    He used to frustrate me on the radio but then he grew on me. He made up phrases for fun and got himself in a twist at times but his passion won over the fans!

    as hornsea says, he seems a really nice bloke and its clear he loves the club. He’s got exp in similar roles. Good luck to him.

    I'm glad he's got the credentials because this is yet another appointment from within the immediate circle surrounding the club

    Well, if his performance is being measured by the number of intact hamstrings within the squad, he needs to be handed his P45

    They tried, but he pulled up just short of the office.

    Was agreeing with you after you answered your own question :joy:
    "Looks like this is to stop all the players getting injured. Wonder what the strategy will be."

    I know you were saying it for the laughs but
    theres a few ways to prevent injuries, will they exercise more just before games, exercise less over all? Maybe try different training schedules or have better warm down sessions.

    No idea what their strategy will be.

    Could be a shrewd signing, if we brought in a performance coach with that CV who wasn’t connected with the club we’d be probably very happy with it.

    I didn’t mind his commentary though even though it wasn’t an English lesson, if you didn’t take it to seriously it was a laugh.

    Hopefully he’ll also bring some much needed passion and personality around the place.

    A current squad with a plethora of injury issues..... Why not earlier this decision?

    Or is it a proloque to the upcoming January transfer window?

    Since those Huddersfield days back in 2010, can someone give me a timeline of his time in the game..

    It's another football man in the club that has to be a good thing the club have a who's who list on their website and I don't recognise many of those names as genuine football people

    Good luck Andy and welcome to the club, We certainly need some help in the back room as something is wrong, We now have 11 backroom staff for 22 players which probably get in each others way and confuse the players, I hope some leave and streamline the backroom support and they give Andy a big role as he has both experience and passion

    I was curious about this because it seems odd that someone who articles about are bigging up his contribution to Huddersfield between 2008 and 2012 gloss over the rest.

    What I was able to find is he was Academy Manager at Sheffield FC (And that's Sheffield FC not United or Wed) in 2015 but lasted 11 months. Was Development Coach at Leeds in 2019 but again lasted just 11 months. I can't find anything on his time at Man City or Forest.

    It does seems weird that if he was as good as his time at Huddersfield suggests that he has struggled to keep jobs long term since and hasn't worked more, you would think he would be more in demand and not having to do radio commentary. I guess the positive is though he has watched most if not all the matches not just this season but for a couple of seasons so while an outsider might need a few weeks or even months to really understand the situation and implement meaningful changes he should be able to implement things immediately. So while maybe not the best long term appointment might be a good short term one while someone better is identified and brought in from outside

    We're a fourth tier outfit, this role is hardly likely to attract a big salary, so our potential field is therefore going to be someone based locally with the right knowledge and skills, with relevant experience in the game.

    He often commented about opposition teams doing warming up exercises just before the second half started whilst City players traipsed on to the pitch.
    Perhaps that is why the team has been sluggish after the interval? It will be interesting to see if he puts his theory into practice tonight.
