I can’t speak for Jean but I 100% agree with his post. If it helps figure out Jean’s rationale / agenda, here is mine:
- he has a genuine passion for this club
- he has appointed 2 competent coaches who also have the aforementioned passion
- he puts NTFC success above his own ego
- he seems to man manage well
- he has them playing more on the front foot with a much more positive approach
- he doesn’t talk in footballing cliches
- he knows how to work with and develop youngsters - that’s our future
- he lives round here so commitment and work life balance pluses
- he’s not failed elsewhere and cashed in
Appoint him now until the end of the season.
STOP REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKES BY APPOINTING THE LATEST DROSS THAT DROPS OFF THE LOWER LEAGUE MANAGERIAL MERRY-GO-ROUND.
- let’s grow together, have realistic 5 year aims and achieve them.
Similar to Jean G's sentiments; all very admirable with perhaps item 5 bring relevant. I think your use of 'rationale' is admirable and might have helped me to be more succinct. Some of your proposals appear to be personal views based on dare I say it ; Tinted Glasses. Far more hard nosed appraisal would help on team tactics, game plans for L1 survival, coaching and the type of player required, transfer policy etc. I wouldn't mind a suggestion or two how to avoid the migration of key players at the end of season! To put it bluntly IMO personal sentiments are fine but if you support the immediate selection of a manager you may need to convince some hard bitten sceptics on here.
