Quote: TnT "I think Grix maybe a good coach for us. He’s popular, he’s seen good and bad as an assistant, and regardless of how, we have been better since his elevation. What more can he do at the moment? We’ve had Australian coaches we’ve had British coaches. We should quit while we’re ahead. If he can harness the incoming players with the youth, helped by Cummins then why pay even more for a sexy coach when Grix can continue his good start. The coach we need is not one that looks good from our fans perspective but who engineers, oils, and fine tunes from inside the club. Grix feels to be doing that to me without being glamorous'"
All well and good and I’m not adverse to him BUT do you let him have the job for this season and try to recruit a head coach for next year, letting him get his own squad together?
OR tell him he’s got the gig then find out he’s not good enough and run around like headless chickens trying to get someone in sharpish. Chicken and eggs scenario. Damnded if you do, damned if you don’t. Personally I’d like to get someone sorted, give Grix the Academy set up and assistant role. IF that’s acceptable to him. Think there’s mileage in the Rowley story yet unless it’s Lam, would explain why we’re raiding Leigh. Who’d be an FC supporter.
