He might well be a good coach, as per Kidd, McClaren, etc. Just not the right skill set to be the head coach / manager. More often than not their weakness, is that they are a good coach or deputy, so when they got the top role, they fail to appoint a decent support structure or don't know how to use that support structure. Pity that as a club, we have a knack of recruiting these great coaches, bu then giving them the big job! Not only do we not develop youth players, we don't tend to develop coaches either? Who was the last person to come through the club and take a manager role either with us or elsewhere, apart from the self rated Carver? Roeder perhaps, but he'd already had several managerial roles elsewhere.
I was merely making the point that Carver is and was rated as a good coach. Interestingly McLaren had success as a manager elsewhere, that would indicate that he did have an idea how to organise and use a support structure. Maybe it's our sh!tbag of a club that lets these people down.
I think these old decade age managers and coaches are past their sell by dates. They all get found out. The football world has moved on and these twats have not. It’s not now a case of shouting, saying get it away, clear the lines, get stuck in kind of ****. You have to have an ounce of intellectual thinking. To manage the players on a personal level but also instruct them on a collective. The days of these proper **** stain has been fraudsters is numbered. **** them.
