PromDeAnglais 5,470 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 He was under 18 manager at Norwich last season. Bags of experience as a footballer. Over 300 appearances for Reading. Good appointment, another brick in the building of our foundations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poetry_In_Blue 1,043 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Actually quite an impressive Academy level CV particularly liked the qualifications part. "He has recently completed the English Premier League’s Elite Coach Apprenticeship Scheme which is an intensive two year course designed to accelerate the learning and development of coaches at Premiership clubs who have demonstrated the potential to be future elite coaches."

Ace 3,556 Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Another great appointment by the club which should further strengthen the Youth Development program. I hope that this helps to produce a home-grown group of players who can & should be used (if they are better than what we currently have !). The argument over playing a youth player AND persevering with them over more than a single game, against going out & buying talent is something that will always have to be balanced by the manager.
