So when they lose and develop young lads it's wrong but when they play a couple of experienced guys and win it's wrong. FT at its best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Themightyfin seems to know a fair bit about the academy so if this isn't what happened then I stand corrected but it's what I was told and was mentioned on here at the time. I believe there is some elements of truth in both sides of these version of events . Initially, he was offered a more prominent position at the Academy as his coaching ability was considered far superior to most/all other coaches and I believe that most of the current generation of U23 players who benefitted from his tutelage would probably attest to this. However, the position he was offered was not acceptable to him as it would have meant him being answerable to coaches who he had not faith or confidence in so, in essence, he felt he could not work alongside coaches who did not share his vision or style of coaching (so i am told) Only later did the position of assistant coach to Pearson at Derby become available which he duly accepted and following events at Derby, I believe he is now doing very well at Luton with their U18s team 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did 'officially' leave of his own accord.....but it was made clear that he was not wanted and would not be considered for the positions he wanted so the view of him being 'forced out' is not entirely inaccurate.

All the reports I heard were that he was a very, very good coach.

It's a shame it didn't work out for him with us (and he was subsequently seriously shafted by the owners at Derby). Good to see him doing well at Luton with their kids. He's a lovely bloke too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted 19 October 2018 Share Posted 19 October 2018 missed it. I thought it was this evening. The Spurs write up had us as the better team, especially in the first half. Did anyone get to see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairbanksh Posted 19 October 2018 Share Posted 19 October 2018 Yep. Fairly unlucky 1-0 defeat. Our high press gave us big advantage for most of game but forwards just not sharp enough. Ryan Loft particularly disappointing. Good to see Danny Simpson in opposition half and Andy King pretty classy. Midfield in control,defence a bit ponderous.

Absolute tosh , all positions were taken , so how could he be offered them ? He spoke to me many times about leaving and he could not turn down the offer from Pearson and Derby , it was hopefully a stepping stone . It didn't work . He is now at Luton and i "KNOW" would return here if a position was offered to him , he told me that . But guess what ?, there is not any free and the staff in those positions have contracts !!!!!! Why would he tell me he would return , if he was being forced out ? . " Forced out " is 100% wide of the mark , he would still be at the club if he didn't leave of his own accord , i'm quite sure of that . His tennis is at a high level now and is coaching his children in tennis too . He is good man , well thought of , STILL by academy staff . 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you can categorically tell us all that he wasn't offered the position of Beaglhole's U23 assistant before Ben Petty was appointed - which he turned down because he refused to work under him? AT which point it was made clear to him that there were no other jobs available to him unless he wished to carry on in his role coaching the U16s....which he didn't want to do....and then the opportunity to join Pearson at Derby came along There is no question that he is still well thought of by most of the Academy staff who knew him. It is the coaches at U18 & U23 level that were 'threatened' by his presence. (His 2 teenage daughters are indeed both exceptional tennis players (the youngest recently competed in a Wimbledon junior tournament!) which is largely due to his exceptional ability as a coach.....not just a good football coach) Edited 21 October 2018 by Foxy-Lady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what does U23's assistant offer got to do with being " forced " out ? No other jobs available means exactly that . Contracts signed by staff ,positions filled , its how it is ? Beaglehole is the U23's manager , so you're saying Inni wanted him " sacked " with the job then given to him ? ? ? ok !! Inni would return to the academy, so that tells me something . Steve and Trev must've been quaking in their boots with Inni's success with the u16's, plotting his demise because of his success or were they very proud of him ? Jon Rudkin and co wanted him out because hes a "threat " with his talent ? We now have to believe he was that good he was in someway ousted ? ok !!!

I'm guessing that these jobs at top clubs don't come up very often as the coaches for the academy teams tend to stick around even if the manager changes as with Beaglehole.
