    Could be Ange then, he doesn't seem to bother who his coaches are.

    Plus when you think of it Ange never really had any links with anyone in the UK and probably never knew anyone since he never played here or anything so he'd hardly know anyone.

    Managers or ex players from the UK etc know everybody really or people that know everybody and will have heard about people for years, where Ange was 54 or something when he moved here and wouldn't have had a clue.

    Probably why he even took that ex Hibs manager as his assistant at Hibs since he's one of few people he'd known and before that Chris Davies who Kennedy or that might have put him in touch with.

    Just doing what we always do. Appoint our own backroom team and then tell new manager thats ur team like it or lump it.

    Weird way to do business

    Could be what managers prefer though.

    The olden days it seems managers had a staff and went through near enough their whole careers with the same guys. But nowadays teams swap about coaches and assistants * nilly and guys come and go all the time.

    We have needed a freshen up for a while probably.

    Yeah I'm not against the freshening up of coaching staff and this guy seems a very good, up and coming coach but would prefer if new manager at least had some say in it but we are where we are
