Carra as assistant?

Well he's better than no assistant....

We need an experienced coach i feel Carra isn't that yet.

Wonder if this was a condition of him staying. Diminishing his power and bringing in personnel who can actually challenge him rather than simply be yes-men.

Or maybe he felt himself he needed these changes and suggested them at the meeting.

It's no good guessing!

Doubt Carra would come in. Not that he wouldn't want to, but it's just that he's been critical of Rodgers in his current line of work. Things probably would be a bit prickly.

How do you know whether they are yes men or not?

René Meulensteen commented on how we lacked experience in the backroom last year, and we'd struggle in Europe.

Honestly, i'd do anything to get him in. He worked around Fergie for years, he knows how to win both in Europe and domestically. He has a winning mentality and we could do a lot worse.

He didn't work out as a #1, but seems a great #2. One of Moyes' biggest mistakes was binning him off

RideTheWalrus · « **Reply #966 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:26:01 pm »

Let's just hope we get someone experienced in, and not Southampton's assistant...

You'll get the odd joker saying that Rodgers has threw people under the bus, but this is what some were calling for on here. Clearly FSG have it as a condition for Rodgers staying in the job and perhaps want to see how he'll do with a FSG picked staff (hopefully more experienced and renowned), instead of his own team.

Agreed. It would be ridiculous to replace experience for a club legend yet inexperienced coach. I'd like to think we're making changes to bring in broader experience and talent, not just 'names'.

JSteve · « **Reply #970 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:26:22 pm »

Meulensteen is available right? He would be a great coach.

Seems really odd to me that Pascoe would go and not Rodgers too, are there many managers who've got rid of their assistants, they're usually superglued together

AndyMuller · « **Reply #974 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:26:42 pm »

I'm happy to see the shorts guy go, hope we bring in a top coach.

Get Steve Clark back in to shore up that defence and let Rodgers focus only on attack.

Pascoe has himself to blame. All that money and he can't spring for a pair of pants.
FSG got sick of looking at his hairy legs in meetings.

Eeyore · « **Reply #979 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:28:50 pm »

Dead man walking. Remove the relatively cheap people around him diminish his power base and then wait for him to walk would be a cynics view

So Marsh and Pascoe both gone.

Interesting to see who comes in now. I guess whoever said there was going to be a backroom staff re-shuffle wasn't lying.

Caston · « **Reply #981 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:29:51 pm »

Wasn't expecting Pascoe to go too. Hopefully we can get someone with lots of experience as assistant now though.

You really don't think they would have told him about this in the meeting?

Clearly he's lost some of the power he had from 2013/14 and FSG imposing their own conditions on him remaining in the job.

It's no good guessing!

It's a pretty big call to get rid of people you know and trust. He was the one who promoted Mike Marsh and has been with Pascoe for years. In an ideal world he'd keep them on in some capacity but to get rid of them completely - it's hard not to think this hasn't come from FSG.

Heading off to Delhi Dynamos, it seems. He'd be a great hire, though. Shame.

Not sure why everyone is guessing who is making the decisions. For all any of us know these came from Rodgers himself.

There is no point putting on the tinfoil hat and throwing guesses out there.

dirkster · « **Reply #997 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:35:41 pm »

Wow wasn't expecting that about Pascoe (if true). My worry is who is going to choose the next assistant and coach? Not sure whether it will be Rodgers who chooses. Will it be ayre?! Or god forbid, the fabled transfer committee?!! It would be interesting to learn who makes the footballing decisions at the club (apart from Rodgers).

spider-neil · « **Reply #998 on:** June 5, 2015, 05:36:11 pm »

What did Pascoe and Marsh do anyway?

Again, maybe he told Pascoe he was being demoted from No.2 and he wasn't happy. Maybe he felt he wasn't up to it at this level full stop. Maybe it was forced on him. Who knows.

It's pure guess work currently, and it's not that helpful.
