Perfection is not attainable

well then we have a problem dell.byrne looks to be the main man during games(and we know he wants to be)but that doesn't mean malpas sits-stands there saying nothing.

I have always thought that Byrne seems to be "running" the team from the sidelines not Malpas, thats not right, I have wondered if it is purely that Byrne has a bigger gob than Malpas but I am not sure.

Surely on a match day the manager must be the man in charge.
I dont no much about the the backroom staff, but for me Malpas looks like he cannot impress his views with others raving from the line, tell them to sit down shut up.
Malpas take charge, please.

I wonder if Byrne and Malpas clash alot? Byrne seems to do all the talking and giving instructions and he's the assistant manager, i just thought maybe they might clash? especially as Byrne is not malpas's own staff, he had no choice but to work with him and williams.

He is a bit isolated though Arriba. Seems that way to me.

And the last man in. You wouldnt blame him for thinking twice about asking?


if malpas took the job with fitton stating that he must work with the coaches who are here then fitton got it wrong imo.if malpas said he'd like to work with them, then the blame if it goes tits up lies with him.

True, but its not been perfect, now weve got to back our main man? Surely weve got to give him a real go? As things stand?

Byrne has the louder voice so gives out Malpas' instructions.

i'd be interested to hear what byrne does during games. it looks to me as though he runs his mouth off a lot. williams is as good as anonymous and granville's warm-ups are pathetic, the subs just take the piss trying to score silly goals.

sturrock's tenure and wise's to a lesser extent demonstrate the importance of a good backroom staff

maybe the main man hasn't complained, and is happy with his coaches?

with regard to byrne.he shouts alot of the obvious during games."win it" "get there" "second ball" slates the officials etc.maybe malpas doesn't think he personally needs to state the obvious to the players in a high pitched ranting way with a head that looks like it's going to explode?

i dont care who does what as long as we get results.

Everyone was happy to see Byrne and Williams stay after their managerial stint in which we did alright.

Now was that them doing a good job or just them carrying on Sturrocks work.

Exactly DV, and there's a lot of assumptions being made here that Malpas had Byrne forced on him and would prefer to get his own backroom staff in. But that isn't what he says and if you listen to the second part of the podcast chat we did with him, he sounds pretty happy with the relationship and feels they compliment each other well. Just because it's normally the manager who rants and the assistant stands quietly by, doesn't mean it always has to be done that way.

Not sure I get the drift of that? Unless you mean you think Jerel's been made a scapegoat by being dropped? Otherwise, I'm struggling (genuinely) to see what it has to do with people's assumptions about the working relationship between Malpas and Byrne

You said malpas stated it was not forced to work with byrne etc,malpas also said no one will be made scapegoat for last week. The latter was obviously not true.so maybe he was just sayin what he thought we wanna hear paul.

it seriously annoys me that Malpas spouts all the same shit week in week out and everyone just accepts it, Malpas hasnt got the supports of the players, i have no idea how well he gets on with Fitton and that side of things, but on the footballing side the players dont like him, Malpas doesnt get on with Bodin, Byrne wants Malpas' job deperately, its a disaster

If malpas did happen to get sacked then byrne and williams should go to, i don't think byrne should get the job, i think it would be best to get rid of all the coaching team and let the new man bring in his own.
