Laurence Bloom - Strength and Conditioning coach

Apologies if this has already been flagged up.

It seems we have hired this guy from Southend, much to their disappointment. Looks like we are really going for it - gets more exciting every day !

Seems he was highly regarded there, hence this quote..........

Southend have been left with a vacancy after the exit of their strength and conditioning coach Laurence Bloom to Charlton.The highly-rated 29-year-old will be leaving Roots Hall to take up a similar position at the League One club.Bloom was responsible for planning the players' pre-season programmes and he played a vital role in keeping the previously injury-prone Lee Barnard and Barry Corr fit for Blues.Southend's player-coach Graham Coughlan said: "Speaking on behalf of the whole group we are really going to miss him," said Coughlan."He did some unbelievable work for the football club and will be a big, big miss for us."He was a joy and pleasure to work with and whoever comes in to replace him has some very big shoes to fill."
Apologies again if already mentioned.

Looks like another shrewd signing.

Was talking to a couple of Shrimpers today at work.  It seems he is highly rated.

Is he related to Leopold?

Hope not or his fitness reports are going very tedious to read

Too old. Will take time to gel also, let's hope he doesn't become the scapegoat...
