Zorrro Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Why wouldn't they just say that in the tweet, though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Ryan Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 What else could he be doing? Someone with experience, anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBosch Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Great news. The tweet in question took some finding. We don't even hashtag club tweets with #oafc. Truly unbelievable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorrro Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 What else could he be doing? Dunno, just seems strange that they wouldn't say something like "former assistant manager Tommy Wright is returning to the club in his previous capacity."

Didn't LJ have a spell with Chesterfield when Shez and Wright were there? Probably knows him from that, could be a coach like Muzza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was Tommy Wright sacked along with Shez or did he stay on for a while? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalajpkalala Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Was Tommy Wright sacked along with Shez or did he stay on for a while? Stayed on alongside Joe and then went to Chesterfield with Shez in the summer that we brought in Penney, Gray etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blue_Guru Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Chron says replacing Bobby Mimms...this would suggest to me that we will keep Chubs on as a number 2 keeper and coach...makes sense to offer chubs a bit more money as a player coach and then to bring Tommy in as a number 2 with Murray concentrating on the reserves and drafting in the youth...

yarddog73 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 just what was needed may prove to be the best bit of buisness the clubs done for a while, take some pressure of LJ and an experianced head around the place who he can bounce ideas off, dont really know murray in a coaching capacity but suspect wright might just add a bit more to the team.

GlossopLatic Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Is he a tracksuit coach or a suit? Cos whichever it is is the wrong one. He has a tracksuit and watches the game from the side of the pitch occasionally giving instructions occasionally standing still like 99% of assistant managers which clearly means he does nothing.
