Tony Walmsley's Yellow Army!

Really interesting to read this topic from the beginning!!
I'm sad Tony didn't make it and sad that MC hamstrung him so badly last season but that GG game was hard to ignore.
All the best Tony, you are a top bloke and you are always welcome at East Gosford Thai Massage for a cup of Ginger Tea or a massage.

Being such a good bloke was A big part of his downfall in the end. Unfortunately all too happy to give the players a cuddle when things are going wrong, and not giving them a bollocking when it was needed/deserved.
Good at youth level but need to have the balls to rip in when needed.
Club has learned from this though and won't be hiring another 'yes man' to fill the role.

We hope so.
MC likes yes men.....read between the lines of his latest spoutings.

Seems a really good guy, and pretty resilient. I think there's maybe more to come from him in football, just maybe not as a head coach.

Youth football or as an assistant is his go I think. But you never know could learn from this and come back a much better coach.

I hope he does, I liked him (still do like him).

When was the last time a coach punted like that showed such grace and class to even compliment the squad he left behind and his successor?

 

[Forum Phoenix]

Classy guy. Always liked him.

I think he needed a hard arsed assistant coach like Lawrie had with Ferguson.

He was a brilliant front man. Hugely likeable and impeccable in front of the camera. It was the nitty gritty stuff he failed at.

He filled a position for MC that he wasn't suited to for the sake of the club so they could get themselves into more desirable financial position. Agree he seemed like a good bloke and the article backs this up but I can not see him being successful as a head coach in the future and nor should he have those desires. Probably best suited to the administrator role he initially had and should have stayed in.

Not entirely his fault but was way out of his depth and this provided ample ammunition to Fox Sports last year. Good luck to him in his future endeavours and I'm sure he can add something to football in the right areas.

You can already see Okon is providing credibility to CCM in the way people view us this year. I would have given up this year and maybe for good if TW was still in charge.
