Good appointment, hopefully continues the good work going on in the academy and develops the players even further.

Also, I wonder if his connections in Europe will be something we explore in terms of loaning players out - hopefully.

 

[Crouchy]

Cracking news.

 

[LeithGer]

Assuming this is replacing murty?

Certainly an exciting time in terms of staff coming into the club

 

[ScouseHairline]

Zeb-iddy doo da

 

[GersLoyal74]

Both Zeb and Dave Vos are hugely exciting appointments and give further indication we'll try and develop younger players for the first team in the future.

 

[DeeCeeTee]

With the appointment of Jacobs and Vos, it looks like the club is putting in proper foundations for bringing through academy players. 2 high profile signings that have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to young talent.

Probably the same idea, but different titles.

I reckon this chap will be a bit more hands on than Murty was over the past 18 months, not sure right enough.

 

[Riquelme]

Muholland, Wilson & Beale picked him after speaking to multiple European coaches:

Fair to say he will come very highly rated

 

[Supermac1872]

Interesting that Beale was involved in this appointment. I had just assumed this was in line with the first team management changes.

We have been making great moves in terms of management and leadership appointments within the club.

I’m quite glad he was as well, if Beale rates him then that’s a good thing.

 

[The Pontiac Bandit]

Another creative exciting appointment.

 

[fmp]

Another good sign for the long term success of Rangers. The future is bright.

 

[IbroxForever]

Seems another fantastic appointment by the club.

 

[cloodie]

Sounds like a very good, forward thinking, appointment.

[Rupert Pupkin]

Hopefully he can help bring through a few crackers.

He will enjoy his new club.

 

[CaptainCourageous]

Watched that a few weeks ago. Very good listen.

Interesting that Michael Beale was also involved in that process.

I watched that as well and thought it was very good, I am very excited to have Zeb on board, I think the young boys can be very excited with a guy of this calibre looking after them

What age are the kids that these guys start with?
I read years ago, that the Dutch have a very senior coach looking after the youngest of their age groups, with idea being to catch them early and develop good habits.
Makes sense to me but I don’t see it replicated anywhere.
Unless, for example, Brian Gilmour is higher rated than Michael Beale!

 

[cooprfc]

The youth pathway to the first team will now be known as Jacobs' Ladder.

 

[Lovenkrands Dug]

Hopefully we do see players loaned out to Belgian and Dutch teams in the future. Even if it's their second division, still higher quality than the championship/league 1 here and they will at least play similar styles of football and get most likely better coaching.

 

[Stevo84]

Never heard of the guy but a lot you of you seem excited by the announcement, any chance one of you can say a bit why? I want to be excited too lol

 

[Wilkinsvolley]

We’re building an excellent football structure.

you should have a wee watch of the video in post 16 is quite lengthy but I thought personally was a good watch and insight to the guy and what he can bring to us going forward, I watched it a month or so ago

I’ll check it out mate cheers, scrolled down too quick and never noticed it.

Zeb Jacobs - I know nothing about the guy, but that is a tidy name.

If I ever go into porn, that’s what I’m calling myself.

Hey ther ma’am I’m Jacobs, Zeb Jacobs.

I’m here to help clean out your pipes…boom chicka wow wow lol

 

[insanicdrunk]

Well worth a watch. I love to listen to people that have a passion about their particular skill/remit, it is so much more interesting.

I do like that he isnt of the too small not good enough coach types. Will work well in Scotland. I feel we will see a lot of changes in the academy over the coming months.

 

[insanicdrunk]

Another interesting thing he mentions, when they have a 10yo player, they need to try and think what football will be like in 10years time.

I just started watching it about 8 mins in but that was easily the biggest thing that has stuck with me so far apart from his passion for the role. As soon as he said he isn’t the type to tell the likes of Hazard that he is too small or not good enough I was sold, this guy will do for me.

Looking forward to see how the young bears improve under him.

 

[karanja]

So how does he fit into the present structure?Anybody know?

If you click on his own personal website that is linked in the youtube video. It seems he likes porn also.

where's the Michael Beale bit on that vid mate?

 

[Main Stand]

He means that Beale was involved in recruiting him bud.

oh right, cheers, if Beale sees something in this guy, then that's a good sign

 

[Riccles]

Hopefully he can help bring through a few crackers.

And what will the cream of the youth academy be known as?

 

[Leopold]

Cracking news.

I got it!

 

[Shengus Malengus]

Hopefully he hits the ground bouncing.*







*Only older bears will get that shitey joke.

Good idea,
If I ever go down that route myself, I will be known as Ibrox Van Luvbazooka..

 

[Gers1997]

Hopefully he can help bring through a few crackers.

And put a big cheesy smile on the fans happy faces

 

[Beanzie]

Hopefully he hits the ground bouncing.*

The Magic Roundabout has just finished. It's now your bedtime

That patter takes the biscuit right enough .

 

[Rupert Pupkin]

Well that would be jacobs Crackers.

I'll get my coat.

 

[insanicdrunk]

So how does he fit into the present structure?Anybody know?

He’s head of coaching, so will be under Craig Mulholland. But I think he’s pretty switched on (CM) so will set the parameters and let him get on with it.

 

[Andrew webb]

Great news

 

[Mr. T.]

Hopefully he can help bring through a few crackers.

The cream of the crop, hopefully.
