BP1960 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Out of interest, and it is not the be all and end all, but do you happen know what Coaching qualifications Dean has? UEFA A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bozman Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 UEFA A. He was doing the same course as LJ - apparently that's how they met and became friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewBlue Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) He's certainly not the best talker judging from that interview but he comes across as very passionate and driven. Shades of Tim Sherwood in that - hopefully he doesn't don a gilet though. Until they've managed a few games you can't grade their managerial skills so hopefully everybody will reserve criticism for the time-being. Good luck to him and Locky.

BP1960 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) I'm warming to Deano; "In my career, I wasn't the best player but someone once called me 'Ronseal' because I did exactly what it said on the tin. I knew that I was going to go out there and give it everything and work harder than my opponent". "The fans will get behind the team as they always do and hopefully they will see the players running through brick walls for the shirt".

Latics_Fanatic Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Very good interview on LP. Speaks about having the passion, desire, wanting to "run through brick walls" for the team. Getting the performance right is the major point. Also speaks about focusing on our own game and nothing else. Think we're in safe hands for the time being...

Guest Stanley30 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I want a good young English coach, who is is hungry and who's doing his uefa a badge. Sounds like we have our guy. Don't want another experienced failed manager, let's get a young upcoming guy who will improve with the team. I'm right behind you Deano!

Lee Sinnott Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 I like Dean Holden. He once had an altercation with R.O.A.M at Hull a few years ago after a defeat... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Went downhill for Deano after that Hull game, never the same with the fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I want a good young English coach, who is is hungry and who's doing his uefa a badge. If only we'd been a bit quicker off the mark we could have had that Lee Johnson fella who's just taken over at Barnsley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceStationLatic Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 I just got round to watching his press video. Interestingly encouraged. Particular his comments and thoughts on the mental aspect, clearly this team's Achilles heel!! He simplified issues very well (ie what's in control, out of control) and shifted the subject to a clear, motivational outcome (so we do this,..you do that). We all know footballers aren't the brightest - you don't need a degree to kick a ball. But even the cleverest folk don't achieve their potential sometimes due to struggles with mental attitude and focus - this is particularly the case with a lot of talented kids at clubs who earn money and get treated like royalty before they've 'made it', and then don't fulfil their potential. I'll be interested to see how the players respond to this - I think they might; wouldn't surprise me if some didn't get that kind drive from LJ's words. But the test after that of course will be matching LJ's strengths - player recruitment and tactics. Although the referee shafted us against Doncaster, the way we managed the conditions and totally tactically outdid Donny and Dickov was very impressive. But on the other hand, LJ did now and then produce systems, subs and selections that baffled all of us / maybe the players too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
