We had Russell Earnshaw visit us at our rugby club, where he held a session for both the coaches and the kids. He is a very interesting individual. A lot of the stuff was about empowering individuals, encouraging them to think and play it as they see it.

Very interesting. It sounds to me like Danks (and maybe other younger coaches) are trying to combine the two trends if recent years: the drilled patterns and movements of Pep or Klopp types, and the situation-based stuff and encouraging of responsibility that Mourinho is so into.

It's not just an American thing - we've had offensive coaches before. And offensive managers.

I would say that O'Leary was an outstandingly offensive manager and Lambo's brother in law (I think?) totally offensive coach.

We,the English seem to lead,rest on our laurels,fall behind,catch up ,lead,rest on our laurels..fall behind.
Read an article yesterday once again lauding Jimmy Hogan,ex Villa boss,how he taught the Hungarians who then brought modern football to the world ,in the meantime putting 6 and 7 past England in the 50s.
Slowly we modernised and were pace setters in the 60s after abandoning the antiquated WM formation.
After years of 442 and sterile coaching,foreign influences especially Wenger have had an effect and we now have a generation of celebral coaches.
Bit like Brexit,only our football is way ahead of our politicians.

I couldn't put my finger on why his name sounded like a keyboard player in a band. Then I realised I was thinking of Tony Banks from Genesis.

I couldn't put my finger on why his name sounded like a famous Villa-supporting Hollywood actor. Then I realised I was thinking of Tom Hanks.

I couldn't put my finger on why our other coach's name sounded like someone famous. Then I realised I was thinking of the woman in 'Shakespeare & Hathaway : Private Investigators'.

I couldn’t put my finger on why his name struck a chord, then I realised I was thinking of the reason I’m not allowed to donate sperm. Barren wanks.

Godammit, it's the winner, won't even try to top it. Paddy, you bastard, I'm through.

I had him down as the mystery street artist that funded Brexit.

I thought he was a character in Suits.

I thought he was a character in Suits.

A Suits saddo writes: there’s nobody with anything close to that name in Suits. The only Aaron is Aaron Korsh, the writer.
