Matt Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Brian Kidd isn't the coach along with Keane as everyone thought instead "Leicester City's Tony Loughlan joins Keane at the club, in the roll of head coach." safc.com Also in the full thread about Roy Keane: http://www.foxestalk.co.uk/forums/index.ph...mp;#entry385021
Tommeh Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Very bad news, although I can see why he went better position for him at Sunderland as head coach as opposed to youth team coach. Good Luck
Matt Posted 28 August 2006 Author Posted 28 August 2006 It is bad news he has helped a few players come through the ranks (Fairly good players too) but I can't blame him for taking promotion.

Tommeh Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 I'm sure he deserves most of the credit for Stearman, porter and O'Grady coming through the ranks and into RK's plan's
newms Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 well he must have been doing something right to take such a step as that. Promoted from a youth team coach to assistant manager at a club of a similar size. Makes you wonder why we didnt promote him. Hopefully we received enough compensation so that he can be replaced with someone of an equal standard.

Matt Posted 28 August 2006 Author Posted 28 August 2006 Tut ... Your not a true supporter!! Tony Loughlan JUDAS WTF are you on about? Academy Coach which i'm sure is rewarding or Head Coach? Hmmmmmmmm hard decision to make ah? How is he a judas? Did he come out and make silly comments about how he is trying so hard for the club or he is going nowhere? No. When players come out make silly comments or at the end of the season saying "Yeah i'm going nowhere" then turn there back that when there a Judas in my eyes.

Even has fights with the opposing teams manager for added entertainment!
newms Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Because Mike Stowell is doing an adequate job thank-you very much! Even has fights with the opposing teams manager for added entertainment! I wasnt referring to Stowell i think hes a great assistant aswell more thinking of the guy we brought in from Bury (Ian Atkins?) to be first team coach. Maybe we could have appointed from in house

Maybe we could have appointed from in house But why fix something thats not broke? Tony Loughland obviously knew the Academy set up and he knew it well, recently a few decent youths have come through the ransk and as said earlier in the thread i'm sure this is partly down to Loughlan, He was already there doing a good job in the academy so we got a new coach in.

My suggestion is if he is that good then he should be rewarded by promotion. We have ended up losing him now to one of our rivals and that is never good
davieG Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 I think you may be misjudging his status at the LCFC Youth Academy Team which consists of, in order of seniority or at least as in the programme Jon Rudkin, Steve Beaglehole, Trevor Peake, Tony Loughlin plus 7 others. So probably 4 in line and certainly behind Jon Rudkin & Steve Beaglehole.

Its swings and roundabouts, If we promoted him ourselves we may have still lost him and then we'd have replaced the academy coach AND needed to replace a first team coach, if we left him where he was we have still lost him.
lookwhaticando Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 I wonder if our own club was planning on telling us one of our Coaches had left? True he's 'only' from the Academy, but it's still a fairly significant personnel change, as the academy is supposedly of high importance to the club and it's future.

Anybody listening, he wasn't that much of a bigwig anyway.
lookwhaticando Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Anybody listening, he wasn't that much of a bigwig anyway. I had no idea our Academy had more coaches than the rest of the club itself. If we have 'at least 7 others' as well as Rudkin, Beaglehole and that other fella, we probably won't bother replacing him. Surely we can survive with 10 or more coaches. Just shows you how little I know about the Academy (and how little our club website tells us about the Academy)
Head Honcho Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 I think he's known Roy Keane for a while and Keano obviously wanted him. Not sure but think he may have been at Forest with Keano! Good Luck to him.............. ...............except of course when they play us.
Jonbluefox9 Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Rudkin, Beaglehole and Peake are better known but I don't think that makes the latter two any more or less important than this Loughlan bloke. Anyone involved with the academy has helped the young lads at some stage of their development. Just because the coaches involved with the under 18 stage of development get more mentions in the media than those that work with younger age groups doesn't make their work any more important. Today's under 16s well be next year's scholars for example.
Master Fox Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Can someone please reassure me this guy was fooking useless anyway? Roy Keane more like Mr Bean as a manager. LCFC on the up. Rob Kelly = Legend
lookwhaticando Posted 28 August 2006 Posted 28 August 2006 Finally, Some Official Information from the Club!
lildave3 Posted 29 August 2006 Posted 29 August 2006 On the subject of academy, anyone know how long it will be beofre the likes of Chambers & Gradel will be in and around the first team?
