Sean Michael O'Driscoll (born 1 July 1957) is a football manager currently in charge of the England U19 team and a former player. He has previously managed Bournemouth, Doncaster Rovers, Crawley Town, Nottingham Forest and Bristol City F.C. He was known by the nickname "Noisy" in his playing days at Fulham.[1][2] He represented the Republic of Ireland as a player. This apparently is our new assistant manager. Ffs Think small time become small time
Standards at this club have slipped drastically since we sacked Rafa - we've appointed nothing but small time managers bar Kenny and have now adopted a small time mentality. He had the likes of Hyypia, Mascherano and Alonso, and fans are trying to tell me that Skrtel, Lucas and Henderson are good enough to warrant a place in the starting line up. Same fans trying to justify spending £140k a week and £5m on Milner, and the signings of Bogdan and Ings.
lol, I've actually has some dealings with Sean, he's a top class coach and a really nice bloke to boot.
Anyone or anything is an upgrade on Postman Pascoe. Mentioned in another thread, trying to look at positives now and at least he has some experience of coaching unlike Pascoe. Also Lijnders is very highly rated across Europe.
He's a brulliant coach, a brulliant man and a brulliant technician who is technically very technical in perfecting technique. His Doncaster team played the carbonara style of football that was first made famous by the North Korean team Kum Kim who were relegated in three successive seasons.
After conceding 203 goals in last 128 matches, I think this is the man who can finally improve our defence. #Positive #FanBoyIsBack
Would have preferred Brian O'Driscoll. 'So I'm thinking of playing Emre at right back ag-' ****ING SPEAR TACKLE
Qualifications mean **** all. I see it everyday on sites, an engineer or project manager etc. Will want something done that in theory can be done but in practicality can't because every site is different. So his piece of paper isn't worth a **** tbh. What has he actually done in practice? Won a 3rd division play-off wowsers
I think this is such a risky signing - a 57 year old with no top level experience and his first job as a number 2 ...
actually he's won that and the jonhston paint trophy and promotion to championship with doncaster you lot are writing him off for a bad time at forest who had no money and bristorl city who were all ready 24th in championship when he took over. Its not exactly big time no but.... I will still say hang the **** on. someone who bothers to get the coaching qualifications will at the very least have exposure to the best methods. Colin pascoe had **** all. What you are saying about is qualifications = incompetance when actually you should be saying. 1. qualifications without experience = lack of ability I'd then say striaght back to you i've personally seen many a lad with not qualifications and lots of expereicne **** up cos they are all " it can't be done heads" it works both ways.
I'm not writing him off for forest and bristol city I'm writing him off because he has no experience of the pressure of a big club. If he was so experienced and will be a success why didn't Mourinho, Wenger, Fergie or any other manager who has managed in the premier league give him his break ? Phil Neville has taken Sevilla's assistant job and I'm not even joking when I say I'd be happier with him as assistant (I wouldn't be pleased with a former bitter,manc but I'd still be happier than now) At least Neville has played at the highest level has expierence of huge huge games. Then became an assistant in the premier league at the bs and followed that up at the so called biggest club in the world.
He's Irish ....... oh and this - Rodgers on O’Driscoll (October 2013):“We need to stop blaming the players. The players get the blame in this country. No, it is the coaching. The problem is that the guys who are ’that type’ of coach you never hear of them really. “Look at Sean O’Driscoll. He is one of the best coaches I have ever come across. He is working at Bristol City. He has never had a chance in the top flight. His teams were expressive, had movement, they were technical, but he will probably never get a chance at a higher level.” http://www.thisisanfield.com/2015/06/sean-odriscoll-the-lowdown-on-liverpools-new-assistant-manager/
