REDOWL Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 If we beat Preston tomorrow and Rhodes gets a hat trick none of us will care how old the Manager and Assistant are. We just want a period of success and get us climbing that table. WAWAW 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloxwich Owl Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Soon to be on sale in the club shop (available in blue & white)..... only joking - great to some experience coming in, their contacts could be invaluable when it comes to bringing new players in. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FinnishOwl Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 These days a manager in his 60s is almost in his prime if he has kept up with things. Networking is very important and I have no doubt that the new man wouldn't use them for us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbear05 Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 (edited) I think if the structure and foundations of a club are very solid, then you might have more capacity and (from a fan’s perspective) desire for a younger, more progressive managerial team. But the truth it, I don’t think we can say our structure and foundations as a club are competitive with the likes of Brentford, so I think it makes sense to have a managerial team with experience and contacts. I hope they can bring professionalism to the players but also to our owner and the rest of the club. As always - not really a fan of the Pulis appointment but looking for the positives Edited November 20, 2020 by gbear05 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buxtongent Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 Don't keep making the same mistake time and time again! Age = experience. Its a fallacy. If through your life, you keep doing the same thing over and over, that's NOT experience. The only way to gain experience is to make mistakes, then recognise what and where the mistakes are, and change them. A wise old Manager once told me 'You can make any mistake once and get away with it. What you cannot do is keep making the same mistake over and over. That's not experience, its bad habit. Experience is making mistakes and learning from them, or better still, learning from others ' mistakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 He's got a great range of experience and a lot of it will be particularly useful, not least the networking. I wonder if it's unusual for an assistant manager to have such a varied background. Best of luck to him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minesapint Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 As assistant manager it does not mean he is a major part of the coaching staff. In Pulis’ interview he made a point of the work that needed doing structurally to the club and the link between the academy and 1st team. It could well be that given his wide experience he is helping develop what happens outside the 1st team. A move I would think is a major step forward and shows what a positive move getting someone with Pulis’s clout will be 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOOTIE AND THE SHIT TU Posted November 20, 2020 Share Posted November 20, 2020 It looks like Chansiri is learning from his previous mistake You can't bring a new manager in and not let him appoint his own staff It took Monk over a year before he was allowed to bring staff in Just a bloke, who used up all his luck in one go when he met his wife.
