But not sure we can afford to have Young 'learning on the job'. It's a big ask as far as I can see... trying to make up for the loss of experience left by Beale's departure. Not saying it cannot be done, but I would have thought prior experience would be a requisite. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not saying it cannot be done, but I would have thought prior experience would be a requisite. Fair point. Experience in football (and of working under several managers/coaches) VS experience of actual coaching, could be an interesting debate. As long as we don't end up with three assistants to compensate, bringing back the days of Dean Smith's 10 minute mothers meetings every time we wanted to make a change Edited June 1, 2022 by Tom13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd assume either GMac will step up or there is already an incoming replacement lined up. We have Danks who was kept on. Maybe he's the continuity. We had too many staff tbh as we kept Danks and McPhee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 The manager and his assistant should be on the same page as far as strategy is concerned. You can probably add the recruitment team to that too. Tactics however are more fluid and can change or be tweaked beteeen games or during games. It’s probably helpful or perhaps very important that they share a similar philosophy. It’s no good if they’re not pulling in the same direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I just have a memory of him saying in January Coutinho wasn't going to Villa and he signed a few days later. There is being wrong about players you think will join a club bit ya look a clearing in the woods saying X won't be joining a few days before he does. I can't remember if I'm right or wrong he said that about Coutinho. Just remember him being very wrong about something in January Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get some new ideas in with a new head coach it'll help. Gerrard has had the same team since he took over at Rangers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveAV1 Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 53 minutes ago, HalfTimePost said: Coaches and assistant managers are different things, particularly if we're believing what Gerrard has said about Beale being the brains of the operation then he'll need replacing in some way. In theory having coaches for Possession, Set Pieces, Attack and Defence should mean there's less upheaval when the assistant manager moves on, but probably can't ignore the role entirely. Imo, we'll be a bit of a trend setter with the Set Piece role, more and more coaches will become the norm to get the absolute best out of the team. A bit like the NFL - although not to that extent - they have Coaches for everything, one for each position or play style usually. Take New Orleans, they have: 10 Offensive coaches reporting into an Offensive Coordinator 6 Defensive coaches reporting into 2 Co-Coordinators. 4 coaches in Strength and Conditioning 2 in Special Teams All reporting into 1 Head Coach. We'll begin to see something similar for football over the years. Nowhere near as many, but we'll see more and more roles and analysts become the norm. No wonder it’s a one hour game that takes three hours to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bibs are all about movement whereas cones tend to focus on holding positions. Two very different skills requiring specialist coaching.
