It does look like SG will remain in his post for the time being but I am sure the goals he is set will be expected to be achieved immediately now. Didn't like Roeder as a player but he I would be he has better contacts in the game than SG has, so lets use that as well. Surrounding SG with better coaches as well should be the next move, John Deehan is almost invisible as a coach and Bullen is a defensive coach like SG himself. Someone with a strikers background is very much needed.
We are setting up in many ways like the model Johan Cruyff set up at Ajax & Barcelona. The Football Board select the players which aids continuity. Ideally they should expand by another two members (to five) because everything can be lost with just three if one leaves. The Board should also set the playing philosophy so that the Head Coach cannot change to his preferred tactics when the Club has already chosen its method of play which runs right throughout the Club.
This method allows the Club to dispose of the Head Coach with little loss of continuity because the philosophy, tactics and players were selected by the Club and not the Head Coach (although he has a say in it). Personally, I would add two people who are steeped in Wednesday history to make the Player Selection Board up to five. May I suggest Peter Shirtliff & Chris Waddle or at least people of similar standing at SWFC.
Not sure what John Deehan adds and think Lee Bullen is largely there because he is a Wednesday hero. We lack imagination in our play and rarely do anything inventive from free kicks and corners. We tried one from a corner about three months ago where Maguire came from deep to shot from 20 yards and when SG was asked about it, he said, "It was something Maguire came up with on Thursday in training so decided to give it a go." Why wasn't SG & his coaching team coming up with any corner routines?
Wednesday announce that Paul Aldridge will be leaving at the end of next season.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
