Title: What does Matt Wells do?
Post by: AnOldBrownie on October 02, 2020, 12:40:38 AM
I mean...he's the guy giving Scott information on the sidelines during games, but what are his day to day responsibilities?

I wonder why if Scott Parker has so much talent, why he is listening to someone without experience.

Are you suggesting he replaced Hilda.

Dare I say it, but before his appointment a lot of Spurs fans said Parker didn't really have much of a tactical mindset. Stuck to one formation and hoped the players delivered. And that was at youth level!

All coming to the surface now.

That really is a question, well someone has to count the players on and off the pitch in case we lose any in the grass (I'm not being serious).

Very one dimensional, he has notes from his experience over the years, the end result is 'Parkerball'.

According to the official site, Stuart Gray is still our assistant manager, but it is obvious watching any match that Wells is certainly the one in Scott's ear and by his side offering advice. I had also heard that Gray has taken a bit of a backseat over recent times due to health issues. Seems to coincide with our ever-decreasing quality of defending. I question how a 32-year-old who has never played the game professionally and who has never been involved in a first team setup at any professional club until he joined Fulham, can possibly be the right man for the job.

I am beginning to believe that from top to bottom the club is being steadily filled with personnel no one else wanted or wants ... makes Junior Khan's job much easier.

Exactly, he surrounds himself with people who are no threat to him, who will not ask difficult questions, I think they are known as yes men.
When I was in my 20s I remember a Manager I worked for summoning me to his office one day.
He basically and unfairly accused me of intimidating my co workers.
So I stared at him until he apologised.
