Ledley's the first team defensive coach, isn't he? If so, hasn't exactly covered himself in glory, either.
Plus perhaps it's about badges.
I don't think he was specifically working on defence

Interesting that Ryan has been preferred to King. Yeah he's one of our own and a thoroughly decent bloke, but ... hasn't exactly covered himself in glory with the youth teams, has he.
It keeps getting stated that he is/was our defensive coach. He is not the defensive coach. He was brought in to learn about all areas and doesn't have a particular area like the other coaches.Ledley's the first team defensive coach, isn't he? If so, hasn't exactly covered himself in glory, either.

Main objective is to win games. So the big question is, can he do that. Not the same I know, but he hasn't managed too well with the young'uns.Outgoing personality, has some sympathy from general public, some media profile already.
This isn't a long term appointment, this is get someone in who is separate from the negativity, and who can bring a smile to the place until the permanent transfer.
I'm quite excited about Derp A 29 year old manager! Not quite our youngest ever (John Cameron was 27), but hopefully good preparation for an incoming 33 year old one.
It'll be interesting dynamics. He's obviously Kane's best mate, which will help in the dressing room. But then Lloris say was already an experienced first teamer when Mason broke through from the academy.
I hope King and Powell feature quite prominently by his side to help with the authority thing.
Has a new coach ever come in and won a trophy in their first game!?
Jumping the gun a bit GB - he's only down as taking charge of training today in the club statement

Hopefully it's just paperwork to tidy up this afternoon. I'd rather this to bring the fans back on side, than a more experienced potential caretaker who will bring politics and expectations (Benitez etc.).
What's your opinion on Wilder, seeing as you've been watching him for the past 16 months?Hopefully it's just paperwork to tidy up this afternoon. I'd rather this to bring the fans back on side, than a more experienced potential caretaker who will bring politics and expectations (Benitez etc.).
