Sounds like DP taking the rest of the staff he didn’t take when he went to wire.
Tbh, since 2018 (probably earlier) our fitness, injury levels and recuperation hasn’t been good. Maybe new blood is the answer.
I’m happy enough with the coaching appointments. They’ve got 2 years to earn another contract. They will also fit well with each other on the basis of Linguard knowing the head coach role and Maguire the extras needed to be at the very top of the game. They now have a couple of weeks to prepare before the November start of preseason.
They need to be backed financially by the board to get things right and with so many new players, we probably need a foreign training camp to gel them together but not 2 weeks on the piss.
I’m not sure we need Christmas and/or a new year’s day game just maybe a comprehensive preseason match schedule involving all the players. The last 2 years preseasons has been pointless.
