Williams is Favourite [New Head Coach speculation thread]

[LeftPeg_Pie]

Maynard and Wilshere are chalk n cheese? one played pub football whilst the other played for England. One captained BT Engineers FC, the other, one of the big 4.
Now don?t get me wrong I don?t know what I?d make of Wilshere the coach, after all he has little in the way of experience, but that fits with what the bros do.
Wilshere hasn?t jumped in to football management with a club but has been learning at academy and then a Championship club. Whilst I assume picking up his coaching badges.

Does playing experience necessarily equate to a more successful coaching career?

Players may well have heard of Wilshere over Maynard, but if someone of Wilsheres profile turns up and cannot communicate, delivers crap training and starts poorly, players will not care if he was Pele.

Also, on the premise of working in an academy, that is clearly an excellent grounding in coaching; but is there much real world football jeopardy in an elite academy environment? Or are they more geared toward development? Probably the latter.

That?s the point tho, isn?t it? Our model is about development, so having that background gives someone like Wilshere an advantage over an SM.
Folks, I?m not saying let?s get him in. But clearly he?s had a different footballing education from SM, that is a fact. Comparing him to the likes of Rooney is also a tad daft as Wilshere hasn?t got an ego to say ?I can go and piss head coaching?, he?s gone and done some low key coaching which may or may not stand him in good stead.
What if he turns out to be an exceptional coach? We don?t need a manager, the model sees to that.
