Sorry if this is asked elsewhere but almost a week since he was appointed

We know Sid is kept in some capacity but do we know who his backroom staff are?

I think it's all the rabble who helped him at the Blues.

I can't remember his name, but isn't the goal keeping coach he had at SHA reputed to be amongst the best in the business?  Also the chief scout they sacked that contributed to his resignation will likely also come in.

Dave Watson. My nose mates were saying that he's committed himself to them.

Grant was another one. Not sure if he has gone with him.

As far as I know he's only brought Peter Grant with him to replace McAllister. There is talk of the keeper coach Dave Watson possibly coming too. The assistant Andy Watson has said he's staying.

Dave Watson is the GK coach who is likely to join however Andy Watson is unsure of joining.

I hope Grant is there. Our best friends are very close to "Granty". My signed shirt request has already gone in ...

Peter Grant is a bit of a jinx figure every where he goes he ends up unemployed

would hope he stays well clear McLeish and Andy Watson have worked together everywhere he's managed so wouldn't be surprised to see him join up when he is punted by Birmingham

I imagine Grant and Watson have been told to wait until they are sacked when Hughton brings his own staff in - that way it won't cost us as much.

And they should also then get a pay-off

Anyone heard any more on this? Hughton is trying to get Calderwood, so maybe Andy Watson will also be looking for a job?

Peter Grant is apparently going to cross the divide and become Asst Mgr to McL. Read that in one of the papers yesterday (The Indie I think).
