With various posts appearing about Ward going/staying/moving upstairs I wonder
who the real No.2 is now.
Of course Darrell Clarke is nominally Assistant Manager, and Marcus Stewart is
Development Squad coach.
The reason I ask is..............................
Yesterday both Clarke and Stewart were in the dugout. It seemed to me, looking
across from the other side, that Ward spent far more time consulting/talking with
Stewart. There was one time when a substitution might have been made when they
were in a long discussion on the edge of the 'team area'
The other day I went to watch City U21s play QPR U21s. Again, it was Ward and
Stewart who sat together in the Williams Stand watching the game.
It might all be academic. All three may work as a team, each chipping in with their views
and expertise. But, as I mentioned at the beginning, if Ward moves upwards/sideways
or out; and the board continue with their stated aim of developing a Liverpool style
management succession, who in the boot room is next in line?
