TBF I like Mad Gav as a person, hes a personality, but was brought in to be defensive coach, and we have been pretty terrible defensively this season.

So it would be thanks for everything and good luck in the future.

…he’s definitely do a better job as our attacking coach!
It would be a shame to see him go - he’s probably been the highlight of the last season.

It will be a shame but Flynn must be allowed to bring in his own coaching staff. Defensively we have beet utterly woeful at times.

I do hope Mildy stays though, even if its not goalkeeping coach in one form or another, proper good club servant and Town fan.

Certainly not against Flynn bringing in his own people.
Don’t see why he can’t bring his own people in to work alongside Gav & Mildy.

The only reason I can think of would be cost.

Personally, I’d want to retain both Mad Gav and Mildy.

Mad Gav was Sandro's man

I’m sure Lindsey said in an interview - it was his decision to bring Gav in because he’d previously known him from their time at FGR.

Sandro confirmed in one of the panels that Gav was his man to ensure consistency in the event Head Coach changes.

…then he should have just put him in as head coach to start with!

…then he should have just put him in as head coach to start with!

Then he wouldn't have been able to ensure consistency in the event of a management change!

Wasn't that the point of Sandro? (not that it went so well).

I do get the theory of "have a few people around so you have continuity" which works well if, say, Garner leaves after a successful season. But the flip side of it doesn't seem to get acknowledged, which is if you have a season like this one, you suddenly have extra people to sack.

…no, he’d have just won football matches and then we wouldn’t have needed any management changes

Isn't that the idea of a DoF so he does the recruitment of the new manager / head coach knowing what is / has been going on, and he is the one consistent person

Listening to the brief on the sofa last night sound like Flynn is going and talking to everyone including scouts, analyst, fitness coaches etc and making a decision on everyone, I suppose being experienced he has the opportunity to mould how he wants it run having worked a certain way, and maybe having a budget to increase  / reduce his staff if he feels it is needed

Lennie Lawrence as our new Technical Director? Heard a rumour but no idea if it has any substance.
