Eels football boss Daniel Anderson hails 'tremendous' coach Brad Arthur

[Parra]

Would be great to get Hughes on board. He knows how to recruit & retain and would bring a wealth of experience. Great to see the club concentrate on building a winning structure & eventually get back to a winning culture & expectation.

Would be happy with Hughes. Nolan will be hard to replace, they made a very good choice there.

Agree!!! Hughes has the runs on the board.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Plus after playing outside Andrew Johns in Newcastle for all those years he could probably teach our halfbacks a thing or two.

...ummm I thought it was the other Mark Hughes.

The manager of Stoke City?!? Why would we trust him to run our recruitment and teach our halfbacks to organise? He's probably never even met Andrew Johns.

 

[Eels Dude]

Wouldn't DA's role be something similar to Andrew Hill's or Tony Zappia's when they were here at the club? People suggesting he will be taking over Peter Nolan's job are way off the mark IMO.

Yes, that would be trouble.

I was thinking the brother of Garry and Graeme, but it may be neither of them...I'd just assumed that it was him b/c of the Canterbury connection.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

You could be right, Barry.

 

[Gary Gutful]

I don't think so because there was a stack of them in the bakery meaning I got a free read while I scoffed down a pie, sausage roll and a thick shake.

Holy f**k. That is a fair feed.

 

[84 Baby]

So what exactly does Daniel Anderson do?

He tells the f**kheads how, when & where to apply their skills. Because as skilful as a f**khead can be, they still need to be told to do their job

 

[Twizzle]

I'd say the new guy will have a watered down version of Nolan's role though, with many of Nolan's responsibilities rolled into the GM Football job. Otherwise without any responsibility for recruitment/retention, what the f**k does a GM Football even do? Booking Parra pool for recovery sessions is hardly a fulltime job.

I'd say Wilson will just be head of junior recruitment, answering to Anderson.

or perhaps there aint gonna be another new guy

 

[Poupou Escobar]

By 'new guy' I meant old guy Craig Wilson. I heard (read?) he would be promoted, however I also read that Mark Hughes would be coming here from Stoke.

 

[eel speel]

I have been a General Manager of Sales, Marketing and Customer Service before.
But I dont remember writing all the ads, closing every sale and answering every customer phone call. I did have responsibility for them though. Probably the same as how Nolan reported to Anderson as will his successor.

Might be worth understanding organisational structures before commenting sometimes.

Well said emjaycee..... Might be worth understanding what the structure is first.

New CEO and new structure. Lets wait and see what will happen.

 

[Gronk]

If you listen to what rookies coaches say about their first few years, they say that the step up from assistant to head coach means that they have to take on other non-core footy tasks. Ando takes up the slack and lets the coach, coach.

Paul Green the other night looked quite frustrated about his workload as he (like a hell off a lot of rookie coaches) are just thrown into the deep end.
