Employ a proven first team coach, - everything else will fall into place

If only it was that simple. Sport is littered with coaches/managers who having been successful at a club move on and cannot repeat that success.

Cant remember last time, we appointed a successful Head Coach before.

maybe... because they had no experience.

I was merely commenting on this statement. "Employ a proven first team coach, - everything else will fall into place". If FC appointed a proven head coach it would improve the chances of success, not guarantee it as the quote suggests.

Er no I didn't. I said "now we are told". How is that an assertion of fact? I was merely commenting on what another poster had said.

The fact is that semantics should play no part in this.

Move on....

Re: Bradford Post Match : Tue Aug 19, 2014 12:26 pm  

we had a decent coach, some of the players stopped playing because he was being undermined by the encumbant and a couple of kn0bheads on the playing rosta.
Radford won't be able to garner ANY respect from the players because he's shown he has no morals and is a lying backstabber.
I'd rather prefer someone within the club to show a bit of backbone and name and shame those behind what happened at Huddersfield and the binning off of Gentle.
Get Pearson to admit he made a hash of employing Radford, get shot of them (including Andy Last for me as well) then we can start afresh.

The club is in a shocking position and it needs someone with a pair of boll0cks to get the club cleansed..starting with the cancer that is Radford, nothing else will do IMO.

So you have all the inside information then about what is going on inside the club except the names of the miscreants at Huddersfield. How come this vital bit of information has escaped you ?

At the end of last season we were told the players didn't want to play for Gentle. Now we are told they don't want to play for Radford. Who the hell do they want to play for? Maybe it's time for a tough no nonsense coach in the style of Wane who tells them how it's going to be and doesn't ask them whether players who have been loaned out should be allowed to play against them.

Isnt that what we were told that radford was going to stand no nonsense,yet we are at our lowest ebb for a while.
A big clearout is required starting with radford.

I was under the impression garnered from AP's statements that it is Radford that is undertaking the "big clearout", hence the amount of players out on loan? I'm not including Ben Crooks in this. (edited for poor spelling )
