League One Backroom Staff

[Napster]

Someone posted that we have a big backroom staff so I thought I would contrast and compare. Ive removed physios/doctors and youth/academy coaches, masseurs and kit managers for clarification.

Basically, yeah we could do with more backroom staff.

That assumes that number of backroom staff = success. Who said that a bigger backroom staff ensures success? I'd rather have one Graham Coughlan than 10 Dick Bates.

 

[Leoblue]

Yes that was me..... Thanks, it seems you're right and I'm very wrong. Maybe it's with the sports scientist, diet guys, youth coaches eg eg where I thought we had a lot.

To be fair I took those out as some clubs have loads of youth coaches.

No-one did, just thought I'd put some names and facts to the equations.

Really? Just shows you how wrong you can be..

[Bearded Shrimper]

so we're far from the biggest.

doesn't it make you wish for the day of coaches and scouts though, rather than Heads Of Football Operations and the like?
