Becoming a habit for Old Royston.

 

[iSafc]

I heard he wasn't happy with the colour coordination of the cones in training.

 

[viccarlton]

Can anyone tell me just exactly what the worth of an assistant manager is, what do they do, what do they achieve?

 

[Mainze]

Taking over as manager of..........

 

[Cludgie]

Was always a strange move for Keane. I guessed that he'd only gone on the understanding that he'd get the job when Lambert got the bullet. Must have got sick of waiting.

 

[Pepe]

Back in management, pleasing.

 

[flusheding]

Didn't seem to be doing much there tbh, wouldn't have looked good on his CV.

 

[Kenna]

Was never there to be an assistant, be stepping up the job hunt as a manager now.

Well O'Neill was fucked without his when he came here.

 

[Oh Bugger]

'Helped' Villa to 16th. His job is done.

All sorts. Take training, act as a conduit between manager and staff, offer a second opinion, etc.

Advice on beard growth

 

[onkeldonald]

What a surprise.

 

[dangermows]

got sick of the empty seats

 

[Howard the Duck]

Becoming a habit for Old Royston.

Pretty sure this is the first time he's left Villa!

 

[SurreyMackem]

Hasn't Lambert just signed an extension to his contract until 2018.

Perhaps he was hoping to get the No 1 job.

Well I kind of knew what you suggest, my point was really are they necessary, further more the back room staff from assistant managers, first team coaches, second string manager/ coach, goalkeeping coach, fitness coach , dietician, physiotherapist etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. the list is never ending and most of them don't really achieve anything do they?
Biggest laugh I get is when there's a substitution and you see some muppet showing the player a notepad or a tablet with God knows what on " right lad this is a pitch, at that end there's a goal" he flips to next page, " this is a ball, try and put it in that white rectangular thing at that end * stresses which end*, or if he's a defender he'll probably give some full blown diatribe on how to stop the opposition from scoring.
Point is should they not know whatever it is they're telling them already?

I've noticed that Mourinho tends to spell out exactly what he's expecting from his subs and I suspect he'd not waste his time if it wasn't absolutely necessary.

Surely it's common sense for the manager to update the sub on say any tactical or formation changes by the opposition during the match?
