Not sure if anyone follows the academy or is interested in the slightest…we seem to habe imported a full roster of kinetic academy coaches (joe shields links) - lastest being dan hogan as u18s coach…instead of hass sulaiman- who seems to have been demoted to being part of looking after the loan group…

he's been a coach at the club for 18 years and by all sccounts does a great job. Overlookrd so a kinetic coach can take the role…

Not saying its rotten but it doesn't half stink….

Is it an upgrade?

No definitely not tom- Hassan has done excellent work, seems to be something sketchy going on with kinetic.

I’m sure he has done excellent work, otherwise I assume he wouldn’t be at the club but is the alternative better? Or, are you pre-judging the situation for some reason. I have a biased opinion on most things but I do like to occasionally give change a chance.

I’m not sure what “sketchy” is in this instance. My guess is, we have to wait and see if it’s better or worse.

It disentangle really matter, the players will be sold for profit.

When and if a player is sold I hope it’s always for profit.

Will be interesting with such a young team to see if any of our academy players take on the challenge of breaking into our first team squad. We will, as always lose some talented players.

If it fits an "agenda" and that is what you believe then fine.

Whats sketchy is suddenly a bunch of coaches connected to joe shields get jobs…. and no the guy replacing hassan is nowhere near as qualified and has been at the club a couple of months.

Of course it could just be he has impressed the people who make these decisions.

I also assume he was “qualified” before joining club? Not everything is a conspiracy.

Hassan has been u18 coach since 2023 and Harry hudson was part of macfarlane u21 coaching staff and has stepped up since macfarlane has been asked to join the first team.

This is why I find this place frustrating. I had to come back to reply to this.

Stop spreading absolute rubbish. This is all on the clubs website for you to read. Unless you think the club are hiding something. Then you are the reason I don't want to be part of this community.

I suggest if you are actually from England (which i believe some arnt) you go watch our amazing youth teams.

CFB, thanks so much for the clarification. As I said before I hope you don’t leave the site permanently.

Chelsea forever blue- the story Dan hogan is replacing Hassan as 18s coach, harry hudson was not mentioned by me and again he was the 18s assistant coach not 21s. atleast read the posts before going on the attack mate come on.

There doesn’t seem to be a conspiracy to me. It just seems like a normal re-shuffle.
