Good lad, they really are a club which should be doing better than they are, good fans, big crowds and they hate city more than us. I'd die laughing if they could come up as city went down!

Just reading on the website .. officially he is still just known as the first team coach but selects players, transfers all that stuff.
Lennie Lawrence has come in as Director of Football .. to do the structure of the club, reserves, youths etc

As I understand it PT is coach and team selection and Lennie Lawrence is Director of Football, responsible for everything else.
These arrangements don't always work out well, but I could see that being a good pairing.

These two tier things dont always work out .. but I reckon PT will MAKE this one successful .. Although his dad wasnt a great manager I think Paul has got his dads determination combined with his mums PR skills .. and that makes him a good person for management. Certainly a top class coach anyway!

Yeah, good work to my former next door neighbour (before he moved out), now my next door neighbour's son.

i agree Reg. Pox made a massive mistake getting rid of him.
