Defoe in a coaching role

[Keawyeds]

I had a chat with my Dad when the JD news broke. He wondered if this means he might stay on in a coaching role.
I'm not sure what if any badges JD has done, but if the option came up for him to stay on and join the coaching staff or even join the coaching staff after completing his badges, you'd want him to come back wouldn't you?

No idea what his plans are, but having someone of that calibre teaching and encouraging the players can't be a bad thing

He will be going back down South to be close to his family.

He’d probably do it, and then give up a month later

Yeah was just about to say, might not fancy it half way through the contract.

We need someone we can rely on.

You’re taking this hard mate, JD can barely walk let him sit in the warm studio with some decent bait he’s done his bit professionally now

 

[Botchie]

Give it a couple of games and there'll be threads on here shouting for him to be the manager.

He's a 39 year old now retired professional footballer. He doesn't have polio.

Ooof ya fucker

His statement says he will be supporting us from afar (or summat like that), he ain't returning in any capacity, except maybe doing the h/t draw when we are back in the Premier League!

Given the choice I think he'll move back to London.

Aye, reads like he's back off down south. He'll be on the next Super Sunday no doubt.

The cast of Home and Away?

This.

 

[one footed wonder]

Back down south, bit of radio and tv work at best may keep his hand in / get his badges via working with clubs in london

 

[Coeus]

Appears to me that he cant wait to get away, doubt he'd be a coach here.

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

I’ve just unfollowed the little shit on insta

 

[C.ra.ig]

He’ll be the token West Ham/Spurs presence in the studio for their games, maybe us when we get back to the big time.

No thank you. A senior player than downs tools two months into a contract and two months before the end of a season with young and inexperienced team mates hasn’t earned the right to then come back and coach them.
