Sounds like a good role and it will help the younger lads moving towards the first team.

Pleased he has stayed. Good luck to him.

 

New role created for Trueman,he obviously wants to be part of the set up going forward.
Hope it works out for him.

 

Sorry mate but I think you are wrong on this one. I think it's part of Sparks trying to create a better set up and Trueman probably suits that role having seen a couple of his lads come through last season.

Nice scooter by the way.

 

So not assistant then @Keefly Bantam like I said he won't be.

 

Yes, at least he’ll be first in line for caretaker again when we’re 17th and struggling come Christmas.

 

Pleased Trueman is staying. The club obviously rate him in some capacity:, hence the 3 year contract

 

Your wish is my command

 

Think his contract runs out at end of this month I might be wrong though

 

Some things are inexplicable, like when we gave McCall a one year extension during a never ending losing streak........

 

He's been mulling it over for a few weeks now. Probably using the time to see what options are available elsewhere.

To his credit, Truman signified early doors that he wanted to stay.

 

Sellars is getting too big for his boots but you can kind of understand that.

From the brink of managing a league one club to being bit part coaches of a league two team. It’s probably a hard one to accept.

 

Wonder what Sellars role will be if he stays?

Doubt he will though.

 

Well if we keep selling the young talent then he will have nothing to do.

It's a good role though and another contract.

 

It’s a totally made up job imo. The club are just trying to save face and not sack him off completely.

Good luck to him, thrown in the deep end far too soon.

 

Might be new position created, but why give him 3 year contract then if that's what you think

 

I am certain it's a new position created but I think the purpose of it is to keep him at the club as he is in the long term plans for the manager's position.

 

I don’t think contracts are our forte. Didn’t we give him a contract and then fire him? Wait a minute, I’m thinking about McCall. Oh. Wait.

 

I'm with you on this one Fordy. There will be some making snide remarks about the club just creating a role that isn't really there etc. It was obvious that Trueman and Sellers had been doing a good job behind the scenes with a couple of the lads that came through last season. And if this new role helps get more young lads ready for the first team rather than letting them to go to a big club for a few quid just to balance the books then I'm more than happy with him taking on this role.


And from Trueman's point of view he will be close enough to Adams to learn about managing and motivating senior pro's when they take their foot of the gas (like the latter part of last season).

 

Because the club see it as an important role?

 

Still mulling over an offer to resume a coaching role in the academy
