ciderbeans Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Given what he's done over in Spain, I would be happy to have him back in that role. I'm sure he has many links to Spanish youth and some quality young players and he has had his academy running for many years now very successfully. I say welcome home Tinman. We will actually be able to sing his old song again too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciderbeans Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Are you not aware of his academy out there that not only develops new youth but helps pros that have lost their way and get them back into the system. I believe Tristan Plummer went there and is plying his trade abroad now. All this in mind, he will have gained numerous contacts and links out in Spain which is never a bad thing and having a link to his academy would almost be like a direct feeder club to our academy. It can only be a positive thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

citywest30 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 What a nice surprise. More posts in favour of his return than against.

It can only be a positive thing That isnt the best argument I've ever seen. Just 'having' an academy doesn't mean much. There are kids football clubs all over the world, a dozen in every town. 'Developing' new youth is a bit of waffle too. Tristan Plummer is garbage, is that why he went running over there? His academy is an official feeder for Everton (his words), how many young Spanish talents do Everton have on their books? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slacker Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Andy ,genuine question.What do you think are the negatives to Tinnion coming back.Why do you think he will not be able to do a good job in that position? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexukhc Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Plummer went to Portugal, didn't make it, came back last year after like 4games and gave up on the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezgimed Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Plummer went to Portugal, didn't make it, came back last year after like 4games and gave up on the game Surely you're mistaken, Tinnion coached him to greatness and sent him to Real Madrid. The fact is he admitted in his interview 'most the kids are expats'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is HIGHLY unlikely that most British kids who have been dragged to Spain by their families are all good enough magically to be pro footballers. His Academy is simply an Ashton Boys or equivalent, based in Spain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride of the west Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Im not being cynical, just an honest question. Are there any pros who have got a club in spain or england which went through his academy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fka dagest Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 On the basis that any job vacancy should be offered to the best candidate, it does seem a little surprising that Tinnion happens to be best placed.

dezgimed Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 I think the main points have been covered. Best man for the job? Probably not. Football Academy for Pro kids? No. Job for the boys? Yes.
