Cannot believe all the negative posts with no real evidence that they are bad appointments, lets see what next season brings and try and look on the bright side of life!5

I'm pretty sure if you put the stats of our recent appointments through the black box, the computer would say no.

one of the requirements of a Cat1 academy is we need to have more coaching staff. They aren’t all going to be superstars….
Danny Senda, Hamza Serrar, Anthony Hayes - would anyone have got excited at those names? They are all doing a fantastic job at the club
Let’s give the guy a chance and see how it pans out before lambasting him21 -

Isn’t that a requirement for the academy teams? Not sure first team roles are relevant? Perhaps they are and why they put development in his title…Swisdom said:Posting without reading.

Lennie Lawrence toosirjohnhumphrey said:We are a league one club. As far as I can see we will attract people who are at clubs at a similar level or those who are in junior roles at clubs higher up the pyramid.
The second group of people will come with little experience and have to learn on the job which isn’t something we can necessarily afford.
The criticism of the Dangerfield appointment is bizarre. He has an operational role that he has done before.This De Souza appointment is more worthy of discussion and interrogation. I’m interested in the role he will play and whether this is a position other clubs have within their set up. Until that’s clear and we have had time to see the impact he has then I will reserve judgment.Steve Avory was a PE teacher. Anthony Hayes a business graduate. Both have made a positive contribution to the club.
Also of interest to me is that both these appointments have previous connections with Brentford, a club Sandgaard had publicly championed as a model of how a club should be run.0 -
My scepticism, its not criticism, is that this is the latest in a number of people we have employed in the last 18 months to do different, even slightly, jobs to what they have done before.
It's a long list and actually includes half a dozen players as well.0 -

Got a mate who's quite heavily involved at CUFC and has nothing but bad things to say about him. Says he's been instrumental in their recent decline and they are glad to see the back of him.
Apparently he also has a propensity to stick rigidly to a formation that doesn't work. He'll fit in nicely then.

I don't think it's unreasonable to be a bit sceptical at the moment, when you look at the hit rate for external appointments since Thomas took over
Off the field, the likes of Roddy and Mumford (has he contributed much yet, I don't know), plus his son Martin
In terms of coaching roles,
Adkins - sacked after a few months
The GK coach Shimell - MacGillivray has hardly been a shining success, is he being coached well?
Skiverton - we've not obviously improved since he arrived1 -
As previously stated, Skiverton was JJ's choice as they did their coaching badges together.killerandflash said:I don't think it's unreasonable to be a bit sceptical at the moment, when you look at the hit rate for external appointments since Thomas took over

Tommy said at the recent fans forum this role would be taken by someone with experience at higher levels…
That doesn’t read like this guy so I wonder if the original choice pulled out and De Souza was plan B?0 -
^^ this. Good we snapped him up quickly though after he departed Colchester ...0
