What does he actually "do" at the club?

Club ambassador isn't he, so he'll be meeting those posh folk in the boxes on match days. He was also in charge of keeping an eye on the lads out on loan and reporting back to the club on how they're getting on. People go on as if he's CEO or something.

Did he?
 

Monty isn't part of the problem man. He comes around the hospitality areas and glad hands people, he's not shilling for Donald and Methven.

Bally is sound as a bloke, but if I was being impartial, I'd say that because he's a prominent club legend, the current owners went out of their way to give him a more prominent role, and that makes it hard for him to be publicly critical of them.

Yes it does but to varying degrees. Although Poyet has won promotion from this league before, I find it highly unlikely he's been keeping tabs on the division and will know the players and playing styles of the teams in the league. He'd need to be brought up to speed on our squad and the attributes of certain players, which could cost us points during that transition period as he learns about the squad.

You could argue that someone like Cook with more recent experience of the division and having worked with players in the squad before would be better suited to the immediate task in hand, though i'll admit that was part of the logic behind the Parkinson apppointment. Poyet probably a better long term shout but I think would take a bit longer to get results this season. The good thing is that he'd be afforded more time than most and would give the club a big lift.

I agree with all of this mate

The piece about getting results. We should have won at doncaster andfleetwood and with the correct approach we would have. Parkinson let us down I would have thought even in early days Poyet would have the foresight against this sort of side

Realistically. no club employee is going to be anything other than openly supportive - at least in public.

Kevin Ball has done very well out of SAFC. Watching him doing a bit of bouncer work for Methven showed that that he knows where his bread is buttered
