Desso Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 I know he was on the hit list for players leaving, but he's also an assistant coach for the academy and was coaching the under 23s during Friday's game. Anyone know if he's staying? I shall miss his half time analysis and the ball being the final turd. Good pundit though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 No idea but we do have a lot of coaches, Simpson, Downing, Mountain, Cisse, Alex Ball. Seems enough to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are you counting first team coaches and the U23's coach as one? Rene has been assistant to Alex Ball so why does the amount of first team coaches matter?

Could just be that as he is still under contract until the end of next Month (or whenever really), and that he is just seeing out the final few weeks of his duties. All the players that haven't been "retained" are still technically under contract with us, it's just that they don't have any more games/work to do for us, so have technically left. As a player/coach, their season wasn't over still, so therefore he is/was still contractually obliged to work. Could also be that he has been retained as a coach only. Ordinarily you would expect to see a story stating that he wouldn't be kept on as a player, however would instead be taking on full time coaching duties. Ordinarily. Ordinarily though, the media team/club would have announced that Korey Smith would be leaving before he announced it himself last year as well though, so who knows. I'm sticking with my original point though where he is still obliged to work as the season wasn't over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty certain midweek games are broadcast in the UK, it’s only the 3pm Saturday games that were traditionally not allowed to be screened domestically.

Desso Posted May 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2021 IMO, certainly knows what he's talking about. Insightful and intelligent. OK, he may have his faults, as we all have, but I get the feeling that some people on here aren't happy unless they're moaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since though I’ve gone cold on him, he needs to be reigned in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
