Not a trick question, just interested

Every time a new player, manager, recruiting guy etc arrives they all say that they, "have signed up to the project", this has gone on for years......anyone genuinely know what this "project" entails?
 
It only becomes a “project” once the “group” has bought into it. It’s a bit like crowdfunding for a bloke to get his weekly diet of white lightning and skunk paid for

Just because you said it’s not a trick question…

The ‘project’ is the cause, the direction the club/team/manager wants to go in. The style of play. The ethos. What the club/team stands for etc.

In all reality they have signed up because the money was right.

That'll be charlatan, cheat, conman, serial waster of money bullshitter and our worst manager ever Gary Monk, and our greatest captain, Boro legend, thoroughly decent bloke and most successful England manager Gareth Southgate?
Nice comparison pal.🙄

Excuse me on behalf of Mr Monk, you do realise you have missed an r out of his first name? We all know how that went for Greg Wallace!

Isn’t the project the moneyball transfer model that the boys in the group reference on their collective CV?😉

Agree with everything here BUT WHATS DIFFERENT having the style of play and Micheal Carrick and his growing reputation is that;
If a player has 2, 3 or 4 choices of a club to join who want him to sign for them and boro is one of them then if the money matches the others broadly speaking, we have a real chance of signing players now 👍

I would hazard a guess out first ‘project’ players - who didn’t meet the requirements would have been the likes of Ricardinho and Maranelli

That Ricardinho one is still so weird to me. Not a single first team appearance, on the bench once, went to the World Cup with Brazil two years later. Really odd.

Ricardinho was an established footballer in his mid to late 20’s, I don’t think he was a project. He was more of a gamble who it was felt clearly didn’t have what it took to play in the Premier League.

Every club will have a different project. Ours is pretty clear to everyone, to bring in younger players, develop them and sell them on for a profit whilst remaining competitive on the pitch. It seems this has been an aim of ours for a lot of years but our appointments haven’t been as invested in it as they may have made out (Warnock, Wilder).

I feel like the personnel throughout the club are the first group who are fully on board with it. No complaints, no excuses, they just get on with the job they signed up to.
