Dahan was very involved at Standard under RD. Agent, scout, advisor, third party ownership. It stunk. He removed himself from SL once RD became under intense pressure. But he is/was the agent for Thuram, Koc, Ben Haim and almost completely controlled SL's buying and selling strategy. The Belgium Juplier League was awash with young Israeli's at one point such was DD's influence.
DD sought to involve himself in Charlton, especially when Luzon rocked up. If you can find it he was retweeting a host of CAFC stuff 18-24 months ago. I think Meire may have pushed him away.
He has remained in the background but unless Danny has found a new larger influence on RD, Dahan and RD are very close and maybe up until recently RD relied on DD on a host of footballing confidences.
DD and Roderick Duchatelet is another close connection.
While that may be the case, if Duhan had a strong influence on Roland, we would have seen more movement of his players at our Club / him getting am 'in' into the British market imo
It may be that Dahan's business model isn't just about a player "stable". Israeli football seems like a cesspit of improper personal relationships
e.g. I learnt that Luzon's family is hugely influential in Israeli football. And it may help that his uncle is a UEFA bigwig. Remember there is a second Tal Ben Haim, a winger? His registration is, I understand, partly owned by the Luzon family. They own a whole club, called Maccabi Petakh Tikva. You can imagine that Dudu has his fingers in all that too. And RD studied all that shit admiringly and thought "yeah, I can play games like that".
But re your post above, who do you think is RD's closest adviser?
I have the name, but I want to do a bit more research first
Is this your hook to keep traffic up over the off season ? Release a letter from his name every week ? I like your style !
