Any ideas how many we tested the water with an offer. Or was it a case of is so and so available and how much. Ok thanks I'm not paying that. Or did he just run out of time to complete any of the deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down-to-earth, knows the club and game as well as thinking from a different perspective. But why would you have him back as a coach? Is he an inspiring, innovative, forward-thinking, coach? I don't know, I'm asking. Where has he made the impact to convince people of his coaching skills? Nice guy, capable player, no question but we're talking about a coaches to take us forwards and, to me, the value of, and standards expected from our coaches in England are not always what they should be. Even at Leicester where there's been good and bad to be seen over the last decade, I've seen many things that should never have happened in a coaching sense.

I have been told by someone who works at Belvoir Drive, that Chris Powell was helping out in a few training sessions at the end of the season.

Wouldn't be surprised if, with the announcement of Shakey getting the Manager's job (today, if many posters on here are right), we also hear that Chris Powell is getting the Assistant's job. Possibly, even Bruno coming back as a Coach ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thracian Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Is Bruno a good coach? Is Powell a good coach? I don't know one way or another but we sure need people with energy and innovative ideas. People who make a difference and have shown they can develop players for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st albans fox Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 Chris Powell is a coach with some gravitas shakey may not be keen to have someone below him who it's felt could confidently be trusted to step into his shoes and hold the fort if results are going badly whilst a new manager is sought.

Obviously not sure if it's true. But if you don't want support from people who can challenge you and fill your position you're a shite manager and leader imo. Reeks of someone without the confidence in his own abilities and his ability to deal with others. Imagine if Pearson had thought that about Shakey or Walsh.

You are right that it's bound to cross his mind. But he cannot afford to pick a team that's not the strongest. Dealing with insecurity and perceived threats in a way that doesn't become a detriment to the team is a skill every manager has to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clever Fox Posted 5 June 2017 Share Posted 5 June 2017 I don't see Powell offering anything to us. If we're serious about continuing our upwards trend then we need to set our sights higher. The problem is most Managers will choose someone they know or have worked with before. This is where a good DIF can prove himself worthy of the title. I'd like us to bring in a top Dutch Coach. It's can't be luck that Holland have been producing a lot of very good young players for a long time. And as a nation have been punching above their weight. Belgium have followed suit and now you have a lot of good young Belgium players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxtillidrop Posted 8 June 2017 Share Posted 8 June 2017 Could we tempt Steve Walsh from Everton with the assistant manger role? Not sure whether it is a perceived as a step up or down from a director of football role. Can't see it happening but I'd love it to happen.

By all accounts he was well thought of. Would like to see him back in a similar capacity ! I agree, he would be great working with the Youth team again. He built up a very good reputation with us, that's why Derby pinched him. I didn't know he'd left the Sh**gers. Perhaps if Powell comes as Assistant Manager, he also entice Idiakez back with him.
