Clive Allen is still at the club too right?

Maybe we should get Klinsmann back to wash the training kit

Clive Allen left the club at the same time as Harry, Bond and Jordan. They were still under contract, whereas Clive's had expired.

It isn't actually obviously true that someone who can do something well is good at coaching others to do it. It may be that Ferdinand's coaching skills are motivational rather than technical. But the whole thing is bizarre to say the least.

I hear what you say, but even if Les doesn't lead the session, his presence on the park, and simply being there to give pointers, would surely be of some benefit?

Hoddle said he'd like to return to Spurs, so why not get him back in?

Not as manager, though. No, that would be too obvious. Let's get him in to push the groundsman's wheelbarrow.
 
Do other clubs have ridiculousness like this? Obviously West Ham do with their 3 crazy owners/execs/whatever-the-hell-they-are but surely nobody else coaches their forwards using someone who was less than clueless about actually scoring goals.
 
How hard can coaching a striker be? Get the ball between the posts and under the bar and try to avoid the twat standing between the sticks.
 
I can remember Spurs had a "shooting box" beneath the East Stand where forwards would smack the ball ages.
Didn't we all,as kids,spend hours kicking a tennis ball against a wall? No tv or computers for us in those days.
We also used to get excited when we played a game and the pitch had NETS!

So I would suggest someone giving our players a ball each and a brick wall and use it for at least an hours shooting practice.
If that doesn't work,give 'em a walking stick and tell 'em "your in the wrong game"!
