Current Staff Change of role for Faz

[beyondthefourth]

Ian Wright with his media work might not be a option, but why not Phil Neville? Very good coach with lots of good links. Has said he wants to get back into men’s football & if I recall, someone mentioned on here before that IF Karl was to move on then the club would like someone who can step up to the managers job in house!? Again I’m just bringing this up for debating purposes, that’s all.

I feel like Neville would have a bigger 'in' with Salford City, if he just wanted to coach men's football for the experience. And Karl has stated if he was to groom a successor to himself, it'd be Mous.

We can all name out of work/available coaches with name brands and pedigrees, but I don't think many of them will be coming to us on permanent deals for League One wages, just for the opportunity to get coaching experience. We're more likely to get a trusted coach in from the lower leagues than anything else.

with Taylor signing permanently, maybe Tappins will be the new coach ?

 

[Scotchegg]

So would I, just saying that if this potential news about Mous is the showing of intent then I think it’s poor, Mous would make a good coach

A statement of intent is not only subjective, but could apply to anyone.

However, Faz had a hands on approach to training and it would be difficult for Mous to do that whilst still playing. This is likely to be his last full season as a player and it will be important that he's able to focus fully on his own game, even more do if we don't replace Dickie. That's not to say that Mous wouldn't be a fantastic coach/manager but that the may be an opportunity to add another layer to what is already a pretty strong coaching structure.

Whoever the new assistant is, they were at the training ground today! Sounds like the club are managing new stories bit by bit so I guess we'll know in the next day or two.

And apparently someone we nearly brought in as a coach last summer? I seem to remember talk of somebody back then but cant remember who was discussed?

Matthew Upson?

Matthew Upson?

Could be. Going to be an interesting week. New coach announce, possibly two new loans brought in, maybe the fixtures released and new kit?

 

[Whingit]

Whitehead? Kluivert? Clotet?

Is Lampard now ready to take the step up to a big job at a real club?

This thread is getting embarrassing..
By the way, anyone know what Brian Wilsterman is up to these days?

WWWWWIIIIILLLLLLLLLSSSSSS.

 

[Scotchegg]

Francis Jeffers? Mates with Robbo apparently, coaching with Everton Academy but looking at getting into club management. We've had good links with Everton in the past and will fit the model of player development.

That was the one I was trying to think of! I wouldve thought whoever it is will be officially announced today. If he‘s at the ground with everyone, there’s no way they'll keep it a secret for long.

Maybe tomorrow when everyone is back together. But with a couple of loans likely to go through, and couple of younger players already signed according to KR, the preseason to be formally announced and maybe the sponsors and new kit coming out, then I would guess that the news will feed to the media bit by bit.

This fella played 650 league games, assisted one of the best managers in the past 20 years (Sam Allardyce) and has managed decent sized clubs
in the past fifteen years i.e Hull and Derby. A certain association may taint him though.

And Brown lives in Oxfordshire (West Oxon to be precise ! )

Not me Mooro - no permatan on me.

Get giant size sun bed installed and he will appear....

Surely it's Martin Keown , he has been linked with a coaching role almost as many times as Sir Les' s chopper has been seen on way to Kassam !!

I'd expect it to be Craig Short.

Hmmm. Wonder where you heard that?

Had heard from someone who worked with him at Notts County that he enjoyed his brief spell with us around the play-offs and we were looking at options for him to stay in some kind of role. With the Faz announcement, I've put 2 and 2 together. I'll wait to see if my maths is right.

He's fairly local I believe, or his family is. I know he turned up for an impromptu 5-aside kick around with a mate a few months back!

We shall see. Just strange how I mentioned it on twitter and then minutes later, it’s here!

Why didn't you mention it on here too?

With respect, I don't have a clue who you are, so wouldn't know how to find you on Twitter unless you hashtagged it #oufc

That is Chris Short's brother.

 

[beyondthefourth]

That is Chris Short's brother.

However, not the brother of SNL alumnus Martin Short. Interesting Fact.

 

[Scotchegg]

I read a story from, I think, Neil Warnock, about Craig Short when he started playing. He had a good engine and attitude but was poor on the ball. So he would go to the parks with Chris and practice, and practice, and practice until he developed a game that took him to Everton and Blackburn.

Last I heard, he was coaching at Derby academy, so will have good connections and experience of developing young players.

There would certainly be worse people to bring in to the club.
