New Back Room Staff

[Dante Lavelli]

This article on Ramsey also suggests that Sherwood is smarter than he comes across in his banterful interviews.  I'm pleased to read that he chooses to surround himself by Data Analysts and well studied people like Ramsey.

Where would Sherwood and KMac have worked together before? There was talk of Spurs lending a lot of players to Swindon so maybe they spoke there?

I'd have thought he'd possibly know Kmac by coming up against his teams, from his time with the Spurs academy.

Tony Parkes is the new GK Coach appointed, another one from Norwich.

[Chris Jameson]

What is it about Norwich?

[Rudy Can't Fail]

They're in the Championship.

[Duncan Shaw]

Parkes would have been with Sherwood at Spuds and Blackburn though wouldn't he?

Parkes would have been with Sherwood at Spuds and Blackburn though wouldn't he?

another well liked guy (by players & staff)

[Chris Jameson]

They're in the Championship.

Excellent forward planning in that case.

Wrong Tony Parks.

Tony Parks the goalkeeper is the one we've hired, hasn't played with Sherwood anywhere.

[Jon Crofts]

What is it about Norwich?

Our new feeder club.  Or as the yoof would say, they're our bitches.

He will have worked with Sherwood at Spurs indirectly as he was GK coach when Sherwood was Academy director, so they obviously know each other well, and he won GK coach of the year in 2013 at Spurs, so must be half decent.

I'd like us to get an attacking coach in, that seems to be the most pressing issue.

[Rudy Can't Fail]

Was that a Spurs in-house award or a national prize?

this is a big week for this staff. I'm glad he has got his team in place quickly. They'll now have an idea on what they are dealing with and the significant challenge ahead. We expect to see a lot better at Newcastle this weekend who themselves will be smarting from a kicking they took vs Man City. There is nothing at all easy about going there and winning, but we have to find a way. The analyst bloke he brought in is going to have his work cut out this week. The two places he can start though is finding a new way to get the ball to Benteke because the direct only approach didn't work and dumping Gabby.

I remember watching Parks's finest hour on telly back in the early 80s (84?). Penalty save hero in the UEFA cup final
