I think that may be a little bit harsh. SD's admitting that he lost focus in a key area; he's already said that Andy Franks is the only fitness coach with the science to back him up.Originally Posted by whosbrianwilson
I think this is just one area where the club needs to refocus and get more energised. SD wants to take fitness to a wholeistic level where it also includes mental attitudes, what they eat and drink, and commitment to the club 24/7. Having seen the inconsistency and mistakes in off-the-pitch lives, I'd support him.
Andy Franks clearly works hard, but has he been left to just get on with it, with guidance and input from SD?

I find it hard that the club now says they need to watch what they eating etc - other clubs have been doing this for years why are we so behind the times?
If SD is now overseeing Fitness what are we employing AF for ? Hasn't he been reporting into the manager on his fitness regime all season ? Why haven't questions been asked before ? Surely SD has enough to concentrate on without this as well.
As professional footballers are they not ashamed of their fitness levels to do something about it themselves ?
