Danishlad Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 How about Luc Nilis? Currently coaching in Europe, wonderfully cultured striker and obviously an ex-villa man! Could certainly teach our attack a few things. From Belgium too, interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRO Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 coaches have a big influence....but at the end of the day it has to be in you.....and the clever managers pick up on this, they know which " hearts" to bring in. We have had a few " young & hungry" ones join us over the years....but they WAS the real deal, not just a labelled version.....or synthetic attempt to replicate the past.

John Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 You have to wonder what the delay is. Things on the pitch arent going well and its been nearly a month since the previous assistant left. Are candidates being put off by the uncertain future of the owner or is the club blocking any appointment (doubtful) Clearly Lambert needs some help. But could it be that the club have told him it is either another player or another assistant manager but not both because money is too tight to mention at B6?

There is no multi £million transfer fee involved in hiring an assistant manager and the salary, in the grand scheme of things, would be negligible.

dn1982 Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I can't see him being allowed one just yet. Even though he seems bullet proof he is on thin ice. We have 3 league games where not much is expected but also have a flying Bournemouth. I think losing that will finally kill off any fan support and then we hit games we have to get points from employing a No2 now would be silly as by the end of Feb he could be gone!!

Condimentalist Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Would be good to bring in one of Lambert's European contacts. This could be quite a significant appointment if he gets it right, as clearly something needs to change on the training ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Just read both of Keane's books...no wonder he had a bust up with some of the players. He **** hates people who don't put any effort in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 (edited) I remember watching a United game and Keane was in the stands, when the video camera picked him out he was all slacked faced but when he noticed he was being filmed he suddenly straightened up his face started staring really intently and chewing his gum with a purpose.

Its the only thing giving me hope Lambert might not see out the season. Likewise. Surely if Lambert's job was completely safe he'd want to bring in an assistant ASAP to try and help turn things around? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Its beggars belief that a journeyman goalkeeping coach (nothing against andy marshall) is currently sitting in as assistant at our club. its just barmy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
