Noel Blake .......Stoke Youth Team Coach Joining FA Coaching staff and Gordon Bennett Academy Director to join Championship club. Where's the Ritchie connection? Are you going to link Ritchie with every job vacancy? ff ff ff
RE: Noel Blake .......Stoke Youth Team Coach Um, no. Water blottle? </p> Does anyone know if AR was actually a good Academy Coach?</p>
RE: Noel Blake .......Stoke Youth Team Coach You would appear to have real problem with the honourable Mr Andie Ritchie. Has he bruised your ego at some time?
RE: Noel Blake .......Stoke Youth Team Coach No not really. What ever gave you that impression?</p> Iv'e never met the man.</p> I didn't get to see him work with the Academy so I can't comment. I just wondered if he was a good Academy Coach. </p>
RE: By proxy then why did you think that Davy would make a good manager? nt Iv'e already discussed that in a post a couple of weeks ago.</p> </p>
Sorry I haven't read it. It just seems your Ritchie bashing makes some of your posts a little hypocritcal.
Andy Ritchie was useless as Leeds academy director Johnny, a few guys got through with him Aaaron Lennon, James Milner, Scott Carson and some others, but I don't think any of them are much cop.</p> Simon Davey comes with a much higher academy reputation of course.</p>
Aye They were all talentless ming mongs off the street until magic Andy got his hands on them, FFS on a stick.
You got me there mate Of course I could call you a brainless tw@t but It would similarly be stating the glaringly obvious
OK, clever lovely person. Just gave you 3 names of people who came through Andy Ritchie's academy coaching. Give me an example of Super-Coach Davey's academy successes. Just one.
Are you sure? Give us the evidence that is correct and that Andy Ritchie was solely responsible for the developement of the these players. Paul Hart and the rest of the Bellend road staff had nothing to do with nor did the natural ability of these players did it? Andy Ritchie has been sacked by BFC. He was not god He was taking us back from whence we luckily emerged. Get used to it. The managerial merits of Simon Davey will be judged at the end of the season. I cannot be arsed to trawl through his historical performance because its largely irrelevant.
Bart time we all got behind Davey i've had a moan with the rest but this is a big week in the history of BFC,time to unite behind the team forget Ritchie and support Davey & the boys.</p>
