So she worked for the premier league in a coaching development role.

Is that okay for you?

I guess they wouldn't count working with the British Olympic team as "this level" though

FOOTBALL | Former Hereford FC manager Josh Gowling has taken a new job in football

. Former Hereford manager Josh Gowling has a new job after leaving former club Darlington just after Christmas. He posted on social media saying he’s the new under-18s lead coach for Championship side Coventry City. The start of another pre-season under my belt, but in a slightly different role...

Apparently we have appointed Josh Gowling as U18s coach. He was most recently manager at Hereford FC in National League North, and i have it on good authority that he was seen there as "a disaster" and "absolutely hopeless".
Ms Roberts (whoever she is) have a hand in that too, did she?

He got them to a cup final and was there for 3 years so 'absolutely hopeless' seems a bit over the top.

He actually took over the job from the mighty Russell Slade.

He's managing the U18's ffs, he's not Robins replacement.

Results on the pitch,will decide wether or not we have chosen the right coaching team or not for me.

Who said he was?

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

Well there are two instead of one which is a bonus.

Not yet, Viveash and Lawrence have left, Boateng and Carr have come in.

Too early to say if these coaching changes will work out, but we took a step back last season in terms of points secured and position in the standings after several consecutive seasons of being on an upward trajectory. Also, the way we ended last season throwing points away due to fatigue has likely prompted the appointment of Dr. Roberts in order to seek a new way of approaching things in terms of preparation for matches and this has now extended to these coaching hires as well.

Send a FOI to the club & I'm sure HR will help.

Maybe it will reveal she was a superstar at a megapower like Worcester City.

Who knocked us out of the cup if I remember correctly.

 

[djr8369]

Can YOU tell me her pedigree/track record at this level?? I'd be suspicious of anyone of any gender if they just got parachuted into such a key role.

In what way was she parachuted in rather than just hired? Implication here is she circumvented the hiring process and doesn’t have relevant experience.

It was more of a nod to Dave Boddy... but he's okay as he is a bloke.

So i went and found out more about her background. Is that okay for you? Maybe i should have done that before making a poorly-worded comment that now has me branded as a sexist pig.
