Snatched whoringly from Cock 'n' Ball (sorry Scott and Dave :razz:) - listen to their podcasts they're great - but this an update on our new coach.

Originally from spursman 14 on COYS

Guys, i can confirm that John Burridge is our top target for the goalkeeping coach position. Robbo wants him and spurs have offered him the job, only problem is, he and his wife are settled in Dubai. He trained robbo at leeds when george graham was at the helm, robbo believes this guy can get the best out of him and the spurs board are willing to try anything to get robbo back to his best. COYS!

followed up by ...

this is 100 person true info cause i know the guy personally. Seems Robbo literally called him up and said things like "my mind and fitness is gone, only you can put me right Budgie". He's really close to Robbo and i dont think he'll turn us down.

Does anybody else have a problem with a player picking his own coach?

Not at all.

Rumours are that he's told Big Pat to fuck off, and obviously said no to Shilts when he offered. Clem is with England (and obviously hasn't done much good there, despite his best efforts, I'm sure). That doesn't leave many.

I have more of a problem with Robbos form, so if it gets him back to the form he showed in his first season, then I for one will be happy.

Whilst I would have thought there are better coaches out there than Budgie, I'd like to think it couldn't get any worse than the last season and a half.

I wish I could pick my own boss.

Player power is out of control. He needs to be told some harsh truths and might not like what he has to do, but that's life I'm afraid. No point hiring your mate who's going to massage your ego and molly coddle you.

Well, if Robbo won't budge....

... give him more fudge? :shrug:

I love that old saying.

As far as this stuff goes, if it helps boost Robbo's confidence, he can pick Pob and Morph for all I care. If he somehow is convinced to command his area by a Little Helicopter then it's alright by me. :up:

And just to throw some ITK in the mix JTG from COYS has good authority that
We were watching the Schalke goalkeeper yesterday .......

Neuer i think his name, he seems to be rated as one of the best future keepers. So Robbo needs to be worried.

he might be able to keep him out of the golden arches that would be a start......
