That's a stupid comment even by your high standards. If we follow your ethos, a footballer knows everything about his game, so why don't we do away with coaches, physios, and even let them wash their own kits. Let me turn this on its head. Why do you think every other chairman in the top two flights, and in smaller clubs beyond, do think it's prudent to have a full time fitness coach?
And equally, don't you understand that we need players and ballroom staff. It shouldn't be an either/or when the cupboards are as bare as ours. We didn't even make up a full bench against Southampton, remember?
If he has no say what budget for the team is then it really is a joke but I feel if he really wanted a fitness coach then he could.
I might email/tweet eakin and see if they can pose the question. Be interesting to see what his reply is eh.
Not trying to score points or be funny here, but this is an interesting article relating to Northampton Town;

It's not about now Wyken, it's about what we have needed all season. We lost out fitness coach last summer. We are losing goals late in games. The debate is why do we concede late goals. The answer seems to be comparative fitness. Hence the question being raised as to whether the comparative lack of fitness may be linked to a lack of a fitness coach; and therefore who is more to blame. Thorn or SISU.
I make a case for the latter. Hence the debate.
And sorry, I think you are profoundly wrong. Thorn cannot spend a penny in this environment. Listen to him in interviews. He has no say whatsoever in where budgets are allocated
Replace Bellamy with Lee Hughes.
The bench last week for the derby game was not that bad to be fair.Maybe HH can offer this TIMS. There is another issue which compounds this which I eluded to in another thread; that being squad strength and therefore options on the bench. Not only are we potentially tiring earlier in games than some of our peers, but when the time is right to make a change to freshen things or chase a game, our options are more limited. Hence the disadvantage is exasipated as it were....
You're right of course, as soon as I had posted I remembered that we had picked up the WBA supporting Hughes by then. Never appeared to want to play for us. and nor did Bellend.
The point I was trying to make though was the difference in that squad and this. Maybe I should have rephrased the question. What would Strachan, Nillson, Dowie, Coleman, McAllister, Boothroyd, Black, Reid have made of this squad?
