Or, y'know, reading the quotes directly from Pennock and not immediately assuming this is somehow the Allams' fault.
Who's assuming that? It's progression of the chain; one steps up and someone takes tjheir place, and so on. Pethaps he thought what a **** thing itcwould be to hoy out his replacement, so he simply made the right noises and left - I doubt he receivef much more than his notice if they offered him an alternative. It could equally just be ambitin; we don't know, do we?
People seem keen to blame the club for pushing him into the first team. Unless people are blaming Phelan for that?
I think it was wrong to move him to the first team. Obviously he wanted that, but the question is whether that was for money or another reason. If he just preferred senior football there's nothing you can do about that. If it was money then we really should be making that youth role more attractive financially.
Oh, and watching the final episodes of Series 2 Gommora - totally excellent, if you haven't seen it then you have 24 episodes of subtitled genius to watch.
Kind of - just. Bombay Sapphire was my late Mum's favourite drink. She didn't drink often, but if she did - that was always her preferred choice. We've still got an unopened bottle I bought for her in Easter 2014. Sadly she never got to enjoy it.
Have a little drink (kill it with orange if you're not keen) every year on her birthday, at least 32 years of memory toasts right there.
We can now confirm that First Team Coach Tony Pennock has left the Club. Pennock had been working alongside the backroom staff under former Head Coach Mike Phelan but has now departed following the appointment of Marco Silva and a new back-room team. Although offered the opportunity to return to his original position as Academy Manager to continue the excellent work already undertaken with the Club’s young players, Pennock has chosen to move on and seek a fresh challenge. Pennock joined the Tigers in February 2014 as Academy Manager and was influential in the transformation of the Club’s youth set-up, with the step up to Category Two Academy status achieved under his leadership. The Club would like to thank Tony for his efforts and work over the last three years and wish him well for the future. Jon Beale will continue as Academy Manager.
