sidcow Posted August 7, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) It will be funny if all the assistants O'Kelly, Shakespeare and Terry have a regular meeting.

So it can work the other way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keener window-cleaner Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I don't want to exagerate but I think this could be one of the most shrew appointments we have made in a long time. As I understood Ranieri was a bit of a clown and it was Shakespeare who pulled the strings when they won the league, same with Pearson, got the impression that Shakespeare was the brain and Pearson the one barking out orders. CS didn't do very well as no 1, but he seems to be great as an assistant. I also think it says very much about Dean Smith, he could have seen CS (and Terry) as too big a name, someone who could make him lose some of his authority, but that doesn't matter to him, he takes the decision that is best for the club. We needed more PL experience, we got the best I could ever think of. Very very happy with this appointment! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave-R Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 (edited) Bit of a good read I think on the bloke, Craig seems very exciting tactically astute. Seems like Craig has been around the block and done a fair bit looking forward to see how it pays off for us on the field. "Even when he moved from assistant to the main man, he still did the pre-game warm-ups, unlike most bosses, who finalise their tactics in the changing room or watch from a distance. you see I like that alot and it tells you hes the kind of man who loves to be involved with the physical side as much as the mental and technical duties of his job. I think good things will come from his work at Villa. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/craig-shakespeare-leicester-city-legacy-18736486 Edited August 8, 2020 by Dave-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
