I think that it's been reported this morning that he along with Cutler  and Danks is staying.


'Specialist set-piece coach Austin MacPhee, who also holds a senior position with the Scotland national team, and first-team coach Aaron Danks are likely to stay. Both of them were brought in by the club, rather than by Gerrard’s predecessor, Dean Smith'

This would back up my theory as well as making me very, very fucking angry.

Are you getting angry Nev

I think they’ll keep Cutler and ditch MacPhee.

I can see Danks and Cutler staying but MacPhee I’m not so sure.

I'm very pleased Cuttler is staying, delighted in fact.

I don't mind the others staying whilst Gerrard runs the rule over them to see if he thinks they'll fit in, but this is on the assumption that Beale is head coach of course.

Gerrard is head coach.

I agree Nev, it looked to me like like Smith had been fatally undermined. He didn’t help himself of course, but it made it harder for him to turn things round.

Well those of us who have recruited staff in our lives will know you sometimes get it wrong, and then find it I,possible to get rid of them once they’re in

I find that bizarre - disturbing, in fact - because it offers plenty of opportunity for confusion, infighting and finger-pointing.
Crazy.

Culshaw apparently is a set piece coach. Nanny Pulis is only part time isn't he? Not sure we'll see much of him at all if he is still on the books. Danks has the short of CV Gerrard looked for in some of his coaching team, so I can see him taking him on.

Big Cuts has been brilliant with our keepers.

I think keeping them on is a positive. If we've got big ambitions, we need a big team to help achieve them. As long as the Head Coach is strong enough to put his ideas forward, and take a lead, then I'm all for it.

I'm not sure our failures can be put down to Danks and McPhee; Smith carried the can as the top man but Shakespeare must have played a big part.

This is so true.

I hope the long haired yahoo (Alf from home and aways quote circa early 90s, not mine), stops running up and down the touchline like an angry 80s prog rocker with a hangover. Thats my hope for McPhee if he stays, that he’s just quiet.

"Austin MacPhee, Aaron Danks and Neil Cutler will also remain at the club."

Hmmmmm.

Oh well, clean slate for everybody I suppose.

He's got a raw deal. It can't be his decision for us to use the long throw every time.

Fair play, at least you know there will be be lots of one-on-one coaching with there being more staff than players.
