Remember him playing for Ipswich in the 90s.

Lucky thing. Are the Christmas lights up?

I don’t think I’ve ever left Blackpool fitter then when I went !!

The weekend breaks are ace... ??)

It must of been the criticism from denni that did it 😗

Well I can’t believe he was poached due to our lack of injuries and superb last 20 minute performances ??

Well thats come out of nowhere

Let the conspiracy theories begin....

Most of our back room staff are on peanuts and therefore susceptible to being poached

Pier pressure?  :)

Quoted from Mallyner

Pier pressure?  :)

Other than his short stint in Sweden, his other appointments appear to have been in the North West.

As has already been said, we seem to have had a lot of niggles this season and our fitness hasn't looked the best.

Trying to get Welsh and Fox up to pace broke him.

KP or supermarket own brands ?.....doubt Mr Fenty would stretch it to the KP.

Good riddance this is one of the unfittest Town squads in ages.

We have no chance if it was pier group pressure.  We lose out 3-1.

Denni, your time has come. With your thoughtful, scientific input on fitness we could really go places

Like Mablethorpe.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Like Mablethorpe.

Do they have a club? I was thinking more like Osset Albion or stalybridge Celtic

Dunno. I was just thinking about seaside resorts.  ;D

Herne Bay?

Do we need a fitness coach? surely dave moore doesnt spend most of his days rubbing men down?

Times have moved on. A properly qualified fitness coach with the skills to deliver are like goaldust in the modern game.

Are you JSF? ;)

Should have been West End

So will we appoint another fitness coach or will we do without? I think I know what Fenty and the rest of the board prefers

I think it's unfair to blame one guy for any injuries within the squad.

As an absolute minimum you need a strength and conditioning coach to ensure the players are in the best shape to endure the work the fitness coach will put in, which then should show benefits during games.

If the lad is/was employed as a fitness coach and he's either A) trying to make the players fitter without them having the conditioning work in correlation or B) trying to do both roles, he's on a hiding to nothing.

If we're going at this half-arsed we might as well not bother.

you would of thought it would of been announced by GTFC first rather than finding out from other sources

We still have the S&C coach who was appointed to look after the youth but nabbed by Slade for 1st team. Forrest was the fitness coach which seemed a little excessive for Town but when you look at the numbers of backroom staff many of the teams at our level now have perhaps not

I wonder if Hursty would be interested? He's out of work.

So the S&C Coach is doing both the youth and the first team then?

I don't think it's excessive at all to be honest. Even with the changes that Jolley is bringing in (and in fairness to previous managers, ones they've tried to bring in too), we're still miles behind most clubs.  

Much is made of the fact that the club is a hard sell because of the location.  But what about the infrastructure? I'd like to think the type of player we want to attract is one who wants to maximise their potential.  If you're coming here to look at the training ground, you're probably going to be a bit disappointed.

No, the Youth section appointed another S&C coach sometime after their original choice was 'promoted' ( this may have been within a week or so of starting). Cant recall his name, a doubled barrelled surname iirc?

Yep, Will Nichols Rose is the Lead Academy S&C.
