But don't you rate his judgement on what coaches he wants to work with? He might have no choice. Let’s suppose there are only the funds to make 2 further appointments & he feels prioritising recruitment (Walsh) & medical (Rennie) makes the most sense? Hardly a far fetched scenario, is it?

I'm OK with Downing and Simpson staying on if NP has said he would like them to stay (which I assume he has). If it's something that Nige has had to compromise on I'd be disappointed.

But you can’t have it all and good point made earlier that we need to concentrate on filling the roles we don’t have currently. Just feel though that if we really are going for it let’s go all in. Far far easier said than done though I very much appreciate that. Football fans are fickle and after a bad season, there is a natural assumption that all the players and coaches are rubbish. Not surprising, but it’s unlikely to be true. Let’s see what NP tweaks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Ashton said a while ago that continuity is important so any new Head Coach would only be permitted to bring in one member of staff with him, this is how most of the bigger clubs operate now.

MelksRed Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Nigel, Hat off to you - you are clearly not a man who choses the easy path. A massive project awaits you along with a large cohort of fans who are keen to welcome you to the gate when the time comes. Thanks for investing your time in our club, you clearly see something there....please give us a reason to be excited when we turn up at AG.....we need it after the past 18 months.

I agree Graham. Plus the fact that they signed 3 year deals on probably considerable wages. Are we still paying off LJ as well? I know DH was on a rolling contract, but all of these things cost. I think their cards are probably marked in the medium to long term. But any other coaches currently employed, would need to leave; and then probably do some gardening leave again at their present clubs. It all takes time. NP probably just wants to get going here and now; as he knows that we've got a hell of a lot to do in 3 months before the new season starts.

COYR I don't think it would be a compromise, let's face it he heald all the cards. Hopefully he has said he is happy with what he has seen from them so far, if it's a 3 year contract and one of his jobs is to manage them out of the club and then he can bring in his own then that that wouldn't be a bad thing IMO.

Likely he'll be out of Spurs in a few weeks when they appoint a new Manager. He's head of coaching for Spurs Academy I expect he'll just move back to that role following the appointment of a new manager. Now someone like Kevin Phillips who was striker coach for Pearson could be a potential person to being in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there contacts aren't up for a couple years yet then, we will be paying for LJ until this summer I think (but may have a clause for joing another club) and we will be paying for DH until February then?

I presumed LJ joining Sunderland meant that his compensation ceased & had been sorted? Likewise with Holden, once he took a job at Stoke. If the Chuckle Brothers are on 3 year deals then no way would we want to pay them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formerly known as ivan Posted April 28, 2021 Report Share Posted April 28, 2021 Three year deal is far too long based on what we have seen. An expensive sacking on the horizon... 12 months with an extra year option would have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
