Title: Ray lewington
Post by: nose on June 28, 2016, 12:47:33 PM
Looking for a job

He was a a great man at fulham and though Joca has his own team, i think ray could be a great addition to the coaching/management team.... he understands the psyche here.

Would be fantastic......every club should have a 'club man' on the management team...and Ray is certainly one...

Lewington,Hangeland and Hughes.
Who else is going to be mentioned to come back.
Stop living in the past...Lets move forward.

I think this is slightly different though to Hangeland and Hughes.  Nothing wrong with improving the coaching staff if the opportunity arises.

I would welcome a lot of former players back, as long as it is in a non playing capacity. Ray Lewington's departure seemed to correlate with our downfall in regards to set pieces (imo) If the current structure would like him back, by all means.

Think the world of Lew and Uncle (especially Lew) for what they done for our club but I think we should
move forward now and get us out of this position as we are.

It is usually my opinion that you never go back and I have sympathy with that view. Lew is an exception IMO.

I think what he can do will be to bridge the gap between the management of the team and the hapless managhement of the club. I think he will assist in ensuring we have a better focused purchasing policy (or at least i hope he wopuld) and he would bring back to the club somebody that understands what we need psychologically, I hope he may occasionally get the ear of the owner and get better overall descision making.   

Maybe it wouldn't work out and I suspect he ain't coming back, bust based on what seems to be going on or not going on should I say, I think it is worth a try. Surely it couldn't be worse.

The problem with national team coaches and managers is that they don't get enough time with the players, as a club day to day coach Ray is one of the best.

Gray is still employed by us, so not sure how much there is to do for him.
