"These might just be...the best training facilities...IN THE WORLD!"

Picture Clarkson, Hammond and May taking the interim job instead of Smith, Shakey and Terry 😄

 

"We've got no coaching experience, only 8 matches to save our team from relegation, and James May has already gotten himself lost on the golf course. How hard can it be?"

It is the aim for us to become a genuine elite club, so Seagrave is part of that ambition as well as the stadium expansion; still, you can’t help but feel maybe some of the players have relaxed too much since we moved to the new facilities. Hopefully we can start to now build a better mentality in the team and move forward again rather than backward. 

I think the clear-out of players will help, on top of a new Manager and coaching team. I think Rodgers and his squad have treated Seagrave as more of a Spa day, than a gruelling training facility, which despite all the state of the art stuff, still has to be a place you are happy to leave at the end of each day!

This guy needs time. More so than any other Manager we have had in recent years. There are definitely a couple of red flags in terms of his appointment, lack of experience and an established coaching team around him. He has also never managed in the gruelling Championship or anywhere for more than 14 games. 

 

However, there is a reason that many teams wanted to appoint him, and so there must be a common feeling amongst clubs that he has the potential to be a very good Manager. 

 

We are also in need of a complete reset, from top to bottom. He gives us that opportunity and provides us with a completely fresh start. He could get off to an awful start, but we will have to hold firm and give him every opportunity to get his message across and put his stamp on the team. 

 

One thing is for sure, this is exactly the kind of exciting appointment we needed.

Have we ever had a more dapper coach?

Love how he always let Rudkin and Top through each door first.

From a psychological point of view, I found that fascinating. He's being shown around, and yet it feels like he's guiding them? More of that across the board (if you'll excuse the pun) please.

 

There's a low level "this is my space now" vibe. And I like it.

He's getting ready for his weekly 'Off you **** now' endings to meetings with Rudkin

The meeting with JJ was superb. You can just tell the man demands high standards; "Full Energy" .. Exactly what we need and hopefully a sweeping tornado of fresh air through the club!

Genuinely liked that Maresca seemed to say about being mentally ready as well as physically ready. I hope the players left at the club have a renewed confidence with the new appt, and feel reinvigorated for now about it.

Ranieri could pull off a class Italian suit, can't get more dapper than that

Nope I won’t have that after seeing his jeans when we played Macclesfield at home. Looked like a recently divorced dad off to watch the six nations
