your not seeing what i am saying...Rickets was just a name plucked up.

My gripe is weak management, job for the boys dress it up but that is what it is

You're against jobs for the boys and are proposing Nolan, Holden or Ricketts instead

Right

It really isn’t jobs for the boys. It’s working with someone he can trust (not easy in football) and someone who will work well with the players

There were 2 reasons we fell away so badly last season. One (huge) reason was injuries. This appointment should be your clue as to the other.

We are in Div 3, dress it up as lge1 

We cannot afford two joint deputies.............Grow some balls and  rectify this

Yes man to Evatt

Only one place Evatt is going, upstairs on the board

This is as bad as Robbie Blake

I'm struggling to get worked up about an assistant appointment in all honesty. 

It's a little 'jobs for the boys', sure, Gilks and Herd worked out well enough though.

I'd have thought most managers assemble their own back room staff mostly comprised of folk they know and trust 

Especially in league one

He has to make a living, fair play to him

Would have walked to Bolton for that Vacancy for less than either are on

So would I but it doesn't mean anything 

If it wasn't Ricketts and just some ex player from any other club who had ran a builders yard for the last few years, would you be happy?

Right

They are not Evatts mates............They have a History with Bolton not Blackpool

Just waiting for Mookey to be appointed to direct traffic

My gripe is they are employing two Assistants for the one vacancy

Cannot see that he’s a young ambitious manager who wants to manage in the premier league not a cat in hells chance he’s moving upstairs.

Crainey – who joins Wanderers after ending a spell as first-team coach at Wigan Athletic – will work under Evatt and alongside fellow assistant manager Peter Atherton, first-team coach Matt Craddock and goalkeeping coach Matt Gilks.

Worth its weight in gold on its own................

Would like to be the difference in job descriptions between assistant manager anf 1st team coach. Seems like overkill to me. Too many cooks and all that.

seeing as you see evatt and athertons workload every day id say you are very well qualified to comment

That’s a reasonable point. A reasonable response might be how many other teams, require two assistant managers, as well as a manager and coach?

Does it really matter what others do? Why don’t we try to follow our own path instead?

You’d think we’d spunked our entire transfer budget on someone putting out the cones and bibs when in reality all of the coaching staff will be on relative buttons compared to the playing squad. If IE feels it’s necessary - and let’s not pretend he won’t have had to sell this to the board - then that’s good enough for me.

Well, it clearly isn't one vacancy.

Whether it turns out to be a good or a bad appointment, it's for the club to decide how many they want as part of the management team.
