New Assistant Manager

[RedKnight]

How can people not have heard of Sean O'Driscoll? This makes me feel like I work for the Lower League paper. Me head's kettled 'ere.

[Dr Nowt]

Born in Wolverhampton. Played for the Republic Of Ireland.

 

A false number eire.

 

Ian Eire.

Fucking hell the arm waving!

 

'talk to the hand, sista, I ain't listening to your shit sista'

[Strontium]

Sounds like he should be coaching rugby, not football

 

Maybe our plan next season is to field 15 players. Cunning.

[gkmacca]

He's so much like Rodgers in philosophy it reminds me of that scene in the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup when the mirror smashes and Groucho and Harpo stare at each other as if they're each other's reflection.  

[Dr Nowt]

Doesn't like eye contact, does he.

 

Him and Brendan will have a Ted and Ralph vibe going on if he tries any of that personal space encroachment or face touching shit on him.

[Nightcat]

As expected. Another cheap appointment by the Hedge Fund gang. An inexpensive assistant YESman

Can't be doing with that attempted comb-over. Somebody get the man a number two, for fuck's sake.

[Dr Nowt]

Agreed, Gio. Nowt worse than people pretending to be something they're not, eh.

[Jairzinho]

Can't be doing with that attempted comb-over. Somebody get the man a number two, for fuck's sake.

 

The minute he signs that contract with us he'll be making an appointment with the advanced hair studio.

[VERBAL DIARRHEA]

His methods have translated from Willenhall to Brentford.

[therevivalist]

He could be a fantastic coach but it just smacks more of hiring a yes man than anything else. 

What has he achieved this guy; please enlighten me. 

[Michael]

And that will be our next Assistant Manager. Fans all of the clubs he has been hate him.

Good article which gives an insight in to his philosophy and coaching methods.

[Hades]

Hes bringing in coaches who like to press high and play expansive football.

 

at least we can see a plan to return to the football of 13/14 now can they implement it?

 

He's bringing in someone who won't challenge him for the manager's spot, not the best man for the job.

Many coaches play high and expansive football, but that doesn't make good coaches or good enough for a club size of Liverpool, does it?

O'Driscoll might be one of those who is very good at the actual coaching and assisting aspects rather than the managing, team picking and squad building aspects. I don't really know. If he's shit at both then people will justifiably raise questions and accusations about Rodgers picking another one of his mates rather than what is really required.

 

What I do know is that we've forfeited an opportunity to bring in somebody who has proven experience at the level we supposedly want to be at.

Yeah we also forfeited the opportunity to appoint a proper Manager in the first place. And that will come to bite us in the arse.

[mattyq]

Somewhat bemused and very concerned about this appointment

It's not going to end well

[moof]

I'm pleased in the sense that he's picked by Rodgers. I wouldn't want him butting heads with an fsg guy as it would take attention away from the team.

 

Was hoping for someone with top level experience so pretty disappointed on that count but let's just hope o'driscoll is as good a coach as Brendan seems to think he is.

[aRdja]

From his Wiki, on his last stint in management (for Bristol City):

 

"The start of the 2013 season saw the club at the bottom of the division with 6 points from 6 draws, no wins and 5 losses. Bristol City parted company with O'Driscoll on 28 November."

I'm going to bum a doncaster rovers shirt outside Anfield in protest.
