I think it's time for a bit of clarification. It is perfectly reasonable to assume Les Ferdinand is our striker coach, but the reality is he has rarely worked with the first team. When he accepted Harry's invitation to join the coaching staff, he did so on a part time basis and worked with the youths with only the occasional work on the training ground with the first teamers. At that time, striker coaching was done pretty much 100% by Clive Allen and Joe Jordan. Ferdinand was always available to give the strikers advice, and I am sure some went to him for that, but his work on the training ground was only with he kids.
When AVB arrived, Ferdinand never worked with the first team. Believe me, this is not a joke, but the work with the strikers was given to Steffen Freund. Now Les is part of the first team coaching staff, he obviously has got more involved yet It is Freund who has continued to oversee shooting skills etc in training.
