, England and now in Germany and I think I've got the experience needed to deal with it."

"The impression I have is one of a good team who have a lot of potential going forwards, but certainly have a few problems in defence."

"They've had a lot of injuries too, but I think we've probably got to work on the defence a bit."

"In my opinion, you need a solid defence. Not just the back four, but the general organisation, and then you can build on that."

"If you look, you will see that my teams have always scored lots of goals."

"We'll try to play a successful game. You've got to find a balance in the team - solid at the back and have something going for you up front."

Imagine if they beat Bayern next time they play, the Bayern fans would hate him.
