Hi Ed here, as I know before we start this week's show, I'm talking to Alco Bourne, the journalist, based in

Amsterdam and he was out and about on his bike. So there are a few birds, airplanes and

ambient noises and stuff. Enjoy the show. So, This week I'm with El Cabborn, a friend of the show, who's been on before, how you doing?

I'm good, good, how are you?

Yeah, very good, thank you. How is wonderful Amsterdam these days? It's a little while since I've been.

It's very nice. It's the summertime so I'm cycling around right now, talking to you, enjoying the sun.

Nice. It's a lot of beautiful parks and places a cycle in Amsterdam, so yeah, nice.

So we've chatted earlier this summer and I thought I could talk to you about the obvious.

I think last time you came on you came on to talk about Dolly Van de Beek.

When in need of information and expertise about Dutch football, head to Elko's,

thought we'd talk about Tenhag today and the, what, 50 players from the Ari-Dvisi

or Iax that he seems to be targeting as his first signings for the club, so great. so let's start with ten hag I mean we've had a little bit of time to digest what he's about but you know what do you what do you think he's going to bring to this job and how do you think he'll approach what is a big step up in his career?

Yeah, I do think it's a big step up in his career. I have to say when he first joined IACs,

a lot of people here in Amsterdam were a bit worried as well because at the time he didn't have a lot of experience even in the charity VC big club experience at least

and you know a lot of Ike's fans are used to big names coming in as managers or at least people who are known at the club, you know. But in this case he was an outsider basically, not really from the Iox history or Ix Academy or anything.

So a lot of people were worried a little bit in the beginning, you know he quickly proved to be a really good

manager and a lot of people were convinced after in his second year at least and he did a really

good job obviously at IOC.

So it kind of feels like a similar situation right now.

My first thoughts when we found out he was joining Manchester United was, okay, that's a huge step up for him.

That's definitely a next phase in his career and it almost feels like, you know, it worries you a little bit. I mean, it's a huge, huge job obviously.

And some very experienced managers in recent years, Bachau, didn't really live up to expectations pretty quickly.
