Our backroom staff/lack of them?

[Dogmatix]

Its beginning to look like we will have no scouts very soon, if the papers are to be believed.

Davey Henderson has left for Hibernian, he was our Head Physio.

 

Newcastle United physio leaves to join SPL side Hibs

 

Newcastle United's physioroom review must now take place with an enforced move to replace Davey Henderson.

 

The United physiotherapist has left Tyneside to join Scottish Premier League outfit Hibernian.

 

Henderson, who will team up with former Toon star Liam O’Brien, who is assistant to Pat Fenlon at Easter Road, has served under a range of different managers during a five-year stint at St James’ Park.

 

However, his move north was thought to have been in the pipeline before Joe Kinnear’s arrival as director of football.

 

Henderson was a popular figure among players and built up a good rapport during his long spell with the Magpies.

 

But the show must go on for United as they look to improve on last season’s 16th-place finish.

 

Kinnear had stated he was going to take a look behind the scenes at the club’s Benton base to see if there could be any improvements made.

 

The ex-Wimbledon boss has held meetings in the capital with Mike Ashley, chief scout Graham Carr and manager Alan Pardew.

 

But it is thought he will head to the North East next week for the first time since he was forced to quit his role as manager in 2009.

 

The Magpies return for pre-season training next month before their first friendly game of the season at Motherwell on July 16.

Has Sir Les left Spurs?

 

If so could maybe seeing us trying to go for him as part of a PR exercise if anything else. Then again the board might not like somebody that is so popular amongst the fans being there.

[Guest reefatoon]

I would hope Sir Les has absolutely nothing to do with the Two bit set up we have.

That sounds like something that would make me very happy, i.e it's not gonna happen.

He absolutely hates defensive midfielders. Pardew wouldn't put up with that sort of talk.

[toontownman]

Are we assuming Pardew doesn't see Tiote as a box to box player now then? Lets hope he made his mind up on that and grew a brain.

[Disco]

They were joking on the Football Ramble that he should have been signed to accompany unpopular players when they warm up to ensure they got a good reception

[loki679]

Our first team coaching staff consists of 4 people and only 1 first team coach.  It's a joke.

[sh74]

Definately think we need a really good first team coach,don't think Carvers good enough.

Don't know what he's like while coaching, he may be really talented at aspects of it, but he doesn't come across very well from the stuff I've seen and a professional team needs more than just one bloke (of questionable intelligence, at that) in order to function well.
