Taylor wants Wood to stay

[caytonmiller]

I suppose if we alternate him. One week he played the following week we swap him for Doris. Wood could make the tea's Doris gets a rest. Win win

Well he’s not going gru so read it and weep.

Taylor knows and sees more of him on a daily basis than you ever will. Kept as a back up player, defensive coach or whatever, he is a club legend and he is being rewarded accordingly for the Herculean effort he has put in over the years.

Club legend weren't Gerry Forrest he was here 8 or 9 years a better player as well. I don't buy we've got to keep topping his pension up.

We have our outfield coaches. So you want a defensive coach at what cost? out of budget for recruitment!

gru not sure if you know, but it’s not uncommon for a club to have both an outfield coach AND a defensive coach as both are specialist areas with different set ups.

Spot on, gru seems to have a major dislike of people who are popular and successful. I can't think why.

Defensive coach + (provided squad size limitations could accommodate) retain his player registration for "as and when" required ?

We've never had both!

We've never had both!

So we never should? We never had Performance Analysts, we never had a head of recruitment, but we do now. Are you against progress?
