Alan Matthew Assistant

**A face** · 15/01/2008, 5:35 PM

Any suggestions on who you would like to see as his assistant? For the life of me i cant think of anyone? I think that it will be a very important position as i reckon there will be a big learning curve for Matthews.

Paul McGee.

Assistants are subordinates, usually an inexperienced ex-colleague. No manager is stupid enough to engage someone who's a threat to his position if he can possibly help it. Isn't Matthews supposed to have a Director of Football or similar working his strings? That would be the critical appointment, if so.

Paul McGee confirmed aswell earlier on RED Fm.

Seems he wants to bring in a full time coaching staff aswell

Matthews always worked better with an assistant. Aaron Callaghan, trevor crolly, both a massive help for the club, i feel matthews was inept and fell short often in terms of tactics

Why don't you change the green stripes to black and finish the process

Wouldn't be the first colour or name change down there

Ah come on, you're just mumbling now. You can do better than that .... take your time and put more effort it.

And your point is? Very lame effort ... do try harder

Max, if your not going to post something worth reading then just dont bother posting at all, A Face, is it true about McGee or is it only a windup

I dunno, nothing concrete on it yet so i wouldn't be believing it yet anyway.

Dont know much about the guy either.

Perhaps Pablo should try that also.

Stay Classy.

Mathews confirmed it

ffs real club!! Pablo give us a break will you. I dont think Matthews is a great manager will be interesting to see his progress with Cork though!!

**Risteard** · 15/01/2008, 10:11 PM

I'd imagine Alan Matthews Director of Football boss might be a more significant appointment.
I'd have thought Colin T might join the coaching staff this close-season.

Colin is doing the work of four people in his role for the FAI, he covers a serious amount of ground and is good at what he does so i cant see the FAI leaving him go that easy.
