I just think it's the more exciting appointment of the 2 on offer. I'm not totally dismissing Rowett, it's just I get annoyed with this attitude that some fans have that are clearly with the dark ages. I coach football teams at varying levels and the game on a whole is stuffed from top to bottom with Bad coaching techniques etc. Which is why on a whole the majority of English Mangers are rubbish in reality and why European managers tend to be more succesfull as there game all the way from grass roots is better coached which in turn produces better coaches.

Who do you coach?
Ive just stepped back after three years

Rubbish.

There's some brilliant English coaches in this country.

I also did my coaching badges last Summer.
 
I wasn't his greatest fan by any stretch, but you wouldn't treat a dog the way the club has treated him in the last six months. ****s them.

Though he could have walked when Bruce did. It was obvious with how long it took to appoint him that he was the far down the list and was a last resort choice.

There is some brilliant coaches in this country I agree, but unfortunately as seen at the very top level we are not producing good enough players compared to other countries and that lies with our vastly dark age approach to coaching players. I never said all I just said in comparison to other countries, you only have to look at the talent they are producing compared to us.
That is something the FA acknowledges but unfortunately like I say, this is the first season I have coached a team at under 7 level (always been older) and from what I've seen of some of the other coaches, it isn't getting better.

The FA are only a third of the way into a new 10 year plan for coaching.
 
I've coached at various teams from semi pro down but always said once my lad was old enough to play I would coach his team so am at Cottingham Rangers under 7's at moment. Very rewarding but also very frustrating.

Yeah it can be very rewarding, my daughter started at 6 i ended up creating a club in the end still help run them but taken a back seat so to speak
 
So this silva fella
Comes with a pretty impressive cv regardless of what people think of the quality of leagues hes coached in
Young at 39, apparntly plays attractive football, sounds like hes highly thought of within football circles

The thing i do like is the news of ternants departure, ive been angling on here about our scouting setup needing a revamp hopefully this is it. Lots of online databases that teams use for player scouting, teams like sevilla make a killing from using them effectivley. Hopefully this guy can implement something as fruitful, time to get with the times in this department.

I kimda liked the thought of rowett, but the more i think about this appointment the more i think why not the guy will bring a whole new bunch if ideas and methods hopefully

He might bring some new ideas but we need some new bodies.
He might not have the right connections to get PL standard bodies in in the next 3 weeks.

He'll have the right connections alright - it's persuading them to come to the north of England in January to fight a relegation battle that'll be the hardest part
 
what you think about silva?

Great signing. He puts the teams playing well and as a great relationship with the players. They go to war for him. He's the best young coach in Portugal and already managed teams like my Sporting Clube de Portugal and Olympiakos. Saying this doesn't mean we don't need more players because we do.

Its a year and a half contract but if we go down Marco can opt out.
 
You're the one trying to be a smart arse, he played as a striker in L2 and is either a striker or attacking mid. He was listed as a striker we should have gone for last season because of his L2 form as a striker.

Ibra is doing better than I expected and I've owned up to that on numerous occasions, even when people made threads for no other reason than to take pot shots at me. I've been happy to own up to it, but others seem less able to admit when they're wrong.

Shut the **** up with the whining, you whinging Aussie tart ...... me, me, me, me, me ...... and they reckon Poms whinge <doh>
