I think that's rather nice ... and a refreshing change from the language used by some posters  Smile

He put the club and it's requirements first, and he is a straight shooter.

Listening to him talk post match during his short and somewhat hobbled stint as coach he exhibited good modern football knowledge and terrific media management skills. It wasn't his fault he had a list built to succeed in the 90s.

I agree with that.

While paying out coaches is an expensive exercise, the club would have found the money if Bolton wanted Barker gone.  That suggests to me that Bolton was impressed with what Barker (and Capuano) have to offer.

Capuano is still a bit of a mystery to me. I haven't seen much from our ruck setups that fill me with joy, although I concede we tend to equal or win clearances in most games so he must be doing something right.

Mmm.........I must've missed something along the way.

He took over when the team was 1-7 or 1-8 - whilst I acknowledge that even Clarko could not have improved the situation much, I did not see much to inspire me, apart from moments like the Port game.

His media work was ok I guess, but overall I found him rather nebbish.

He missed out on getting the senior gig with us, and missed out with another team as well I think.

I'm not sure he would be missed all that much to be honest. But that's an outsider's opinion.
