The age of English journeyman has arrived.

This is what's concerning me, I hope we're not going to train too hard, go too far down the "press" strategy and end up with a lot of injuries.

Euro snobbery of "its only Australia" -18th in L2? FMD what a resume that is.

Jeez everybody working hard to find the negatives on him. I am reading that he took over somebody else's team that had been put together on a budget with no depth, got them to the fringes of the play off and then had a bad run with injuries. So the jury still out as to whether he would be a good head coach

But we recruited him as an assistant not a head coach and both Mark Jackson and Carlos Coberan seem to rate him in that role. He is another one from the Bielsa years at Leeds and has got himself a sports science degree as well as any coaching tickets. Sounds like he may have the potential to be a good young coach. Welcome to the Mariners Danny and good luck in the role.

Of course it might help with the positivity if the club informed us of the appointment with a nice media release rather than us having to rely on the local rag of the team he just got stacked from and wikipedia to get his bio. I believe he has been in the country for around 3 or 4 weeks, this is not new news.

Sounds familiar so far! Would have been nice to have either a coach or an assistant that'd come from a winning environment.

Early days though...hopefully they're a success.

Usually coaches within a winning environment stay in that environment or move to a higher level than they’re at…..

Back office seems to be (kindly) a dumpster fire - 24 hours before a home game, immediately following an email campaign. Not one single member of corporate sales is at work (I assume there is more than 1) - thats a pretty basic error. Did they expect no one to take them up on it?
Hardly surprising they dont announce a coaching appointment to be fair.

Did we lose a bunch of support staff or something?

Happy to give them a chance to succeed.

But for me, unless they are massively better than or they have invested time in the club (like Monty), I would prefer for us to be providing opportunities for Australian coaches.

Bit Racist shitwreck!

In the near future we may not exclude half the population as candidates for manager.
We have female officials, Staj managed female teams, just a matter of time.

Doesn't Wiegman have a reputation for being a very good tactician? So why not, there's plenty of spud men getting repeat gigs.

I think the first female coach of a men's professional team was in the French second div about ten years ago.

I'll reserve judgement until between round 10-13.

I certainly hope that the club isn't applying its player scouting criteria to managers now (cheap, underperforming but with potential we hope to unlock)

Didn’t need him to take CCM from champions to spoon to know he wasn’t good enough at senior football

Not really - he has failed and is failing. Will he turn it around? We shall see.
