[Albion] Simon Rusk leaving.

[Biscuit Barrel]

More like 1,000,000 to one for Barn Door Billy l would have thought.

I assumed that Barn Door Billy was our current striker coach.

Good point . . .

Anyone got a price for Billy Acre?

No, but Billy Hill will give you 25/1 on Héctare Cúper

I wonder if it's a straight swap for Jim Gannon almost 12 years after Dick Knight tried to get him as our manager from Stockport?

Odd they've sacked him with the club in 4th place. Good opportunity for Simon Rusk, will be interesting to see who replaces him.

This really would be the perfect opportunity opportunity to bring Calderon back to the club.

 

[albionalex]

Wonder if he'll take any players with him, whether on loan or permanently.

Mark McGhee is now being touted as Rusk's Assistant Manager.

We should be looking for someone with the potential to become first team manager in due course.

Might there be a possibility of poaching Rosenior back from Derby? He was certainly overlooked for the top job.

Rosenior is assistant manager now at Derby. U21s at the albion is probably a backwards step for him ?

Don't understand the fascination or requirement to get an ex player in for the role. The days of jobs for the boys went when Dick Knight left.

I'm sure Bloom will get whoever is the best fit for the role. If that happens to be an ex player than great. I certainly won't be disappointed if it isn't.

A PL2 job or a assistant in the Championship. You could argue it either way.

Ultimately Liam is prepared to play the long game to get his career going. I'd rather learn from Potter than Rooney if I was in his position.

If we made a play for him, we could get him.

Great shout. Would love to see Liam come back to the club.

Don’t know why we let him go to be honest.

Are you seriously suggesting that he'd choose to leave the best English player in the last 50 years to "learn from" Potter? That's ridiculous, he'd be far better off sticking with Wayne Rooney and I have absolutely no doubt at all that Liam Rosenior will not be our next U23 manager.

A) You could call it jobs for the boys, or you could call it a bootroom culture

B) we blatantly have ex players on the payroll. Bruno for one

A) Call it what you ****ing like.....nepotism would probably be the word I'd use.

B) Didn't say that we didn't. In fact I said it's great if we can go down that route. The point I was making it should be whoever is best qualified for the role not just someone who once played for the club.

He left his job as assistant U23's coach here to take up a first team coach job at Derby, he's now assistant manager there. No way would he be interested in returning to U23's football even if it was a head coach/manager. The lure of first team football management/coaching beats PL2 every day, that's why we are losing our head coach to a non league side.

 

[DynamoKid]

Must be someone inside to takeover short term who could get the job long term? Who would make that decision? Anyone know wat happens? Potter would need to be involved ? as it feeds first team squad?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Well l can kind of understand it from their point of view, a namby pamby southerner, who they know nothing about.

One things for certain, he won't find it easy managing a no nonsense bunch of adult footballers in the Conference. I do wish him well though, he deserves his chance.

Indeed.


I had the same reaction when Paul Clement was linked with our managerial vacancy - when all he had done at that point was rearrange the cones at Real Madrid !

He doesn't need to learn about being a player though does he?

Can you point to the managerial & coaching experience Rooney is supposed to draw upon to help develop Liam Rosenior as a coach?

If you wanted to learn how to run a supermarket, would you prefer to learn from the manager at your local Sainsbury who has run 3 supermarkets of different sizes, or go and work with the bloke who's been in his first managers job at Morrison's for a few weeks just because he used to be the fastest shelf stacker for Waitrose?

I'm not saying he should, or will come by the way - I just think your logic is weird

Well quite.
