shame it's 'alongside' Beaglehole and not 'instead of'.

Too much change around the club. Not going to end well.

There are issues with our youth system and it's clear to see. They play crap football and they're getting crap results. We aren't bringing nearly enough players through and it's not just us, it's most of this country, although we're clearly one of the worst in the league.

No Heavy Petty.

This is just a new coach to help Beaglehole. Good appointment.

Aston villa's hardly an inspiring place to be recruiting from, but we'll see.
