Andrew Sparkes is the Goalkeeping Coach at QPR (and was under MC), there have been rumours that Stephan wants to bring in his own man, so Sparkes might be following Cifuentes & Calm out of Loftus Road.

We also need an Analyst - we haven't had one since Cooper left. Perhaps, Sam Tuohy might be in line, he was Head of Analysis under MC, but moved to Chelsea in an Academy role a year ago (probably more money, but not a career move)?

Probably no further additions until the squad fly back from Austria. But you're right, we definitely need a Goalkeeping Coach and an Analyst, at least.

There are all sorts of analysts - Sadler etc are coach-analysts. We'll probably promote from within but hiring a new recruit would be best. Often the analysts that are out on the grass are rally bright and go on to be good managers themselves à la Rohl.

Looks like the club are gonna persist with the under 23’s/18’s staff helping the 1st team. 
 

No news on a new GK coach, fitness, physio or analysts etc.

More potential evidence we are going to plead poverty as a defence for our PSR breach.

Matt Reeves and Gary Silk don't count?

They were here when Enzo was here, we lost Enzo’s fitness coach and didn’t replace Rennie either.

James Haycock is head physio, brought in from Palace last summer - we have had a few different ones since Rennie left

 

I don't think we necessarily need to add more fitness coaches just because Enzo brought one in with him as well - we have 3 currently and also the sports science lads

 

The only thing I would want us to get is a goalkeeping coach, but I wouldn't be surprised if Begovic is involved in that

 

It isn't necessarily a bad thing promoting staff from the youth teams if they are good enough

Set Piece Coach, Andrew Hughes, has left to join the Scotland Coaching team. I wonder whether he'll be any more successful with them, than he was with us!

The Sky report says a replacement Coach will be appointed.

According to the report you have linked, he hasn't left. There is a quote from Steve Clarke in there that says we're allowing him to work with Scotland during international breaks.

Just as we score two set pieces he moves on - you can’t make it up !

How do you know he's had anything to do with this 'new' approach - something we didn't seem to be doing last year and now he's suddenly off..

He's not left, the article makes that crystal clear, where have you got "the report says a new coach will be appointed from" @bald reynardlol

OK, fair cop, so I got all that info from the Foxes of Leicester site, but I didn't want to post all their junk about Okocha. I must admit, I didn't read the linked Sky article. I'll try harder next time!

They say it takes a village to raise a child.

 

Maybe we just need a load more support staff, as we do look bloody lean.

Woohoo a consultant analyst - some one who we consult to analyse how bad we are!

 

Surely a defence coach or an attacking coach or a sport psychologist or a hypnotist to trick our players into thinking they want to be here would be more beneficial
