I would be interested to know what people think Riochs job was? What's does being an Academy manager mean?
thanks for all the hard work Gregor and Mark but lets see how new guy does before we write it off as a terrible move.
perhaps new guy will teach the kids better technical skills at a younger age?
lets just hope it isnt a sign of academy in trouble.
Wasn't "the bomb squad" his 1st mistake by popular consensus ?
I am guessing Pressely wants his ethos and style of play drilled into the players at every level.
Strange thing to do half way into a season. Surely the Summer is the time.
Should the focus not be on getting back to the Higgs then this.
Is what Pressley does with our first team the best way to develop young footballers or is it just a way of playing once your all round game has developed? I don't know.
How successful has our academy been
Level 2 status.
One player gone to the Prem where it seems he is not good enough yet.
The rest thrust into our first team too early and for too many games in the championship, due to our owners decisions.
Now they seem comfortable in Division 3
Is that what we should expect from a category 2 academy I genuinely don't know.
All I know us that the blue print suggests invest in the academy bring a player through sell him on.
Hence who runs the academy is probably the second most important staffing decision to make. They have realised this then made a change. Not sure what that says about the previous chaps
I dunno. I still think we're missing the option of Edge and McSheffrey, but if the aim was to change the team spirit you can't really argue.
Even if the new guy is better, I think this is a shit way to treat someone who has been consistently a bright point in our club.

That is IF he has been pushed though surely?
Yes very good point.
We have not heard from them yet.
Why change a winning format?
Development director Steve Waggott said Rioch’s assistant, Richard Stevens, will step into the role of Academy manager
What's this Murray chap doing then?
Yh just read the story on the CCFC website and Waggott says he tried to keep him, but it was a personal decision to go on to a new challenge. Doesn't say anything about where he is going.
I blame SISU.
sounds like hes left rather than pushed if we are promoting assistant?
Just wonder if this Story that came out of Newcastle and Bigi played any role in this??
Just thinking outside the box,that article a couple of weeks back re; Bigi coming on loan,wondering if Rioch may have been the conduit.Whats all that about?
