Ric Flair Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 According to another board, Brian Kidd might well be appointed as Rob Kelly's assistant until the end of the season. Does make sense. The board have said that Kelly is an option with an experienced coach. Brian Kidd has also come out in the media this week saying he's ready to get back involved in football. Kelly has also worked with Kidd before i'm sure of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
breadandcheese Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Brian Kidd was always a very good coach. Obviously, not all coaches can be managers and he is a perfect example of this, better suited to working with and improving players rather than the day-to-day management side. If he was to join our backroom staff, I think it would be a good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are talking about a guy who did a great job at Man Utd, worked with the one of the most successful (and annoying) managers in history and got himself a Premiership managers job on the back of it. Just because he didn't succeed there doesn't detract from his excellent coaching record. Let's not forget the Leeds and England roles too. Get him in! Would be a real coup.

Ricey Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Ooo interesting idea, I like the sound of it but after the Newell fiasco I think I'll wait until there is something concrete before I get excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teblin Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 I like the sound of this, the players seem to like playing under Kelly. As rab said if its not broken don't fix it. But i bit of help would be good, and Kidd is a fantastic coach! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babylon Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 He was only for 11 months though. Well he was still there, so it is possible they worked together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What with the club only having 2 recognised first team coaches at present (Kelly and Stowell). They didn't mention bringing in someone with a successfull managerial career alongside Kelly did they?

newms Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 I know its posted earlier but i've heard a very convincing rumour that Kidd coming in as a coach is now the boards preferred option. I think this will be great for the club and fantastic news for the fans. Kidds legendary likes to get teams passing the ball and his knowledge will launch us up the league. I only hope he stays longer than the rest of the season if it happens.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maybes Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 If this is true i agree with you that it is brilliant news for the club. Install Rob Kelly as manager with Brian Kidd and Mike Stowel as his assistant. He would bring vast knowledge and coaching skills to our club.

newms Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 got nothing to do with my dad's sister's lesbian partners cousin. It was off a betting site on the net. Someone who worked for an internet bookmaker. Make of that what you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do think IF it actually happens it would be a really good appointment. Assuming he's has recovered sufficiently from his illness (working in a hospital I get to see many cases like his, some good but some seem to have lost a lot of their spirit.)

steve_wilson101 Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Very exciting. There aren't too many more managers to approach and I'm warming to Kelly (although the next two games will be key) Kidd had a great record as a coach and if we can get four points from the next two games I'd be delighted to have him and Rob installed permanently.

Len Finsbury Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 Although, for the blood pressure, it's not a good idea to get excited about these things until they actually materialise, I wouldn't mind seeing this happening. If current form in the manager search continues, we'll have asked EVERYONE. Brian Kidd did an excellent job at Man Ure - even Fergie said he'd miss his input when he left for Blackburn.

Little Nicky Posted 10 February 2006 Share Posted 10 February 2006 When I suggested this as a viable option it was "moderated" to the suggestiong for a new manger thread! I have emailed Tim Davies and asked him what he thought about bring in Brain to work alongside Rob, he said he agreed Rob was doign a good job and noted my opinions!
