Deventer Devils hire GM
Sources associated with the Deventer Devils confirmed to me today that Vennegoor has today appointed a GM. This is just in time for the draft starting tomorrow. Although the nove has not been officially announced by the Devils, I have learned that prepatory talks had already started before Vennegoor even founded the club and that the new GM has already reviewed the players in the draft and that an initial draft board has been shared with Vennegoor.
The new GM is Gerad Jones. An unknown quantity in Europe, Jerad has earned his stripes at the collegiate level in the US. Although the 53 year old has not worked for any of the PAC12 schools, the appointment is somewhat of a coup for Vennegoor as he is getting a very experienced candidate who is willing to work for a completely new franchise. The details of the contract are not known but the expectation is that Jerad is getting a lot of power to shape the squad to his philosophy. This will certainly allay fears people had over the tendency of Vennegoor to micromanage the businesses he owns and it seems he has done the wise thing of getting an experienced football person in the organisation.
One thing is certain: all eyes will be on Jerad tomorrow as he gets a major chance to s e l e c t the foundational players for the Deventer Devils.

BREAKING NEWS: Confusion over the Devils' first round pick, QB Albert Jacobs. Still figuring out what exactly happened but it seems Vennegoor secretly changed first round pick behind back of new GM Jerad Jones who apparently instantly resigned. Will try to get to bottom of this and will have article up tomorrow... #DeventerDevils #DraftS41
