Moderators Horwich Posted January 27, 2021 Moderators Share Posted January 27, 2021 Nolan couldnt get a team promoted in 3 attempts, but folk are mentioning him to replace a bloke who hasnt had a full attempt of getting us promoted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny The Ball Posted January 27, 2021 Share Posted January 27, 2021 Apart from Evatt am I correct in saying we currently only have Peter Atherton his assistant working in any coaching capacity with the first team squad , and other than that I think only Julian Darby is working in a similar role with the Under 16s. If that is the case - I know money is tight , but to my way of thinking , I would sooner we forgo one additional signing if necessary and bring in someone on the coaching front - just till the end of the season to try and get more out of the players we have got. There must be someone out there - and it would potentially be a lot cheaper than having to pay off Evatt if we dont improve in 6 games time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've also got Stuart Pearce and Paul Nevin as 1st team coaches. So 5 1st team managers/coaches (plus GK coach). We've got 2, covering a huge squad. It cant be enough, for a start do neither of them ever have a day off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only coached at under 23 level in England and 12 months experience in USA I reckon he would be worth a punt seems a level headed sort of guy Looking for his chance in English football https://www.bbc.com/sport/av/africa/55817897 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read back through the thread you will see In an earlier post I had said that's how long I would give him to turn the situation around On current form 5 or 6 games is about how long it will take us to sink into the bottom two. At that point If he has not turned things around and If it were my choice I would get shut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Tranmere's case, can we have a bit of their luck? Aside from playing against 10 men for the 2nd half of the last 3 games, Morecambe missed a pen at 0-0 yesterday and the sending off wasn't for a dangerous tackle etc, its for foul and abusive language. If only one of our opponents would swear at the ref occasionally! (maybe if we ever got a decision they'd have reason to be angry). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter desperado Posted April 20, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 20, 2022 I was looking for the “Brand Evatt” thread to post this, but it’s disappeared. This one makes better reading mind! Good job Sharon had a bit more faith and patience than some on here! 😂 Good article, which shows the philosophy and method behind recruitment.
