In latest article on Yorkshire post it is saying we have been in talks with him over a return as a player coach. Stendel and Conor back in same window possibly. Wow
Conor Hourihane as assistant manager whilst being a player at the same time? What kind of parallel universe is this.
Well I'd love that. Not sure on reappointing Stendel but the Hourihane thing would make sense, even if we won't realistically get 46 lots of 90 mins out of him.
Hourihane as player coach? Who would manage? A return for Hecky perhaps? Lets go all out & get Scowen, Watkins & Winnall back eh!
This would be a very good signing. He knows how to get out of this league and is still a good player.
Someone posted that he’s been coaching our (and Villa’s) under 15/16s since Sep 23. I would absolutely love Conor to come back. I hope I’m not getting suckered in here by a daft rumour.
