Some pretty respectable GCSEs there. I wonder if those GCSEs make him the most academically qualified person at the club after Tom Prodomo?

The B in drama will come in handy when dealing with Ron

Maybe the French C will enable him to tell Dieng what is expected of him.

Anton Robinson is the new Head of Recruitment.

Ex-Bournemouth and Weymouth, which will come as surprise to no-one, before his playing career was cut short. Only 34 years old. @Napster will post his linkdin CV on here shortly but seems to have been on Bournemouth's recruitment team.


A 7th staff member coming soon - we still don't know who the 6th is!

That's the one! I spoke to RM the other week and he mentioned a new Head of Recruitment and referred to him simply as 'Anton' but I couldn't remember.

...or Simeon Akinola with his degree in Systems Engineering!

If he exists and isn't just a figment of our imaginations like Theo Vassell, Paddy Osadebe, Rob Kiernan, Benjamin Johansson etc

That gives me an idea for a new thread....

Mark Molesley's former coaches at Weymouth Bradley Asagba, Jamie Wells and Nick Bennett have both left Weymouth, along with player care staff Dave Popejoy.

I wonder if any of them end up at Roots Hall?

When Molesley first joined there was talk of a team of 6. So far he’s been joined by two Prodomos and Sam Hall only.

Jamie Wells has turned up at Roots Hall as first team coach but this update directly contradicts what Ron said in the meeting with protesting fans

MM has brought in 6 (soon to be 7) of his preferred sta to compliment his management style.

Here, we are told a day or two later that "Mark’s management team is now complete" and that Mark Molesley has been given the freedom to add to his management team with five new members of staff.

Is it 5, 6 or 7 staff?

Why has it taken over a month to announce this? How long did we go without a first team coach?

About 2 years? ;-)

I see the club are still advertising for a new physio as Ben Clarkson seems to be joining another club (someone on here said he's working his notice?). Thought they advertised this once before after the news broke Ben was leaving, interesting they've decided to advertise again. Perhaps not happy with any of the original applicants?

 

[in the know]

Ben's experience is the bit that will be really missed. Sees things in scans related to footy injuries that inexperienced ones just can't see ! We have senior players playing for this very reason

 

[flangejackrabbit]

I am a bit confused with staff numbers still - one minute the website mentions 5, the next a Q&A mentions 6, and that one is part-time. Is there a part-time coach we don't know about hiding somewhere?
