Joe Edwards - The new gaffer

[Shawmi]

Joe Edwards to be confirmed as our new head coach early next week, speculation all over and a new era. I am pleased with this decision, we had to take a chance and seems to work for other clubs bringing in new young talent and taking a risk, Eddie Howe was in his early 30’s, manager at Ipswich etc. Pleased we have not gone with the other candidates to be honest and now looking forward to how things progress.

Thoughts ???

The more research done, the more you can see why he has been given a chance. He must have plenty of contacts as well at the highest level .

Hopefully a completely new back room staff set up too, needs it after 4 years with Barrett even longer.

Will have lots of contacts at Chelsea and we could see some youngsters coming in on loan through his England connections too.

Would like to see AB, Robinson and Marshall leave the club with Nugent moving up to the 1st team with Robbo taking over the 23's.

Nugent in the first team set up makes sense.

Brave and exciting appointment. Andy Myers as Assistant is also very highly rated. I just hope the idiots give him some time!

 

[Axholme Lion]

Might be a good appointment, just as long as he doesn't bring any England woke nonsense with him.

I rekon he has the brief, if not he will soon understand!!

We need to give him time, this season is for creating a completely new approach, as low as the planks to start getting on his or the players backs because we're not top of the league after 10 games.
As long as we don't go down I will be happy.

100%. This is a transitional season for us. Not bothered about where we finish. So long as it’s not in the bottom 3.

 

[Romney Lion]

Lots of work to be done and we will soon find out who sinks and who swims. Prerequisite is simple keep us in this division so that we can transition into a decent promotion chasing championship side.

Rich Crawley reckons Barrett is staying, which seems a backward step. Let’s hope it ain’t as director of football

Think he will be our new attacking coach.

Continuity, he was here before Rowett as well...
I think as a club we don't like to lay people off...

I rate Nugent but think he’ll be more valuable to the club staying with the younger players. The sooner they acquire good habits and skills the less painful it will be when, hopefully, they join the first team squad.

Barrett’s knowledge of the players, character and capabilities should be invaluable to Edwards.

Maybe to do some kind of hand over for a few weeks, but Barrett and the other coaching staff should move on.
