Surprised nobody has mentioned Curtis Woodhouse 
Look what happened to the last media type who suggested Woodhouse might be in for a coaching job at GTFC. Just don't accept any invitations to chair any meetings at BP Rob.  |

I remember Wilko's first stint on the coaching staff here under Lawrence (and Groves for a little bit) where he was a First Team Coach I think, alongside the Manager AND Assistant.
I remember him being very well thought of and doing good work with the bunch of u21s we brought in en masse at one point (Chris Thompson, Hockless, Ford, Bolder etc etc) .
Also seem to remember him being widely credited with having a great influence on the quick development of Michael Boulding.
And then Lennie took him to Cardiff. In the years since, there's been many times were people have called for us to get him back as a Coach. (Granted, I realise there's a section of people that only ever want ex players in jobs here, but still).
So it's funny now to see the change in people's opinions on him.
Football, like other areas of life, moves on quickly. Look at the success Big Sam achieved embracing sports science. Now, players at just about every professional club wear those bras. Granted, you still have to interpret the data but it is more about doing it to keep pace now rather than gaining an advantage. What was new and innovative in 2001 is likely to be archaic in 2018. If you don't move with the times, you often come to the end of the road. |

That's fair enough and I get that the game's moved on, massively. Just think there's a lot of assumptions about him made based on Slade's management that's all. And none of us have probably actually seen him Coach (OK maybe some will have done). |

Collins, Davies, Lester...seen someone suggesting Disley on Twitter. Let's just wrap this up as quickly as we can, eh? Wayne Burnett Chris Hargreaves Paul Harsley Craig Shakespeare John McDermott Paul Groves Feel free to add any ex-Town player because heaven forbid Michael Jolley thinks there's a supply of able coaches without a GTFC connection.
Did we not have a player called Marc Goodfellow a few years back?...that would work |

Yes Tommy. I find the criticism hard to understand as well unless it is just that people don’t remember him from before. He is tarred with the Slade brush and that seems unfair. He wasn’t responsible for the results. It is like blaming Steve Bould for Wenger failing to win the league. An assistant is just that - assisting. Not a joint manager like Scott & Hurst. I remember Buckley actually saying as much about Arthur Mann’s job when he first came to BP. Only one man is in charge. Jolley is right though to want his own assistant and I don’t blame him in the least for making a change, all part of showing that this is a new regime. |

Is Craig Disley already on the coaching staff?. A little bird told me he saw CD looking after one of the academy teams in a match a couple of weeks ago and he was wearing a Town track suit. |

RRFC You are right that the manager will usually make the final decisions, but a good assistant will/should offer astute
thoughtful opinions to the Manager for consideration, perhaps PW did, who knows, but it certainly didn't look like it as our forward movement (something he should surely have improved, as a forward who played at a high level) was appalling.,
Clearly MJ doesn't particularly rate him, so perhaps that tells a story, naturally its sad to see someone lose their job, but a good decision for the future of GTFC IMO.
