Pezo Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 11 minutes ago, AshtonGreat said: Better than the current guy, I would say Different roles, LJ's job here was more like CF but with added overall responsibility for the squad, NP job (and I accept you didn't say NP explicitly) is more of a senior management type role trying to put in a framework for the club to work to. I personally think you get more out of someone like LJ at the sharp end but it all falls apart eventually, with NP you get a scaled framework than achieve different goals (staying up, going up, consolidation ect) but you maybe lose getting 2 or 3 percent out of each player on a match day because he's just not as close to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. I always quoted that LJ needed a “Lenny Lawrence” type person in between him and Ashton, a mentor there 24/7, not a Marwood / Dalglish distant “guide”. As you say, someone to bounce off of, someone to squash the hair-brain ideas. I think we will see some changes in staff in the summer. Whether it gives us the right set up who knows? I think Pearson likes to watch and evaluate, not knee-jerk into change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
