Someone asked above what football coaches are supposed to do? Even rhetorically.

Just reading about Coventry City manager Mark Robins,  he is regarded as an exceptional coach in developing some of their outstanding players,  He has really brought on individuals and the team.  Punching above their weight.

Quoted from friskneymariner
The club is in freefall ,the fans are looking for a simple solution for the cause.In reality the reasons are much more complex and not just down to one owner.There have been years of under investment and penny pinching.
After the Danny Coyne and Jeavons episode we had a very bad reputation amongst players and we were regarded as the last team to sign for.
The club is riddled with group think and any one who expresses a contrary opinion are shipped out.


Genuine question; what did we do to upset Danny Coyne?

Didn’t his deal expire & he went to Leicester?

That’s my recollection. We got relegated in his final season (no fault of his) and he got a move to Premier League Leicester as backup to Ian Walker, playing a handful of times. It was a sad end to his time here, but I don’t remember him leaving on bad terms.

Jevons we indeed treated like shít, mind.

After the Sky digital collapse we tried to reduce his salary against the terms of his contract.We stopped playing Jeavons as it would have triggered a payment to Everton for over 100 appearances

Yeah, I’m familiar with the Jevons debacle, but I thought the club’s attempt to reduce / defer wages was something asked of the entire squad (and non-playing staff), as was pretty common at other clubs badly affected by the ITV Digital collapse?

If I remember correctly Furneux was very critical of Danny Coyne in the G.E.T.

Quoted from Northbank Mariner


Why is it?...its all part of the problem, we need to move forward, we have stagnated, D.Moore is a great bloke, but he's a dinosaur now, method's have moved on, the training ground is a patch of grass surrounded by a farm yard warehouse abd portakabins...


Leave off Dave Moore and stay on the north bank.

We just seemingly can’t attract enough decent players, whether that be down to money, location or the managers. Probably a combination of the three.

Hopefully one day our fortunes change...
