Whilst I agree on the assistants, the order of the list is irrelevant

There’s that guy Andy mangan at Stockport who’s never played above league one… he was going to Real Madrid, unfortunately his visa failed

There were massive mitigating circumstances to those seasons though. First - wasps SISu Ricoh debacle, second ripped up training ground/new squad ultimately these next two games are massive

Dumpster actually has the highest coaching licence available

Interesting you say that - Ipswich put in the same structure before their promotion from league one. they’ve even gone down the young inexperienced coaching roles with UEFA pro licences. Performance directors and conditioning coaches. lee Grant, sone Aluko and rene gilmartin are young coach’s...

That’s the problem higher up the pyramid 2bh. The fight for each other work ethic sort of goes. it’s a more pampered world the higher we go. Your Goddens, Kelly’s Tom Davies, Concrete Rod were lower league journeymen but they’d fight and give you 110% players we have now are twice the player -...

Agreed. Mentioned this in another thread. but ultimately they aren’t bad players ability wise. If it’s a case of binning off the players or the manager and getting someone who can motivate and inspire them - guess which option is most cost effective

I mean I’d argue the manager is very much the issue there - and probably doesn’t have long left himself. Odd team lineups, strange subs…..

one thing I do agree with you, Fernando partridge and Clint van damme is that it’s more complicated than I make out. but ultimately at this stage the only real change you can make is the manager. Someone needs to be brought into galvanise these players. Hopefully Robins can get some points in...

Man Utd interestingly also operated in an older way and that’s credited for how they struggled. Mourinho advocated for a director of football. they’ve only just started separating their operations under their new owners. Ed Woodward was in charge of everything - now they have seperate business...

I’m aware they’re all interlinked - but ultimately when they go out on the pitch that’s on Robins. the players are talented players, we’ve seen this, they can compete with United, Spurs, Wolves etc on their day. the new signings - all have something there - Rudoni is decent, Dovin is a...

But her results aren’t going to occur 2/3 months in. You’re only going to see if she’s negatively affecting performance if multiple staff changes on her advice continue to be shit and she’s the common denominator. Personally I’ve always thought Kings plan would end up phasing Robins out. He’s...

Performance wise we’d been on the decline since before the change. After Leicester the only decent performance was Leeds. Wolves like Tottenham was a cup game which seemingly the players they can get themselves up for that’s close to 9 months of decline. We currently have one of the highest...

Ultimately it’s a results business. He’s not getting results, the players seem like they’re not bothered, he chops and changes his team. The subs are uninspiring. if they were unlucky I’d agree with you - but the above is signs of a manager losing his grip. to be honest - it’s really on the...

And I’ve said I don’t want him to go. It’s this fallacy that he appears to be the only one not at fault. But his remit is - picking the team, making motivating them and giving clear instructions. We seem directionless and the players seem unmotivated. The last two seasons we’ve started badly...

Becuase you’re taking the word performance out of context in sporting terms. Again - she’s not looking at why Thomas can’t pass, or Kitching decides to unexpectedly goes awol. It’s the same role she’d have fulfilled in the Olympic team, and working with the premier league. - psychology, sports...

Even Dovin can be excused, new league, new team - needs to get comfortable. You can judge that in a year unless we keep chopping and changing him

Because everyone wants someone to blame other than the manager without understanding the roles each person does. same with the coaching staff. Nobody actually knows what role they’re fulfilling

Yeah the psychological profile. 80% of the team was here before her too.

Managed 2 car crash football teams and motivated them to playing well above their level both times? I thought he was an average player 2bh so it isn’t sentimental. I’m not saying get him, but I wouldn’t be opposed to him
