Assistant Manager & 2 first team coaches. Rov'rum have also got Simon Tracey as a goalkeeping coach. Wonder why he hasn't been approached?
Goods stuff, out with the old and in with the new. Like Dyson says though, would like to bring in Simon Tracey too.
Why not? I imagine O'Hanlon will be leaving now the Rotherham backroom staff have been contacted. Leaving us a GK Coach short, will bring in new and fresh ideas too.
Yup They've been very professional throughout - think the Chairman's come across very well every time he's discussed it. Has another club ever put the full coaching staff on gardening leave because of an apporach? Very business like.
Reminds me a bit Of when Allan Clarke left for Leeds United in 1980 and took Martin Wilkinson and Barry Murphy with him (Norman Rimmington turned down the opportunity). We'd lost the man who'd galvanised the club in a way not seen before , or since, for the club up the M1. The untried Norman Hunter and Ian Evans became manager & coach respectively and were joined in the first team set up by Bobby Collins, who moved up from looking after the youth team. In the end it worked out well for us, but not for Leeds (who were relegated 18 months later and Clarke was sacked).
Breckin was a dam good Full-Back in his time. So hope he sorts the back line out.....But out of respect to Tony Stewert, I hope we leave there best players alone.....
