Apparently we are about to announce Sean O'Driscoll as our new assisstant manager. Yep me too I have never heard of him but appartently his last management role at club level saw him sacked by Bristol Ciy
{Ed001's Note - he performed miracles at Donnie Rovers and I said back then if we were going to take a chance we should get him on board. I am beginning to wonder if FSG are trawling the archives with Firmino and him joining us.....}
29 Jun 2015 23:09:13
Higuain and Medel next for you ed001. Lol
{Ed001's Note - depends on how far back they trawl. Could be Keisuke Honda, or they will be dragging some long retired player back into the game from when we first started the site!}
29 Jun 2015 23:17:49
I swear eds I was thinking the same thing as I read this there literally copying what you said so skrtel should be gone soon too, he'll ya. You guys should be in the board
{Ed001's Note - I am always available to the club if they need me!}
29 Jun 2015 23:25:24
I remember back in the day on here ED1 talking about O Driscoll, great shout mate
{Ed007's Note - Don't encourage him.}
30 Jun 2015 01:11:57
It's Donny 😇
30 Jun 2015 01:33:17
The most important question ed01, is wether he is a good/excellent coach instead of a yes man like pascoe or the token scouse in mike marsh.
{Ed001's Note - he is a very good coach first and foremost.}
30 Jun 2015 01:46:07
I don't understand how people are happy with this appointment. we should be getting experienced coaches, who have actually achieved something in the game. looks like another Yes man who will back up BR. can't imagine him having any impact on the players. very poor decision, and shows the mediocre standards LFC fans are accustom too under FSG
{Ed001's Note - you have no idea if you do not think he is an experienced coach!}
30 Jun 2015 02:06:35
Reading the Echo BR was quoted into saying something. looks like he is back from holidays and gag order removed.
30 Jun 2015 02:08:35
haha you make me laugh english managers and coaches are pesh full stop untill we start producing players like brazil and spain. then we can call our coaches and mangers something special we got no flair or technical abilities that's a fact our coaches makes us defend and pass backwards and you call this good lol Bournemouth England 19 August 2000 10 September 2006 326 118 98 110 36.20
Doncaster Rovers England 8 September 2006 23 September 2011 268 97 72 99 36.19
Crawley Town England 16 May 2012 19 July 2012 0 0 0 0 —
Nottingham Forest England 19 July 2012 26 December 2012 26 10 9 7 38.46
Bristol City England 14 January 2013 28 November 2013 44 11 13 20 25.00
England U19 England 4 September 2014 Present 7 6 0 1 85.71
Total 671 242 192 237 36.07
wow look at the ratios we are going backwards getting sky betchampion ship and sky bet 1/2 coaches we need spanish and brazilian coaches from u6s upto u18 to bring us flair and technical ablities
{Ed001's Note - stats are for those with no understanding to quote. Doncaster had the lowest budget in the division yet he kept them up for years through good coaching. I suppose you think Dario Gradi is a crap coach? You have absolutely no idea.}
30 Jun 2015 02:27:29
Hell if we're going back in the archives I still want ken aguero, cracking player, loves his crisps. ;)
30 Jun 2015 06:00:53
Any chance we go in for Ronaldo then? Wasn't he under consideration at one point!! ;)
{Ed001's Note - the fat one....}
30 Jun 2015 07:21:00
Ah good ol' Seany! :) Former Irish international, long been respected as a coach, bags of experience and excellent working with young players, which is why he got England U19 job. Must admit i'm surprised by this news this morning, but pleasently. Good luck to him. :)
30 Jun 2015 07:22:52
FSG will be after Ken Aguero next if they keep following the sight
30 Jun 2015 07:45:01
@ ksbhogal. That is a really dumb and groundless assumption and just shows what a mediocre football fan you are.
@ dannycad2. It strikes me that you're about 12 years old and have played a bit of Championship (Football) Manager. Just because he doesn't have a nice tan doesn't mean he's not a good coach.
30 Jun 2015 10:44:14
Ed001 mention Messi and then we shall all sit back with a big smile 😉
{Ed001's Note - the only problem with us signing Messi is I would never hear the end of it from Ed007! I have spent so long complaining about Messi's illegal (in sporting terms) usage of HGH that I would never live it down if he played for us. Mind, if he came and won us the league, I would gladly put up with it!}
30 Jun 2015 10:52:47
Dario Grady now that's a coach we should have brought in yrs ago performed miracles at crewe an knew a thing or 2 about bringing youth through, the club bringing in Sean o'driscoll is the most positive coaching move we've made since the jaffa took over
30 Jun 2015 11:09:47
Monchi in as DoF next Ed1?!
{Ed001's Note - that would be nice, shame it won't happen.}
30 Jun 2015 11:20:30
Haha, but does taking it as a child count? At least I was under the assumption it was during his childhood/teen years? Obviously once you turn professional I'd assume it's deemed illegal.
Side note - This is only the second time I've seen Ed007 comment. Which page/s does he/she usually frequent?
{Ed001's Note - if it was needed to live a healthy life, then fine, but he didn't need to take it for that, it was taken to improve his level of athletic performance. Ed007 tends to be kept in a box at the side of the sites to be let out when we are desperate for cover. Though most people know it as the Celtic site....}
30 Jun 2015 12:40:36
I have no idea???? He's experienced with DONCASTER. when did they last qualify for the CL?? What u and most of the people on here don't understand is the players need someone who has actually won something to look up too. like the old boot room, we had the chance to go get an amazing Assistant like Pako etc, and BR gets this pile of crap. We also needed someone to actually organise the defence, this guys teams let in more goals then we do. no hope and just like to add, can't see BR lasting too long, mediocre manager who got lucky having Louis Suarez in his team
{Ed001's Note - so Paisley, who was the assistant to Shankly, must have been useless as he had won nothing before taking the role. Thankfully you are here to tell the club the error of its ways or we could have ended up in real trouble. As for pile of crap, the only pile of crap is the imbecile judging him without knowing a damn thing about him. You are truly ignorant and yet you still post abuse. You have no constructive criticism, just idiotic notions about running a football club based on complete idiocy. Embarrassing.}
30 Jun 2015 13:32:42
Ed001. don't u dare even bring Paisley up. how can you even compare the two??? You really must be an imbecile.
1) Paisley had retired as a footballer, and joined the Boot Room straight after
2) Paisley was 35 when he joined as a physio, and 40 when he became Assistant, not 57 and been sacked by numerous clubs before being Assistant Manager, with a very poor club record.
Your lack of football knowledge is surprising, and the way you pick facts and twist them to suit your argument is a disgrace. your a typical bully who tries to belittle any poster who doesn't follow what you say.
and just to finish, every statement you made above was simply a reflection on yourself, as every comment was baseless. looks like you're the Moron
{Ed001's Note - bye bye, don't bother coming back until you know something about O'Driscoll and won't make such a complete idiot of yourself. People like you don't deserve to have a football team, you only want to abuse every one who is a part of it. Then you have the cheek to call someone else a bully after posting abuse of a nice man who has just taken a role at the club you pretend to care about. Utter and complete moron is what you are. Go find another place to infect with your idiocy.}
30 Jun 2015 13:36:46
Well said Ed001. These are exactly the kind of 'fans' we really don't need.
30 Jun 2015 14:21:35
Take no notice ed.
Seems to me that O'Driscoll is EXACTLY the type of fella that would have fitted in with the old boot room.
Anyway, I am liking the look of the first team coaching set-up and good to see talented people being given the chance.
30 Jun 2015 16:34:53
What a doughnut!!bit embarrassed for ya lad, try and see the positives out of this appointment and SUPPORT your club!!can't believe the shite the Eds have to put up with!not on really
30 Jun 2015 17:30:29
He did well at Doncaster Rovers !!!! This is Liverpool Football Club I want o hear he did well at Barcelona or Real Madrid or Bayern Munich Doncaster Bloody Rovers is this a joke cause I do not find this at all funny or are FSG giving Rogers enough rope to hang him self ?
30 Jun 2015 17:49:03
Haha, I think he created a new account Ed001 ^^
30 Jun 2015 21:57:06
Totally agree with Ed001, O'Driscoll is a very experienced coach who was/is very highly regarded. My mate played under him at Bournemouth for years and said he was an excellent manager/coach who obviously knows a thing or two as had Defoe on loan there when he was about 17/18, he coached Eddie Howe and if I am not correct was he not the manager who gave Danny Ings a go as a 17yr old???? Give the guy a chance for goodness sake when are people going to realise we are not living I the past and past glories count for nothing nowadays.
01 Jul 2015 01:51:10
This guy did work wonders for Rovers; He did so on a very small budget and with the fans more often than not on his back. He is no stranger to a challenge and he actually got Rovers playing a good pass and move game (they just didn't have the quality to be successful with it). He was hugely let down by the board and Ryan in my opinion.
He should be much more passionate than our previous number 2 and will bring some good critiques to the mix, differing to those opinions of Rodgers, of which are well documented, "we showed great character in our defeat today, we are proud of our performance" etc.
01 Jul 2015 06:12:24
I don't know much about the guy, but he is highly regarded and not a yes man.
01 Jul 2015 06:15:22
People on here claim to know about football yet they have never heard of Sean O'Driscoll! Most people reading his wpedia page probably think he's a poor choice but like has been said he worked wonders at Donny and was prematurely sacked by forest. He is renowned for the attractive style of football he plays so i'm pretty happy with the appointment.
