New Back Room Staff

[ktvillan]

The under 21 set up  has hardly pulled up any trees in terms of producing players who make an impact when they get a chance in the first team or even that stand out when on loan to lower level clubs.  Other clubs,  - e.g. Southampton, Everton and Liverpool,- have been more successful at that in the last few years.  So with all due respect to Sid I reckon we could, and need to,  do better at that level.

The facts of footballing life in the 21st century are that a new manager means a new coaching team.  I just hope that they all hit the ground with a Boltesque sprint.

It may sound heretical, but in a way I would be heartened if he got rid of Sid. Not that he deserves to be sacked but it would show that Sherwood is creating a new backroom staff from top to bottom and isn't afraid of making unpopular decisions. 

I agree. Our backroom staff has badly needed refreshing for a long time. We need some proven coaches.

As far as we know there is still the advert for a DoF out there.  My guess/hope is that the U21s would primarily fall under the DoF's remit.  Obviously Sherwood can and will have a say, but his energies and time should be focused on the first team, especially in the immediate future. 

The advert for DoF is still out there.  Search for Nolan Partners on the web and go to "current roles" page and you will see it 2/3 down the list.

S Marshall gone now.

I can't help but feel sorry for the bloke but, it goes with the territory.  Such is the tenuous life in football.  It must be difficult for spouses and children having to uproot and relocate when they are settled, presuming they live in the area.

Anyway, thanks Scott and all the best in your next employment.

Marshall was dead as soon as he revealed he was going to call Lambert before the Leicester game and still refers to him as "the boss"

[dave shelley]

I agree TV but, it's not unusual for people to turn to previous mentors for advice however bad  or incompetent that mentor may be/been, whatever walk of life/profession.  Marshall's term with the Villa was terminal from the minute Lambert was sacked.

Thanks for the help Scott and good luck in the future.

He was good at organising the defence so I hope we don't go from one extreme to the other. Sherwood needs his team in or he will be on his own coaching the squad.

I endorse those sentiments. Hope you find work soon.

You can't really blame him as he knew Lambert is his long term security.

Oh I don't blame him, but it helped seal his fate at the club.

So has Marshal got a 100% win record as a manager of a premiership club
