Football Department Review

[Baggers]

I accept that it's way more critical that the players understand him than me. I'm not convinced that he cannot be employed only as a tactician / footy analyst. That's basically what he does now. If that's what the club offers him, and he says "no, senior coach or nothing", then we say arrivedverci. We can't be held to ransom. I am of course being hypothetical about what has or hasn't been offered.

Yes, that's what he's doing now... but he's now realised it aint enough, as demonstrated through his reaction to what Lethal said to him.

I recall, quite vividly, Ross giving an analysis of a game a few weeks back, using the big screen on the wall. He wasn't giving an analysis (though he was!), he was coaching. He was passionately invested in what should be done and why, he was passionately frustrated by what wasn't being done and why. No point asking a frog for his legs only because you like his spring! Gotta take the whole frog... and so it should be.
