    What a shame another highly regarded former player goes there. Brian Howard should have had a word with him.

    And how many coaches do you think we need. I dont get this obsession with people thinking ex players will make great coaches.

    I swear you never ever miss an opportunity to have snide petty digs at anything regarding the club mate. Its almost impressive!

    It's ok to be disappointed when someone you rate from their time with us goes to another team in the region. I understand It's his choice and good luck to him.

    Why is it disappointing? He needs a job, we don't have anything suitable (or pay enough) at the time, so he gets a job and does well. Good luck to him.

    I'm impressed by how fast he pivoted from Tuesday: "Streamline our bloated staff!"

    The girl he is seeing is also from Barnsley so makes sense for him to be local ish.

    Good lad. Average player. Run of the mill. Not sure where you're coming from with this.

    Has he retired or is he doing it alongside his playing career at Notts County.

    He still lives in Barnsley & has a child with his ex-partner & I’d imagine he wants a local coaching role that means he doesn’t have to move away from his son. You can’t exactly blame him.

    I remember having a word with Jim O’Brien at Bournemouth one night. He was out injured and detailed to give out vouchers for hot drinks to the travelling support.

    I agree. Bobby Charlton was one of our greatest players but a disaster as manager at PNE.
