Appointed assistant manager.

Interesting, surely it's time for Faz to retire?

Why? He is proven to be an excellent assistant manager and his knowledge and connections in the game is invaluable to a club our size.

To Pep?

What is his role now then?

 

[RATC]

First team coach no? Faz still assistant i believe.

This was always planned, wasn’t it? KR said some time ago that he was going to shake up the coaching team. Happy to have Sean Derry on board. I think he seems like a sound appointment.

As for DF, I don’t think we’ll see him depart just yet. I kind of hope he goes back into the scouting side to bring us some young players again as that seems to be an area he excels in.

 

[The Hawk]

That’s a significant boost for a club of our size. Derry should be a no 1 somewhere and he was doing okay at Cambridge.

The same Pep that was that arrogant he fell out with his back room because it was his way or no way? Any coach no matter how good would struggle to work with that.

Did he bring those two Manchester C lads here?

 

[Didcotox]

A sound appointment imo.

 

[Gary Baldi]

But why haven't we signed any players?

A good appointment who will bring a different point of view to the coaching team. Win, win for all

Interesting, surely it's time for Faz to retire?

Why? And why don't you see that strengthening the management is a good thing?

 

[holdsteady]

A good appointment, think Faz will do a year of cone man duties like Mickey Lewis did in Appleton’s first year then retire, he has definitely moved down the pecking order with this one.

I agree. Shaun Derry is vastly experienced, and by no means a fool, he could easily pick up a manager's role at league 2 (or maybe higher).

I guess he has been convinced that we have a competitive budget and a financially sound club that is going places.

 

[yellowbow]

All sounds very promising. Interesting that Derry is saying pretty much exactly the same things as Appleton did when he left us for Leicester.

Both Robinson and Derry have said they are pleased to be able to work with Faz. ifollow

Nice to see some decent tats back in the management team

 

[makv]

Plus some very dapper dressing

 

[cotswoldu]

More coaches than Tappins and less direction, where are we actually going with this presumably planned setup?
