"Pako" Ayestarán (Assistant Head Coach)

[Footy-Vill]

Pako speaks excellent English.
He's been a manager.
The touchline is his home.
I think he'll be fine in that role as already takes a lot of training and of course involved with all aspects of team strategy.
Emery leads of course but in Sunday Pako will be the front man leading from the sidelines.
McPheee on set piece duties as ever.

Sunday ?

[Olneythelonely]

Sunday ?

Yeah, Sunday

[Footy-Vill]

Peter Bankes is the match official on Sunday.
He's quite particular to anyone who dissents be it player or manager.

He sent of Rui Silva who was in charge on the touchline for Forest when Nuno Santo was banned earlier this season.

Pako is to run team from touchline this Sunday, as Emery suspended, must be vigilant with Bankes form.

Has Pako ever done press in English? Anyway, welcome Sir (2 years and 2 months later...)!

You can always tell by the face if a ref is going to be a ****** ref or a good'un. Bankes looks like David Cootes brother, a proper pair of ******.

Both have an 'e' in their surname that's not needed.

At least they're not Greggs.

Gregges

Another reason for Duran not being selected because Emery absence from touchline means even more unable to get messages to him that he'll follow!

[Footy-Vill]

I think it was telling no Emery on the touchline as much as Pako and the rest were doing what they could on sidelines I would say with Emery by the side of the pitch - that second half performance wouldn't have been going on.
We would have won the game.

Maybe but it’s not dissimilar to how other games have gone this year.

Understatement of the year.
