RedM Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 8 minutes ago, Gazred said: It's a fair point. It's been disrupted quite a few times over recent years. Agree. Hopefully this is one last big overhaul and from then on just a few tweaks. Shame to see Wade leave, but I guess he was pretty fortunate being able to gain that experience without moving clubs when he finished playing last season. If in a year or so time we have an academy that we see as being hugely beneficial it will have been a good and right decision. I appreciate that it might take years to see real rewards but for all we spend on it right now we see very little product. This has to change.

EmersonsRed Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Pembo will be here. I said it a few months back, not only is he highly regarded as a good coach as well as a passionate man etc - he has a good working relationship with SL and the board. When Cotts threw his hissy fit for 5 months Pembo was the one who spoke to the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at some point they need to stop constantly restructuring the academy and see what a bit of stability can do. It can't be beneficial to have so many changes. The academy is not the U 21's though is it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnderMB Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 I like Wade, and I'm gutted to see him leave, but if we want to take our developmental talent seriously then we need to invest in experienced staff to handle our increasing academy. As has been said plenty of times, the academy needs some consistency. It's been tinkered with heavily since the days of McInnes, and I'd argue that our appointment for U21 is probably as important as who our manager is. It needs to be a top-quality coach with a proven track record of developing young talent into first-team players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yardy Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Loved the time he gave the ball away in his own half and opposition scored from it then straight from kick off he ran through all oppositions midfield and defence and slotted the ball past the keeper, what a captain! I will be sad to see him go he is a top class professional and i wish him all the best in the future, good luck and thank you Wade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks to both, football can be a cruel game sometimes. Let's hope this isn't a repeat of last year's Summer shambles and the naming of some replacement real 'wow' players and coaches is imminent.

Always Believesham Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Not particularly comfortable about the swift departure without a replacement and very cut throat to say 'Elliott is Leaving' on the website. I have no idea about his abilities as a manager, losing players/coaches for the sake of a restructuring doesn't fill me with hope. An integral part of a team 'once in a generation' and sorely missed last year it's a shame to see him move on. Wouldn't be surprised if this was an ideal story to test the post's reliability to keep info under wraps until the club announce anything. Evidently it isn't great.

spudski Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 There are a lot of assumptions being made here... For all we know Wade may have chosen to leave. He's spoken before about not being sure as to whether football coaching is for him. As the website says... ' The club is in the process of restructuring its coaching setup and, FOLLOWING DETAILED DISCUSSIONS, the 37-year-old will depart BS3. He may have felt he wasn't suited to the new structuring process....it works both ways. However...I admired him as a footballer and generous human being.

ciderrider Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Whatever the reason for him going, for me the guys a legend, captain fantastic for that season and seemingly a top guy. Best of luck in whatever he does next, wherever that may be. But it is a shame we couldn't keep him on in some capacity, if he was willing; surely our midfield could learn from him and his experience?

I don't read it that way at all Spud, Glaringly obvious he's been sacked to make way for Tommy Wright. Expect to see Pembo taking over the u21 role thus freeing a slot for Wright to come in as LJ's no 2/Assistant ......exactly as he was at Oldham and Barnsley.

Red Exile Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Did a great job for us on and off the pitch in an important season. Captained one of the most confident, ruthless and professional City sides I've watched. You did us proud Wade, hope you're equally as successful in whatever you do next.

kiwicolin Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Thank you Wade for what you have done for our club. You have been a brilliant player on and off the pitch. Sorry to see you leave.

Kingswood Robin Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 He'll always have a special place in my heart as he scored what was to be the last ever goal my dad and I saw together, against MK Dons. Seems like the right sort of character/experience to have at the club so I'm a little disappointed at this. If he wanted to leave, I wish him all the best. If it was the other way around, I really hope we know what we're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe sacked,maybe contract up or paid up, maybe offered another role, maybe offered another job to work alongside Tommy Wright...who knows. But until anyone knows for sure, it's not worth speculating. At the end of the day he's leaving, and i'm sure he'll receive a great reception whenever he returns. My own thoughts...however nice a guy he is, and whatever he's done for the Club in the past, perhaps City are now looking for someone with a lot more experience in knowing how to coach and develop U21's.... 5 minutes ago, Bowie said: Jesus seriously...an u21 player was unhappy he got megged.

Offside Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Sad that Wade is leaving. He acquitted himself well for our club both as player and coach.
