Jenz parallels with Jota

279

At 23, German central defender Moritz Jenz emerged from the Fulham youth setup two years ago.  A season in Switzerland with Lausanne, then one in France with Lorient, 45 games in total, is apparently enough to convince Celtic to move for the player.

Interestingly, before leaving London, he was in the same Fulham youth team as Matt O’Riley.  It seems likely that much of our scouting of the player took place before he left England.

Last season was a start-stop period for Moritz.  He kept his place in the team until injury kept him out for six weeks until December.  Thereafter he was as often on the bench as the starting line-up, as Lorient struggled to avoid relegation.

The parallels with Jota are also interesting.  Moritz is one month younger than the Portuguese, who also drifted between starting line-up and bench before arriving at Celtic, as his previous club struggled near the bottom of the league.

    Words fail me on this below, this started because the BBC reported huns singing sectarian songs.

     

     

    ‘The BBC acknowledges that there have been occasions when parts of the coverage of Rangers FC have not met its editorial standards. It has apologised for those instances and is happy to repeat those apologies now. We now look forward to a positive ongoing relationship with the club.”‘

    FC Barcelona are not and have never been declared bankrupt. President Josep Maria Bartomeu and his board ran the club into tbe ground by buying players the club couldn’t afford and paying wages with money they didn’t have. Bartomeu was eventually run out of town in and Joan Laporta was voted in as President.

     

     

    The new board sold valuable assets, including Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, and renegotiated player contracts on greatly reduced terms to help mitigate the massive debt. New CEO Ferran Reverter said if the club was a PLC it would have been dissolved.

     

     

    The club has negotiated a line of credit with Goldman Sachs worth over €500m, repayable over 10 years @ 1.98% interest to help the rebuild, which explains the £42m purchase of Lewandowski.

     

     

    Because of the action taken by Laporta and his board, there is no FFP breach.

     

     

    Interestingly, Bartolemeu was also found to have been paying money to journalists to keep quiet about his financial indiscretions. For decades Scottish journalists have been doing that for nothing. The fools.

    I wondered what the ‘dispute’ was all about. How does reporting on racist and sectarian singing not ‘reach editorial standards’? The BBC reported that they are 150 years old and won their 55th championship now that does ‘not reach editorial standards’

    Ha, ha, you couldn’t make it up.

     

     

    They’ll be even more deferential and sycophantic for fear of being booted out again.

     

     

    Tax payer funded Hun propaganda.

     

     

    What a country.

  10. So the BBC have grovelled to the Huns so they can go inside their favourite place. A disgrace.

  11. Tom McLaughlin on

    The dispute between BBC Scotland and Rangers had nothing to do with them reporting sectarian singing. It was about Michael Stewart calling James Traynor “a bully”.

     

     

    Very telling that their new anchor man on Sportsound is Kenny McIntyre, a staunch Hun.
