Why, it is a single position, and we just let a load of keepers go

Surely the role of a Director of Football is to ensure continuity throughout different managers.

If you have a highly successful, well regarded goalkeeping coach who has been at the club for 10+ years, shouldn't NH be saying "you can't sack him". The core staff at the club should be protected from managers who, usually, only last 2/3 seasons at best. Unbelievable.

Sacking the kit man?! On par with sacking the lunch lady, the man that waters the flowers and the cleaner. WTF :?:

Maybe with Armstrong going the new regime are going to make the players wash their own kit now ?

Not that we weren't expecting it but surely this means Fedders is nailed on to leave.

And the kit man? Very strange, and if that really is Clarke's call then that is very hard to understand. I'm struggling to buy that.

Why? None of us have a clue about what these guys are like behind the scenes. We don't know how good a job they do.

Even someone like Bibbo. Just because we've had a good batch of goalies come through it doesn't necessarily mean he's the best thing since sliced bread. He may just have got lucky.

Feds still has near post issues.
McCarthy never learnt to kick.
Hamer has improved since he left.
Andersen hasn't progressed.

Just saying.

Can see Clark having a say in the goalkeeping coach issue but not sure what say he has, to out the kit man and medic staff ??

They haven't exactly rushed to remove their staff profiles from the OS.

After seeing that lot being sacked, I will not be surprised to see NH to be next.

And Lincoln and Gogic haven't made the grade

Maybe it's time for a new direction

Oh ok, you're right. we don't need a goalkeeping coach.


Clarke can seriously just oxf*rd off.

Why? Because he wants to bring in his own staff?

Truly ludicrous for a new manager to want to do that...

Pogrebnyak doing fuck all, earning £30k/week
HRK voted worst player of the season, is second highest earner
SC signing 40 year old rejects and never playing them
New contracts for Gunter, Kelly

I know what the problem is, the fucking kit man, let's sack him

:evil:
