    …of mispronunciation of our players and coaches names - and it is a long fine history, I do think it nicer to know how to say somebody’s name.

    So that said, can I ask what the correct pronunciation of Asbaghi is?

    Az - bag - ee?

    Az - bhaji?

    Az - badge - ee?

    Any others?

    Serious question btw. Only seen the name written, not heard it said by anyone.

    I think it’s likely to be the first of what I’ve written, out of interest.

    I've been reading it as Poi-yah Ash-bah-gy


    No idea if thats anywhere near right.


    edit: just seen a Swedish youtube video. Sounds like I guessed it right pretty much! Pretty sure they're talking backwards though...

    I believe Mr Conway has already intimated how to pronounce the new chap's name:

    Po-tential Prof-it.
