Just read a cracking article on Luke Williams of Notts County and his commitment to short corners. Bit odd I know but I dont really understand the reason for corners going straight into the box so it interesting to me. Anyway, on the subject of Luke Williams would anyone consider him? His last 18 months at Notts County is very impressive and spent a few years as Russel Martins assistant (who I would have here in a heartbeat). A pal is a supporter of them and says their style of football is really really good. I dont think it will be long before someone takes a look in his direction, probably not us, but an example of talent in this country.

Yeah he was interviewed about it by Barney’s on bbc radio before one of our games, absolutely fascinating I thought

this is an honest question, not a dig, so hope it doesn’t come across as such. But you seem to think Swansea have made a good appointment with somebody who has never managed but think we are taking a risk if we employ either Still or Hellberg as they’re inexperienced managers. Is that just an English football experience thing, or are you just seeing them as different to us?

Sorry mate, wasnt trying to suggest Swansea were making a good appointment. Just that it is an interesting one to watch. I know folk who have been close to his work at Leicester and say he is exceptional. I wasnt trying to suggest we should be in for him, just that I think he might in time be a good coach. Same as I think about the lad at Notts County.

I dont know as much about Hellberg, or rather I dont know people who do, so cant judge. Doesnt mean he is worse, better or a bigger gamble. Both could be excellent, or both could flop.

One thing I do think is different between us and Swansea is expectation. It does seem our ownership are hell bent on the prem in the next 2/3 years. That expectation brings stresses and strains that I think a more experiencee head might handle better.

At the end of the day I am a 50 odd year old bloke, who does a bit of coaching. Maybe I just am jealous of these young lads, or maybe I value experience too much. Like I said I do trust the club at the minute, they are better equiped than me, so whoever it is I am behind them.

Came across an jnteresting podcast with David Sellini (Kim Hellbergs assistant) who has now replaced Kim as headcoach at Varnamo (hope we can get him to come with Kim) he talks about how they place and their approach to the game. Brilliant stuff.

I stand corrected. He hasn't got the Varnamo job. It was one of the other coaches. Looks like Kim and his assistant will be coming then!

I'm pretty confused by this Hellberg link.

I've read that he's highly rated but I can't really see any indication of why that's the case.

Looks like he has had one good year at a tiny Swedish team, which seems all well and good but not exactly mind blowing.

Sure there is much more to it than I can see, and I trust KS and KLD, but I'm by no means sold on this guy.
