    Well done Martin. Great to see his coaching career wasn’t held back by Edin’s poor decision.

    sounds like he’s done a cracking job here. Good luck.

    To think that so many on here pointed the finger at him and his ability when things were going so badly wrong here. Good luck to him on what is a huge step up in his career coaching some of the worlds best prospects.

    Nah he wasn’t ready for what was asked of him. No one doubted his ability to coach youth players.

    Good luck to him.

    Shame but inevitable that he would appear on the radar of clubs higher up. Good luck to him.

    Good luck to him. He clearly does a very good job with the youngsters and thankfully for him hasn't been scarred by Rahic

    No, unfortunately much of my schooling was in Bradford.

    Who are the posters who angrily ask if he's still at the club whenever we hit a bad run of form going to blame now?

    I don't think I said otherwise but a lad at U15s level still at school IMO would be far easier to coach that a seasoned professional, but we agree with regards his new position and wish him all the best for the future.

    Wonder if Hughes gave him a reference?

    Went to the game at Eccleshill and you could see our young team had talent, particularly first half.

    If it involves someone at the Club leaving, I usually leave it in the City section for a while, before moving it to 'Where are they now' when no one is looking ;).

    Good luck to him. It's his niche and he's good at it. Perhaps a route to use getting some loan players when they reach maturity ?

    It's an odd thing amongst city fans, blame an assistant manager if things go wrong. Weren't McCall's failings during spell number one down to having Wayne Jacobs has his assistant in some eyes

    Fair play to Martin. Fully deserved opportunity after demonstrating his credentials at City. Wish him all the best and hopefully some favourable deals could be struck in the future!

    If he continues to do a good job, which I hope, then he'll rise up through the age groups and could end up as one of the exciting young U23 coaches snapped up by an ambitious, forward-thinking League Two club :)

    Let's hope we're in the Championship by then, though...

    His original sentence was correct. The commas in your sentence are wrong, USG. It's a defining relative clause and doesn't make sense if you separate the information. 'The poster who mistakenly corrected someone's use of English on a football forum was USG.' Vs. 'A football forum poster, who styles himself as an American civil war general, mistakenly corrected someone else's use of English.' You're welcome. :)

    So he is a coach to the under 15s at Man Utd. I think anyone hoping for any loans etc from it are grasping at straws

    I wonder if we’ll see the reverse of what people are thinking and see some of our younger players heading over to united. Maybe trials like McBurnie had

    Would City be entitled to any compo?
