    Glad to see that we’re following Edin’s blueprint. Appoint under 18 coaches. That bloke Edin really knew his stuff. Some say he was way ahead of his time..... well I know he said it.

    My god what a turnaround. I was n’t enthralled or excited about the appointment’s of Sparks or T&S but thank god somebody was. It’s been quite some time since I’ve felt this optimistic and giddy.
    Well done boys, all 3 take a bow.

    Read back, it was here countless times. It felt right after half a dozen games, its not just the managers but the process behind them. Things feel right now, its like we actually have a simple plan of wanting success and not just be here to make up the numbers.

    Some on here were banging on about bringing in ‘experienced’ managers for a long time. More often than not a lot of managers only have a limited amount of success and may have peaked. More than happy to have Trueman and Sellars. Ambitious and effective managers, who seem to be getting the most out of the players. They are recruiting, with Turnbull, players who can operate in the systems they feel will work.

    P.S. Rowe is 32, Cook 30 and Canavan will be 30 in 6 weeks time.....but I know what you mean. ;)

    Wilsden I agree with the statement( looking at developing talented coaches as well as players. ) but they are only getting the gig due to the massive upturn in wins, attitude, form and tactics and fantastic transfer window. Once we are stable we can develop and nurture talent but up until two months ago we were sinking faster than the Titanics cat and salt cellars...…. I am very happy with the outcome.

    Ask yourself this--could anyone/two coaches have done any better?

    Very pleased with this, well done T&S.

    There maybe good reasons just to make the contract until the end of the season, but do some on here still think it is because another manager is on a promise and coming-in in the summer?

    Didn't the Coventry team that beat Spurs in the FA Cup final back in the 80s also have joint managers?

    A Director of Football or Sporting Director will be lovely.

    Next season is massive. I just get that feeling.

    Joey Barton rocked up in Bristol.

    Store that one under 'bullet dodged' (or hopefully never considered)

    I read that on Facebook this morning, a post from yesterday.

    I wouldn't worry too much about your HP mate, this rumour done the rounds already.
