I think the difference is cowans has a proven and successful track record as a coach whereas Gary mac has an extremely poor record at each club he was coach and manager of.

Because Sid is given no control in the set up as it is
Is he not first-team coach?

He's not good enough his CV shows failure after failure in a management/coaching role, a sentimental old pals act reunion.  A big mistake

Gary mac could not have been appointed on his coaching record , so he was just appointed on his playing record under houllier at Liverpool- that was a big mistake !

There was a post on VT sometime ago that affirmed our shit defence is down to McAllister, with Leeds/Cov citied as examples.

Either way, get rid.

We have 4 ex midfielders on the coaching staff, no ex defender or ex striker and that shows in our play.

At least o neill had a defensive coach and an attacking coach of sorts , if houllier had got either of his two 1st choices then I think we would be much better off- but I really don't see what Gary mac does to warrant his position.

both Houllier and Mac sit on the bench like they are waiting for a fucking bus. Its embarassing, the whole thing is a shambles

And what are you basing that on?

The fact it suits your argument?

He's our first team coach. What do you think he does? Stand on the sidelines playing Angry Birds?

Can't be done with this anti McAllister stuff.

It's Houllier who's Manager, and out of the two - it sure isn't Mac's fault we're in this mess.

Its difficult to judge how good an assistant manager is unless we are at Bodymoor IMHO. That said something with the whole managerial team must be drastically wrong at the moment.

I would have Gregory back in an instant as a coach/Assistant but I m sure his ego would not now let him revert to an assitant role again.

And anyway he sold his personal plate so would nt consider it anyway :)
