Rich77. Just to clarify the basis of my opinions. i have a sports science degree. Shit load of coaching badges. Have worked with our league 2 side. And managed teams over the last 15 yrs. My disertation focused on bridging the gap between pro and semi pro football. And focused on the ,motivational factors that separated the 2 groups. Think that over qualifies me to have my opinion on butcher. Good no doubting that. But unlikey to play higher than we are now. Fact. And in support the o/s state the management team are looking for a new goalie. I rest my case.
Are you seriously suggesting that because you have a 'shit load of coaching badges' your opinion is somehow more valid than anyone else's?
You're entitled to your opinion, of course. That's what message boards are for. But don't try and claim that you are right just because you've done a dissertation.
And don't spin the managers' words. They said on the o/s that they're looking for a new goalie as competition for Butcher, giving us two keepers, which surely most clubs would have? At least that's my opinion but then, I don't have a sports science degree.
