John Robertson and Steve Walford

That should go down well, moving to Newcastle.

O'Neill is a bit of a closet Mackem - he even promised that he would never ever manage Newcastle

I have it on good authority that John Robertson made negative remarks about our chance
of victory when asked by airport staff as the team left for Moscow-

Don't think much of a bloke who chain smokes outside entrance of Walsall FC either when
Academy lads are loading up the kit van two yards away -

Bye bye - enjoy your next job if you get one       

Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Not sure I have ever actually seen him doing anything. Looked about as far as from a football coach as possible to be honest...

Is it safe for me to say that Robertson reminds me of 8 Ace from Viz?

[Oscar Arce]

It was quite funny to see Walford and Robertson chain-smoking outside the players entrance just before going onto the pitch to do the warm-up though.
I'll kind of miss that in a Sunday football kinda way.

If you read the cloughie autobiog he didn't look much like a footballer either
didn't stop him lifting the league and the euro though

Ha ha.  I'd actually say that 8 Ace looks positively healthy and chipper compared to John "hack, cough, splutter" Robertson.

[Irish villain]

I don't think the players had huge respect for them to be honest. That's my gut feeling.

I wasn't aware of the chain smoking, that is quite poor form really.

Cloughy on Robertson's smoking

So MON, JR, SH and Seamus the goalkeeping Coach had left and who else is gone. Ian Storey Moore ?

That will help to reduce the wages bill.  as among with Harewood, Milner (Not yet), Shorey, Bouma, Marshall

how many coaching staff have we got left ?

[David_Nab]

ISM is the scout right ?
So what does he get paid for ...sitting at home watching Super Sunday ?
