Andy Quy was similarly spoken about and respected and then didn’t really do anything when he left.
Not saying this is the same as I have no idea how good he is at his job but the talk means little imo.
Good luck to him.

Think Quy is at Huddersfield now with Rooster …..which probably proves your point |

No idea what’s gone on here, or even if anything at all has gone and other than our physio wanted a new gig. However, one absolute pet hate of mine is managers needing to bring in a whole host of back room staff when they take a job. One or two, fine no worries, certainly an assistant. But the rest of them? They seem to get replaced constantly but the managers mates.
It’s the managers job to come in and manage the club, not just the playing squad. Unless they are incompetent then this weird nepotism should stop, especially when we are paying compensation. It’s also no use at all to us when 12 months later the manager is fired and we start all over again.

Managers come in and eventually replace existing members with people they’ve previously worked with. I can’t grumble as I’ve moved a couple of times with previous managers. There is sometimes an element of enjoying working for an individual and my current boss has just left and the place ain’t the same. |

I know it goes on but the average tenure of a football manager has got to be less than a year so I just don’t see how it makes sense anymore? It’s an archaic practice from the times when managers would be in place for ages unless they were absolutely diabolical |

Does seem a real strange move. Someone who is so respected by the players, current and former who all mention how good he's been. Josh Laurents comment of "All the best Meacy. Ain't no better out there than you" sounds kind of ominous in a way that who ever replaces him won't be as good. I get figure of speech can be taken out of context but wonder who they've got lined up to replace him that could hopefully be as good if not better than Nick Meace. Wonder if the club hieracy were concerned about familiarity and considered a change was in everyone's best interests but I'd of imagined a good player/Physio relationship would be a good thing within a club. I don't know, sure there's a reason and cause behind their decision. They were alluding yesterday in the ManU-Arsenal punditry, to the ManU players deciding whether they were fit enough to play. If you're too pally with the physio, and don't fancy it, does it become easy to have the physio 'do you a favour'?? |

I do wish these players would think just a little before they type  It's probably just that, an off the cuff compliment but it does make it look like the player disagrees with the Club's decision and even if the Physio has chosen to leave himself I'm sure that there are plenty of other top Physios out there. Sometimes a change is necessary , as others have said, there can be problems with too much matey-ness for example. I'd like to think that whoever comes in to replace him is given the utmost respect by everyone and allowed to settle in and do the job the way they like to do it without biased comparison. Jeez, everyone's so 'precious' thesedays none more so than many Pro Footballers. I wonder how long Josh has got left here? |

Bring back Richard Gray! Dont recall us having many serious injuries during Lou’s reign Pace of the game has changed drastically even since then. Players are more like athletes now |

Well, turned out Josh didn't have much time left here at all so who cares what he thought!  Good luck to the physio geezer anyway. |

I'll take full responsibility for this. I literally JUST fired him last night on my football manager game as the fitness of the squad was shocking and then this happens. Thinking about it, it is actually quite strange that this happens the day after I sack him on the game 😂 I only played football manager for a bit but I signed Etherington and he did brilliant. Then we signed him in real life. I thought that was a bit weird at the time too 😆 |
