Ellis here as defensive coach with McCulloch as assistant/striker coach. Strange though that he would take on an assistants joab as i though he did well for being thrown in at the deep end in management.Originally Posted by JamesMcClean

What's Gordon Forrest's role again?

Some cash we are splashing out on the coaching side BTW.

Agreed. So that’s Neilson as Head Coach, Forrest as assistant head coach, Ellis as defensive coach and McCulloch as assistant/strikers’ coach. Forgive me but, what a load of p1sh. Far too many. (If indeed that is the set up)

F#cking hell that's a mental amount of coaches. Just when I thought you lads were getting some credibility you go and appoint Lee McCulloch!!

You missed out Craig Easton, Neil Alexander, and Scott Robertson...

Terry... I posted this in a WhatsApp chat with fellow Arabs.
Seriously, though. How big a backroom team do we need?
- Shaba (chief gardener/manager)
- Robbie (head coach)
- Ellis (assistant)
- Forrest (US guy, first team coach/assistant)
- McCulloch (first team coach)
- Alexander (keeper coach)
- Gabris (conditioning coach)
- Dailly (fitness coach)
I had East/Robertson in too, but took them out as youth coaches.
Gabris and Dailly I'm not sure about.

Easton is the reserve team coach isn't he? Robertson is definitely youth, but still. If this is the way Robbie has had success in the past then I'll all for it but it seems like a lot of coaches for a club our size.
Ultimately, no one will care if we get promoted though.

Just an observation, if I'm right, and not necessarily a criticism.
I have never been on any Club's website & not seen a full run-down of what is commonly referred to as the 'backroom staff'.
Every Club I've ever looked up has a comprehensive listing of Manager/1st team Coach right down to Kitman with pics & penpics of each. And then the same for the Directors.
But not our Club.
If you go to our website you will not even find out that Robbie Neilson is our 1st team coach.
Strange? Just laziness?
