Backroom staff


Recommended Posts

There is a, rumour circulating that McAllister has reigned.  I have no knowledge of whether this is is true or not but it made me think about or current coaching set up. Given the likely financial constraints caused by the pandemic will the new manager be expected to work with our current coaches or will he have some leeway to bring in his own team.

Everyone keeps talking about a Manager, but Lee Johnson was Head Coach and that’s significantly different to a manager.  I really can’t see Lansdown wanting upheaval behind the scenes so I suspect that the new man will be expected to work with existing staff.  That said, it’s interesting that Dean Holden has been put in sole temporary charge, rather than him and McAllister jointly, and I wouldn’t be surprised for McAllister to not be part of the setup (maybe following Johnson to his next job).

I think that a candidate’s willingness to work with existing staff may be a clincher.

My understanding (from someone at the club) was that McAllister was always LJ's man and Holden was much more highly regarded elsewhere in the club.  As such it doesn't surprise me that McAllister may have resigned.

Holden has been linked with Manager jobs elsewhere and so must have something about him, I wouldn't be too upset if he were to stay.

I thought it odd that Holden was named caretaker and no mention of McAllister with him or assisting him. I think it needs a new broom - all the assistants go and let the new man bring in his team. 

Holden has previous experience as a manager (Oldham) and has been on the coaching staff at both Oldham & Walsall.

Unless he left us at the same time as LJ he was always going to be the one to fill in based on relative experience.

Know nothing about the Jamie Mac rumour, but Wednesday will show if it is true or not.

Most, if not all managers have at least one assistant that goes with them when they move clubs. Allardyce  always has Sammy Lee with him and Warnock has Blackwell with him for example
 

I daresay that when LJ gets another club he’ll be on the phone to Holden and McAllister to join him.

Looks a happy camp, plenty of laughter and smiles, have the shackles been lifted?

Looks the complete opposite to me. Fammy looks like the only one actually smiling and that's directly at the camera. In fact, I'd argue they all look pretty glum and down.

That is a shame if true. I had hoped the other 2 stooges would go as well. They appear to have been LJ's nodding dogs.

Depends where he ends up, I doubt Macclesfield could afford either of them, LJ would probably only get offered the job if he was prepared to double up as kit man

Yeah, OK it's only a 40 second video of a 2/3 hour training session, but no-one looked particularly interested or eager in that.

To be fair, they're doing a warm-up of their groin muscles or something. How eager can you look ?

No, please, for the love of god no more Lee way.
