oafc1955 Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Still no news on a new assistant, however, I can't see the point in bringing someone in whilst Dickov's job is hanging by a thread. Lose the next two league games and he'll probably be gone anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crusoe Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Corney's in an awkward position. He either backs Dickov, hires a number two, and releases funds for signings ASAP or he sacks him soon, hires a replacement, and releases funds to him. Maybe the funds will only stretch to loans so timing hires to happen before the window closes isn't a problem, but I think we could use even loans ASAP given the paper-thin squad and current injuries and absences.

stevesmitt Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Was at an evening with Joe Royal on fri night and when asked he said he would not get back in to managing again but would like to take a job as assistant to a young manager. Could be a possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckshawlatic Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Don't see it being Royle and I can't see Dickov accepting it if it was. Be a bit awkward and fairly undermining for him to have a club legend as his supposed subordinate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Chemistry wasn't right with the previous 3 - in no way would it be right with Joe as a Number 2 to Dickov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Or an alternative option could possibly to be to keep the existing set up for the first team and bring in somebody on a temporary basis until the end of the season to cover TP's duties in the youth team. If Corney decides he wants Dickov to stay then let him bring in new backroom staff, if he dispenses with his services then whoever comes in to replace him isn't stuck with the backroom team of his predecessor.

Ackey Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Given that TP was clear as day the brains yesterday - calling all the shots on the touchline - and that him, Mick Priest and Dickov all seemed exceptionally close at the end I would suggest that's likely to be the setup until Dickov moves on...
