Nothing we didn't already know there to be honest.

Sounds good, all these extra staff and the training ground, won't be coming cheap though. With the training ground as well and covid, the accounts are not going to look good. Atleast our debts have been cleared though. Hopefully more signs that we have a project coming along, that will help to find it all long term.

Yeah it all sounds great. Only issue is if we go into next season with this seasons form it will all be for nowt as Ben will swiftly be out of a job. I'm cautiously optimistic about next season. Only 6 weeks away so hopefully that gives all the new players time to gel and Ben to sort his best team.

I think that’s the point though, that it wouldn’t all be for nowt because the manager who replaces Ben would still have the benefit of the analysts, nutritionists, recruitment department etc. that’s all been added to the club. These are foundations that will long outlast Ben’s time at Rovers. The whole idea is to make the infrastructure at the club so strong that the identity of the manager is no longer the be-all and end-all to our success on the pitch.

Seeing as the head and assistant coaches have never professionally kicked a ball, I think it imperative to bring in an experienced defensive coach. Having Graham Coughlan (500+ apps) and Steve Yates (500+ apps) concentrating on the defenders resulted in a noticeable improvement in the performance of the defence, as opposed to the times we have operated without a recognised coach in that area.

Perhaps we will if Maher ever gets the Southend job? If not, then can we really afford another full time coach if we are trying to cut costs?

Probably as much as a coach.

Re the article, not sure how much difference all the additions being recruited can make if the players aren't being drilled effectively.

Bit early to be talking about the legacy he wants to leave behind when he's gone, well at least he's honest and Frosty won't have to go far to write his departure story.

Well, no-one can say he's not been backed to the hilt! It's not so very long ago that GC, with the club in the play-offs and a win at Ipswich under his belt, was complaining about the lack of this, that and the other and wondering how much further he could take us. It transpired that a dead-end sh** hole club like Mansfield offered a better prospectus and that, with the added benefit of being able to walk the dog every evening was enough to make Coughlin jump ship.
I have to wonder what Wael was offering Coughlin to stay. Perhaps he didn't offer much because he wanted Coughlin out and had BG lined up to take over. Perhaps easing GC out on the old 'Lack of ambition' excuse was a way of avoiding paying him compo with the added bonus of getting compo from Mansfield.
I wonder if Wael is that devious and clever?
I rather hope he is.

But now the shackles are off.... Genuinely excited for this season

Long Term Garner is talking about getting rid of the players he has inherited, who just might "question" some of his ideas / tactics,. He wants a yes Garner team. not a "Will that work?" team. Anyway, if we are in the bottom 4 at Christmas he will be gone, and the cycle will begin again.
