Zander1903 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 was there not a external "audit" carried out not long ago, if it improves the team i think it can only be a positive move by the club gotta move with the times Link to comment
Medw1311 Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 Seems one of the new guys major remits is to help the young loons with the transition from youth to first team. Link to comment
Big Dode Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 12 minutes ago, thurso said: Who are they and what do they do With the recent arrival of Jimmy Thelin as the new First Team Manager of Aberdeen FC, and driven by the Club’s ambition to consistently challenge for major honours, Aberdeen FC has engaged with Ekkono Soccer Services. The collaboration will see the provision of support to Aberdeen FC, with Jimmy reunited with Fran Rubio – who he worked with during his successful period at Elfsborg – seconded from Ekkono to Aberdeen FC to be part of the First Team coaching structure, with a specific focus on individual player development and implementation of the game model. Steven Gunn, Director of Football Aberdeen FC: "Jimmy enjoyed much success through Elfsborg’s collaboration with Ekkono, with their support being a key component of Elfsborg’s positive progress on the pitch. Alongside supporting the execution of the game model, Fran will have a key focus on players within the transition phase between Academy and First Team football, providing focused individual support to our emerging talent and younger First Team players." Miquel Farrerons, CEO Ekkono Soccer Services: "It is an honour to join forces with such a powerful project at a historic club like Aberdeen FC. We will give our best to achieve the desired results." 2 Link to comment
Big Dode Posted August 8 Share Posted August 8 All in all it seems like we are truly taking positive steps towards being a club that develops talent, I think that is probably the best direction we could go in. You gotta give it to Cormack to have made such big decisions. 2 Link to comment

Could of been both him and the club deciding it’s time , with jimmy coming in simmie may not work the way jimmy wants and there is the new broom sweeps clean so it is expected people would be moved on , or maybe he jumped before he was pushed Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Sad to see Simmie go and would have been nice if he could have fulfilled an ambassadorial role with us. However, the coaching set up needed a complete shake up. There were too many remnants from previous manager appointments in and around the first team. Looked like a collection of individuals rather than a cohesive coaching team. Link to comment

If Simmie is working for RAM, than I’d expect to see him in their executive boxes on match days, entertaining clients etc. which he’d be very good at. So, an ambassador of sorts 1 Link to comment

dave_min Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Do “Ekkono” actually have any sort of track record for this kind of stuff, or is it just more jobs for the boys? Link to comment

They were doing the exact same job with Elfsborg and Fran Rubio worked with Jimmy over there. I see they also work with HJK as well as clubs such as Barcelona & PSG. Link to comment
