If it’s Maric I wouldn’t be so sure that Dodds leaves. Maric has worked with Bellingham so might get a good reference for him. Maric might meet with Dodds and want to keep him. What’s important as that Dodds (or Proctor) aren’t FORCED on him. It needs to be Maric’s decision. And personally if I was Dodds I would want a fresh start somewhere else anyway. Hard being a caretaker and going back to just a coach with the same group of players
DOF is a specialist role imo so id like us to go for someone who has done that role before or someone whose been heavily involved in player recruitment
Good points mate, wouldn’t be disappointed with him by any means but doesn’t get me excited at the moment (don’t know much about him though)
I tried to too look for his record before I posted but couldn’t find it. Obvious difference is Rohl has had success as a head coach in this league. Happy for us to look outside the box though
How do you know proctor and Dodds aren't good coaches? Nobody was complaining about proctor n Dodds when we got into the play offs under TM
I didn't know much about him at all until I started reading up on him. He's worked for some of the very best players, coaches and teams. Also has glowing references from them all. Wants to play decent aggressive football too. Could all be worthless if it ends up being bollocks and he's not our man
Haha I saw something online when will still left Reims and it was some Sunderland supporter saying how he had wasted the last week researching some young Austrian coach for nothing haha. What this club does to you
I've spent a good few hours listening to him speak in interviews and on podcasts mind! Sad as **** I know, but I'm happy after I've educated myself on him.
from watching his last presser( he should have walked there and then imo) the way he conducted himself yesterday and in his after match interviews, he's done here.
Don’t think they would’ve had the input then as they’ve had the last 13 games. TM had his mate as 1st team coach so would’ve thought they’d just had suggestions and not decision makings
