If he is, then he's kept a much lower profile!!!!!

 

Maybe he got kicked out when Jan got the boot, maybe Wotte doesn't like him or maybe he's still here revising our long term strategy with Lowe:D:D

 

Given we never knew he was here (and what his contribution was), I think it's somewhat unlikely that we'd be told he's upped and left (after all we still haven't been officially told about Hockaday and Webster);)

Be interested to know if he was in the directors box on Saturday going by what Wotte said in the Echo he seems a fan of the man

 

Head coach Mark Wotte said: “Kim has been very helpful this season with his contacts in England to bring in players like Lee Holmes and Ryan Smith.

“He is one of those contacts that we have in Southampton if we want to bring in good players.

“He is well respected within the club, he is not employed by the club.

“He is an independent contact for us and we are very happy with him.”

Why on earth do we need an unknown (and probably expensive) Dutch consultant to tell us which players are lurking in the reserve teams of clubs in our own country and our own league? Do PSV and FC Twente employ English consultants to tell them who they should be looking at in the Dutch lower leagues? You couldn't make it up.

I've often wondered if it was van de Waals that convinced Lowe to take on Poortvliet. Someone must have convinced Lowe to go for a 'Dutch Double Act' when Lowe seemed happy (3 years ago) to install a lone Dutchman in Wotte. Not forgetting that it was van de Waals who was spotted at Southampton Airport with both men in March last year.

 

Who convinced Lowe to bring in Poortvliet AND Wotte and what did they have to gain, if anything, from such persuasion?

 

My hunch could be completely wide of the mark of course.....
