New Head Coach

We lost most of those games under Mowbray because we didn't have a striker who could find the net.

 

I second that!

 

Who is this guy Magnus says the deal is nearly
Done

 

Will still his brother plus 2 other coaches

 

Thank you so much

 

It will probably be the one after, by the time we get our manager

 

Yeah seen that
Andy burnham I wish

 

Good

 

I am led to believe Dodds has developed into a very good first team coach. Excellent ideas and good communicator. He did have what I would have loved as a role, head of individual player development. That is a class role to have in modern footy. Now if he wants to remain in the first team setup I would have no issues if he has a role under Still. I have said before it takes a lot of coaches to run a first team session. If Still and Dodds can find some common ground and see a way to work together it can only be good. If Still doesnt want him then he should of course go.

 

I see absolutely no reason Dodds (or Proctor) should be forced out. If Still wants to work with them they can absolutely stay. Its just important to me that its Still's choice who supports him with the first team and who doesn't.

 

Talk about not falling in love with loanees, people are falling in love with the coaching staff

 

That's not what I said, I never said keep them in charge of first team but they were perfectly fine coaches when we reached the playoffs. It's not there fault that they were put in charge of first team

 

Much more important than loanees...

 

One of the important points of the model that we have adopted is that we can change the head coach and still have continuity throughout the age groups right up to first team. This appointment may be a slight departure, so it may be beneficial to keep both Dodds and Procter in and around the Academy and occasionally the first team.
Just in case things don't work out.

 

Probably better players than some of them

 

True. But if it's for the greater good then I am all for it. No room for sentimental minds here.

 

Still may also want to keep them involved in the first team until Christmas for example to provide some continuity and handover

 

I'd rather still brought in who he wanted to tbh personally

 

I mostly agree. However, if the club were to say to Still "we have this/these coach/es who have very good reputations, who have worked with the first team and know the club inside out. We think they are an asset and we'd like them to remain involved for the sake of continuity" and he turned them down flat, I think that would indicate a lack of willingness to work with the club (and possible an element of arrogance and/or cowardice).

I keep seeing people suggesting that appointing Still means that the club are being more 'flexible'. Aside from the fact that I don't believe that the club are as rigid as people have made out, I think it would be unhealthy for Still to completely dictate how things are run.

 

I personally think they aren't as good as people are saying they are and we need their influence gone tactics wise. The squad could really do with a clean slate and something new
