Goalkeeping Coach Situation

Featured Replies

Anybody notice against Arsenal Fred Barber was still out with Jussi warming up? Apparantley Jussi had a bust up with the new goalie coach and said if Fred Barber goes so do I so Barber is staying. Im not sure what the new guy will be doing now though :rofl:

Jussi

this info was spreading fast last sunday at the game

 

only surprise is its taken so long to come out

The unwanted distraction could explain the keeper's uncharacteristic uncertainty of late,

 

Aint he always been the same

No matter how good Phil Hughes is I would have been none too happy as well. Coyle out!

 

YHIHF.

Al Habsi is really close to Barber too.

Ali Barber???

maybe the new goalkeeper coach wanted to work on Jussi's kicking... :roll:

 

 

maybe ali will get his chance sooner rather than later..

i hope he plays against sheff utd. then coyle would have had a look at pretty much everyone.

Ali Barber???

 

Classic...that tickled me

Lack of commonsense over this situation, Coyle should have been advised by Gartside that Barber was Jussi's coach and therefore Hughes services were not needed.

The burnley boards are loving this one. Just a simple fall out from what I can see. You can understand where Jussi is coming from with how long he's worked with Barber for.

no one's bigger than the club-Meggo wasnt and Jussi is not different if you dont like it close the door on your way out should be the message, Al Habsi more than capable of stepping in.

all three keepers at the club form a close knit group with Barber and Coyle should've understood that before trying to show him the door.

Correct. It's not about being bigger than the club. It's about discussion between the relevant parties. Can't just go wading in waving a big stick.

Whist Fred has obviously done an exceptional job as GK coach i dont like the fact Jussi has spat his dummy out in this way. I am sure that adequate discussions took place over which backroom staff where to stay / go. Prehaps FB was an excellent GK coach but got himself bogged down in the whole GM thing and became part of the dead wood at the club. If its a choice between the old ragime or a new one minus FB i think we will be better off with the new one without doubt. Just a thought.

 

As for JJ spitting his dummy out, he is a legend and been one of the best in the prem but he needs to remember how much he gets paid by this club and the mess that we have been in before rocking the boat like this.

no ifs and buts Owen Coyle is paid to be the MANAGER of Bolton Wanderers Football Club, end of story.

and a good manager understands that good relationships between staff often help produce better results.

 

Barber has been doing an excellent job, the people he was responsable for liked him i saw no reason to get rid.

 

also here's Fred, Jussi and ali's coaching site

Seems Jussi posts on that forum :)

 

Nice to see it's not just an agent!

If they want to keep their off field business relationship ongoing then fine there is always life after football.

 

However Jussis day job is playing for BWFC and its them that pay his wages and not Fred Barber. Coyle can't be seen as asking Jussi if he's ok with every decision he makes in case he's spits his dummy out as its undermines his position and authority and then paves the way for other players to start demanding what they want and all of a sudden Coyle is getting paid to do what?. Not doubting the excellent job Barber has obviously done as we have 3 very good goalkeepers but we now have 2 goalkeeping coaches on the pay roll, and Coyle has got to be focused with the job in hand and needs to be comfortable knowing his own men who he trusts will implement his ethics and ideas. Coyle does listen-he offered Chris Evans a job which someone must of had as word with him about? If I told my boss Id leave if I was unahppy at the treatment or decision effecting a work mate and want them re-instated then he'd see me out the door personally, Jussi is probably one of the top earners at the club and is set for life....he needs to pick up his lip and get on with it!

Loving Jussi's grammar and spelling!

He is a proper text talker! ::lol::

 

Seems to be very helpful on there to the up and coming keepers which is good though.

Fred barber turned Jussi from a nervous wreck into a quality keeper, hes been like a second father to him. He also helped find Al Habsi and Bogdan who are both good keepers. Weve had good quality keepers for a long time and a lot of its down to Fred Barber and thats why Jussi kicked off.
