Considering our recent history of morison hudson riza even whitehead for a few games it is very difficult to believe shaw won't be our manager fairly soon. Maybe even v his old team Coventry on new years day if we lose the next 2 games!

Can he play up front?

Shaw was assistant coach to Riza at Watford for the u23's (Source-Wiki)

Also says this on official statement.

Official statement says he has been Canada coach in 2023 also but that's not on wiki that I could see.

Some may say I'm being too negative but on the face of it its a pretty poor appointment for our number 2. Considering how poor the coaching staff is.

Apart from a brief spell with Canada on the coaching staff for a couple of weeks looks like he has only done youth football since 2013?

He's obviously friends with riza but I can't say I'm thrilled Watford youth coaching set up is now our first team set up.

I was thinking the same. Couldn't Riza do with someone with more experience of coaching at this level, like Plymouth have done with Mike Phelan?

Tan took the bottles back to finance this one.

Deputy Assistant to the assistant coach

The one positive thing about this is he isn’t Riza

So he can’t be any worse than we currently have, when he takes over in January

He puts the fecking Cones out

With a bit of training

Brilliant. We needed an experienced Championship coach at a minimum to help Riza.

Great appointment.........

When are we getting a flatulence prevention coach?

Chooses the dressing room 'mood' music I'm led to believe.

Expecting Bristol Rovers to name Brighton Under-18s manager Inigo Calderon as their new manager.

The 42-y/o Spaniard was sounded out as the best candidate for the job

apparently this fella was on Cardiff's radar not so long ago

From what borley said nobody is or was on the clubs radar they just wait and see which agents push their clients forward and maybe choose someone from that. If calderon was looking to manage then his agent just probably put his name out there.

I very much doubt cardiff have a radar.

Reading between the lines I feel strong support for this appointment :xmasthumbup:

If he's mates with Riza and has only worked in youth football, the chances are it isn't a great one...

Been stuck on Radiohead & Joy Division for the past few years by the looks of things

This made me laugh. Thank you.

Christ give him chance

Just read, Shaw was the player fouled
by Cantona. That led to Eric's sending off and hence to karate kit.

DOWN DOWN Status Quo

So it looks like Riza's here til at least the end of the season however the next few games pan out. Not sure I think this is wise - the desperate state the team is in all options should remain on the table..

It will be interesting to see how much Phelan does improve them, he's coached top-level and should help Rooney them improve.

On the plus side a defender, so hopefully he can stop us from conceding two goals a game and work on something to defend a lead and stop the panic and late goals conceded.

Sometimes you just need someone you know and trust to help you out, as another pair of eyes and someone to discuss changes with.

I think the appointment of Phelan at Plymouth might get them out of trouble as he'll improve their defence.

Tan clearly doesn’t rate purse, whose our under 21 coach I see they are top of the league…..
