alexukhc Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Reading the same article says he had another brother at City ”Fewer people may know that Cameron Brown also came through the City Academy and is even tipped as the best player of the three brothers by some.” who...

Bobby Reid mentioned in his interview with Neil Maggs that Cameron was his best mate and was at City for “a short time” and that in his opinion “he was the best of the three”. So Ronald McDonald has basically copied that bit. Pretty sure the bit about him being our youngest ever player is wrong, too.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pongo88 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 This story is a few days early. April the first is Sunday. As an April fools joke it’s not very good as no Championship club would appoint a player who spent most of his career in non league football, and couldn’t score, as a coach working with strikers.

EmissionImpossible Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 So by many people’s reckoning only good players should be coaches and probably managers by that logic. If that was the case all clubs would have the same staff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Betsy played over 200 matches at league level. Marvellous Marvin didn’t manage 50. What’s ridiculous about this appointment is Marvin was a player who couldn’t score at league level, yet he’s been appointed to coach the under 18 strikers! Why didn’t he give himself some coaching and then City could have sold him for £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As others have pointed out hardly any of the top coaches have a playing record worth speaking about. I work as a trainer teaching people how to run their payroll on software my company supplies, I have never run a Payroll in my life. The customers have never once complained and are often quite surprised when I tell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess I’d say earning his coaching badges? ability as a player doesn’t necessarily have any translation to ability as a coach. just carry on and write him off for the sake of it though, sure that will help everyone.

Passed all his appropriate coaching badges..?! It’s not like he’s been hired to work with the first team. (I think we’d need Alan Shearer before we get any joy of Diony..!) He’s gaining experience by working with the under 18’s. Nothing wrong with that at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
