Couldn't find a link must just be in the papers. Here is his wiki, Currently a professional development coach at Nottingham Forest http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pemberton_(footballer)
People in any industry will choose to employ those they may have worked with before, or have known of in a similar position and someone you are able too trust to work with you and not be forever trying to knock you out of your position. Some may call it a form of nepotism but it's a safer way of recruitment than just advertising the job and getting loads of applications from those you've never heard of and/or don't want to work with anyway. If SO'D's new assistant comes from Forest or Timbuktu, what does it matter so long as he works well for Bristol City.
If we are getting everyone from Forest does that mean we keep paying them fees? that was my point didn't we have to pay compensation to get our previous assistant manager or did he leave before signing for us?
You wishhnhh i would love sharp here you can keep your baldocks and davies sharp is a different league.
It's been confirmed and he looks a bit like millen http://www.thisisbristol.co.uk/Bris...tory-18970111-detail/story.html#axzz2T9er2SrY http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/20130513-johnpemberton-818447.aspx
I can vaguely remember him, wasn't he a bit of a hard tackling midfielder or am I getting him mixed up with someone else?
Played most of his football at Palace, Sheff U and Leeds. Coaching mainly with youth development at Sheff U and Forest. see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Pemberton_(footballer)
Has anyone else noted that the blurb on the Post looks very much like what is written already in Wiki? wonder where they get their info from?
O'Kelly goes back to Walsall - http://www.saddlers.co.uk/news/article/okelly-returns-may-2013-818924.aspx
I remember him from Leeds and Wales as a decent hard working player. Hopefully he is the right man for the job as think the assistant manager can player more of a key role at a club than the actual manager as usually the assistant who supports the manager with the first team but is also responsible for making sure all the other parts of teh club are working which is probably why he has been brought in because of his experience with working with the youth system as guess City will hope that he will be able to help bring players through the system
