Unlikely. Andy Collet rejoined york in the summer as GK coach. Another unfortunate victim of Gray moving on it seems.Neil_Heaneys_Pace wrote:Probs will pop up at york on the coaching staff and as back up.
Gray wants to improve his keeping options hence the approach for Bartlett.
Collett has worked with Penney and Gray before. I'd imagine he is safe.JE93 wrote:Unlikely. Andy Collet rejoined york in the summer as GK coach. Another unfortunate victim of Gray moving on it seems.Neil_Heaneys_Pace wrote:Probs will pop up at york on the coaching staff and as back up.

From a club perspective it will be interesting to see how lean our backroom team is when a new manager is appointed. At one point we had Gray, Atkinson, Gregan, White, Bell all on the payroll. Any saving here is again good for finances which can be deployed elsewhere.

All depends on what you pay them though doesn't it. I'd happily work part time if I was paid the same as my full time role, anyone would. The only reason for an additional job would be if you couldn't live on the salary from your "part time" job.H1987 wrote:I wouldn't be against Proctor at all. Pretty experienced coach, and if he's involved in an academy set up, that probably means he's open to part time work. Of course our main problem is the job being part time, so we need someone else who does something else and is based in the area.
Seem to be quite a few of these academies now. Nothing in our rules to stop us forming our own in collaboration with an investor so long as it's set up so that our community benefits from it.norwich darlo wrote:And a new stand, and a roof.....Mr_Tibbs wrote:Start our own academy and get someone to invest in it.

I'm sure the DFC directors will be getting advice about how the youth setup can be managed post-MGFA, probably somebody who is or has been head of a professional youth development set up.Mr_Tibbs wrote:Seem to be quite a few of these academies now.

Encouraging children to be involved in sport is ultimately what we should be doing and working with the rugby club for that would be a good move.poppyfield wrote:Just a thought, does the Rugby club have an academy? you know for young rugby types, if not, would there be any mileage in exploring a joint venture, I would assume it cost effective having one admin type set up over seeing both ventures.
I'll get me coat.

Just thinking out loud but I would have thought it's an example of something where investment could be both possible and attractive without any impact on the ownership model, and might help to get it up and running.divas wrote:Why the need for an investor? Surely these academies deliver profit which is the whole reason for them existing in the first place?Mr_Tibbs wrote:Seem to be quite a few of these academies now.

Collett did always strike me as a thoroughly likeable chap.D_F_C wrote:

Think you will find he coaches the first team Goalkeepers as well as the youths.loan_star wrote:Collett just coaches the academy kids at York and helps out on match days if he’s there.
He won’t be after the Darlo job.
Of course he is.loan_star wrote:He isn’t the first team goalkeeper coach. He may help out if he’s there but isn’t considered a first team coach.
