coaching/management structure

paulbaconsarnie

at the start of the season we had a 3-man management team of dowie, reid and robson.
now (i think) we have 5, pardew, parkinson, robson, kinsella, chapple.
if/when we go down, seeing as we have paid curbs up for this season along with compensation for dowie, reid? harbin?, finances will surely mean 2 of those will have to go.
my money would be on gritt going and robson taking the academy, but kinsella is a new appointment and both parkinson and chapple were appointed since pardew has been here.

I think it was reported that Phil Parkinson had signed a short term contract to the end of the season.

and chapelle's come in as a scout or head scout

pards - the man
parky - he's assistant
robson - first team coach
kinsella - reserve coach

whats prob with that??

paulbaconsarnie

didn't realise chapple come in as a scout, (who did he replace if anyone). i thought he came as a defensive coach.
i've got no problem with that, just don't want a case of 'too many cooks', not saying that will happen.

Please refer to Phil Chapple as bambi because thats how i fondly remember him.
