Lets give credit to the back room staff

[9-3]

Erwin Koeman

Jan Kluitenberg

Sammy Lee (ex Liverpool also played for Saints)

Dave Watson (also England goalkeeping coach)

Martin Hunter

Scott Walters (performance analyst) watch him run from the TV gantry Kingsland across the pitch to the dressing room at half time!

[Saint Charlie]

Walters is very consistent in his hurdling of the Kingsland advertising boards. Always gives a lift to the team returning for the second half when he deals with it effortlessly whilst holding a laptop.

Google image search shouldn't be too much effort

Rumour has it that Erwin is the real power behind the throne

......doubtless because RK needs a " YES man " ....who also knows how to say " NO " at the appropriate moment. Big brother is watching:scared:

Thanks, yes, he looks a toughy behind his brother's smiling front--probably a good combination

The back room Staff don't only exist at the Stadium.The Scouts continue to do magnificent job without showing their faces every week. The whole structure of SFC is worthy of accolades these days.

Congrats to Nicola who set it all up from an argumentative shambles

(in recent interview) sounded as though RK wanted to see out his contract rather than thinking about the Holland job ...again. Maybe a bit of Euro success might convince him to stay even longer.....

 

With Wenger as the longest-surviving Prem. manager (now reaching 65) you can wonder how other clubs will carry on when they don't have the SFC type organisation. The majority of Prem. sides ..desperate for success (which in some cases means only "survival ") sack managers after 6 bad games, and then hand his replacement a few million to squander on life-saving signings... one wonders what on earth they have for a long term plan, or if they even have one.

 

The original " Cortese strategy " may still be in place (in some form), but it seems a good sound structure that will outlast many clubs'... if properly maintained.

Perhaps it took some time to see our Academy really flourish, but it's a fair bet that many " so-called top clubs " are some years behind us in that area, and even those who have a properly-organised system don't seem to be able to exploit it. The appointment of Ronald Koeman shows that when we head-hunt a manager we are replacing an important cog in the machinery... and not the whole engine.

 

Long may it continue.

The money they're on they shouldn't need credit.

[Ohio Saint]

I'm loving Sammy Lee. He's like a lucky gnome kinda guy. Rub his belly for a win.

Um, they would get stick for losses on the exact same money, so why not credit?

Leaps up, ridiculous rapid sideways clap, fist waving, ridiculous sideways rapid clap, sits down again.

..if any of our fans reacted that way - they'd be ejected by the stewards....
