WoL are reporting, 'It is understood that some members of Omer Riza's previous staff will not be involved in Barry-Murphy's setup. Tom Ramasut won't be included, while Darren Purse will resume his role as head coach of the under-21s.'
What will happen to TR? Surely, he can't go back to the academy.
No idea mate
In that article BBM speaks highly of Gavin Chesterfield when DoF is mentioned. I can see a promotion coming for him soon.
It’s very disappointing that there was no news of a new structure at the club and, although it was an impressive first press conference by BBM today, i can’t help but feel that he’s going to have to be very good to succeed if we are going to continue to be run on the same old Vincent Tan knows better than any one else lines. That said, I agree that it seems like our new manager was very impressed by Gavin Chesterfield who was very much to the fore in the recruitment process, so, while there might not be the formal new job titles people were wanting, the most important thing is that someone like Chesterfield becomes more influential within the club - at least that would be a small step in the right direction.
It's the question of the summer. I was going to post something brilliant such as "why can't he go back to the academy? Someone has to pour the orange squash" but TR is, I assume, a highly qualified coach, and if we were looking to save a few quid we could've ditched him ages ago but didn't. All the managers since his promotion seem to be happy with his work. It's a fun pastime pondering what on Earth he does but this might not be as mysterious as, say, wondering how long Ken Choo spends at home.
Is Gavin Chesterfield any good? Didn't he come from Barry Town.?
All I know hes part of a set up that as sent us back to the lower leagues.
TR has been part of a failed managers team over and over again. In all that time I have never seen evidence of anything worked on during the week. With the new appointment of BBM I hope the club use this opportunity to remove as many of the old staff as possible and start afresh.
Tom Ramasut has been the great survivor since he came into the first team coaching set up with Steve Morison’s promotion.
I have no idea if he is good at what he does, but his ability to stay in place during so many regime changes is oddly impressive.
I may be wrong but wasn’t he name checked by Riza as being responsible (with Purse or Ward) for set piece training? If that is right he is not ticking boxes!
Maybe the club just values continuity - or he knows where all the bodies ate buried?
Wikipedia says he's been at Cardiff since 2011. Must have something, I guess.
This whole thing is starting to look like structural change without admitting to it. Saves face I suppose.
Hopefully he moves to pastures new. The videos of him and Purse giggling like schoolboys in the midst of a relegation battle do back up what Goutas said about the complete lack of urgency.
