Cool, although I loved him as a Player ..perhaps we can get in somebody now to sort our defence.

good luck deano, it'll be a tough job but it's a good opportunity. Hopefully we can get in a decent defence-minded coach in his place

Spinner come back!!

Good luck Deano.

Justin Edinburgh would be ideal. Ex Southend with loads of experience and the onr thing he does know is how to organise a defence, as proved as Grays.

 

[Jay_Shrimper]

Well done deano. Well played!

Lets get someone in who can sort out our defensive problems!

Do you mean in their role as reserve team coach or chief scout?

I hope Watford recover with his assistance, as he could be a very useful contact at a local(ish) club in a higher division.

Good shout that, Austin's been great on the scouting front, hopefully we've now got some leads established but we really do need someone else to come in and solve our defensive issues. Wonder if he'll target any of our loanees?

 

[Uncle Leo]

Tough one. My natural instinct is to wish him well as he has been a great servant to SUFC.

But I really don't like ****ford.

Hopefully he will enhance his reputation by sorting their defence out, but their attack will continue to be mince and they will go down on the back of loads of 0-0 draws.

Sawyer to Watford...? :)

Good luck to Deano though, thats a good move for him.

It wouldn't be that surprising, not so much because of the Austin link but because their new manager was Chelsea reserve team boss.

Before that he was at Reading, not sure at what age Federici and Robson-Kanu joined, but he was bound to have contacts there.

Yea, I was thinking of the Chelsea connection and putting 2+2 together.

Ahhhh bugger :(

Good luck Deano

 

[BoyWonder2]

Best of luck Deano.

Like someone else has mentioned, its nice to have some form of link with another Club in a higher division.

Be interesting to see who Tilly brings in as Deano was doing the reserves, helping coach the first team, and doing some scouting as well.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Wonder if the reserves might be something Furlong becomes more involved with now, it's been mentioned already while austin was still with us that it was a possibility.

Wouldn't be too surprised at that at all really.

 

[Welly7]

I remember that Deano spoke of his ambition to go as far as he can within the coaching side of the game when he joined Tilly's staff. Good luck to him, it's a great opportunity.

 

[Andyhsufc]

Good luck to him. I will be intriuged to see who Tilly decides to replace him with.

 

[DTS]

Think he also comes from that way. He could be brilliant or useless of all I know but loved him as a player so good luck to him.

Be handy to have someone who knows the club as a number two somewhere else as if Tilly ever moves on we have a potential ready made replacement.

Be interesting to see who we get now.
