dannydguzman84 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Imagine Bunn + Harbin back at BP! Gregan as asst? Thats what we were lacking this year a john harbin, maybe the best fitness coach we have had, if john were here i dont think we would have had so many injuries because a few people have seen the players train and said they dont warm down, with john they went swimming, boxing and running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeylandLatic Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Thats what we were lacking this year a john harbin, maybe the best fitness coach we have had, if john were here i dont think we would have had so many injuries because a few people have seen the players train and said they dont warm down, with john they went swimming, boxing and running Not a chance they don't warm up before training. In Dowie's play off season we had loads of injuries that were more than likely down to the training being too intense. Still, Harbin had us the fittest team in the League by far and it won us so many points on the road despite the injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Harbin is currently not at Coventry. Haven't a clue where he is. I would think next year that we will basically have a manager, and a number two. If they can fulfil any other roles within the same wage (eg, Harbin could fulfil the role of no2 and fitness coach, crossley if appointed, could fulfill the role of manager and GK coach, on the same wage) then fair enough. But I can't see us paying for a separate goalkeeping coach or fitness coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 Its short sighted not having fitness as a top priority, good routines for pro footballers is an essential part of making good young uns assets to sell on. The game has moved on so much in fitness and yet cutting back on costs re fitness backfires on injuries loan fees etc etc etc. A stable side is ultimately what did for DP (other than tactical ineptitude) and anyone would have to say a fair amount of odd long term injuries despite our physios hard graft. Wonder if a value can actually be put on injuries? within a budget. Especially after last season!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many loans have we had this season not including the season long loans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 We paid a pretty penny to Killen, Appleby and many others to sit in the treatment room in the Dowie-Harbin era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lookers_Carl Posted May 31, 2010 Author Share Posted May 31, 2010 I’ve just heard the new manager is Frankie Bunn!!!!!! I don’t know when they’re going to announce it but I believe it was sorted out this weekend http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-fea...atics-job-talks I would recheck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticMark Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 thats 2 managers who have signed now, we must be favorites to go up now. So there we have it - We're getting a management team of Gannon, Bunn, Crossley, Harbin and Gray!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticMark Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 http://www.oldham-chronicle.co.uk/news-fea...atics-job-talks I would recheck Hardy is quoted as saying: “We (the board) will meet up tomorrow for a chat about how to move forward." This suggests their shortlist of 10 is now a shortlist of 2 or 3, and that they haven't made their minds up yet? Or is this all just a red herring?

Ernie For England Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Mark Crossley had a facebook status update a few days ago saying he had to change his holiday from 2 weeks to 1 week. Wonder why that is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless its Gannon, Ritchie, or someone from the next level up i.e. Dowie, Jewell etc. I'm not getting one.... The thought of Penney's number two continuing his good work from last season is a pretty sobering thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edhunteruk Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Would you accept Bunn? bunn would be a cheap option....and hasnt got much managerial practive...if there going down that root they may as well appoint butt..got bags of enthusiasm,will bring a new way of training with him,will have very good contacts and could bring in some decent quality players from those... i just hope we dont shoot ourselfs in the foot again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannydguzman84 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Well i'm with you on that + long term sick pay for absentees like Purdie etc. Obviously as posted Killen etc happens but it must have a place on budget in terms of ££££££££s with targets to reduce. My BIG gripe is agents fees......... Agent fees should be capped to a % of the transfer fee no more than 5% for the premiership and lower % the lower down the league. I dont know what we paid this year but i know it was released the fees and we could have got another player for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 If it's not Gannon then it doesn't really matter which of the inexperienced options we go for. I'd probably favour Crossley, but that said I'm still rooting for Jamie-boy to get the nod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd give it Richardson over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
