I agree and especially with the bits in bold I highlighted. It's very strange to go with an appointment like this in the clubs 150th season but then it's very strange doing things like letting Tommy go around again, signing Thornley and hoping Miski can adapt to SL for the same reason. For the clubs 150th year it's got an experimental coaching team and a squad few are happy with.CheshireWarrior wrote: ↑Fri Oct 15, 2021 3:30 pm
Personally I agree with you. The club seems to have this romantic idea that either promoting from within or appointing assistant coaches speaks volumes about the club!
For me, we are too prolific and successful to have this almost experimental attitude. As is stands now, this is going to be either an exceptional appointment in Peet (as everyone is singing his praises at the club) or a complete disaster, no in-between.
I say this because after last season and the hype around this 150th season, it has to be a season of silverware and not falling short. That to means its a huge task ahead for a coach with no actual experience as a head coach.
Without being cynical, if Peets appointment is purely financial, it such a shame and could prove costly in many ways, that said, the club seem confident we have our man?
You can bet there will be a lot of hype and marketing about the 150th season and quite right too. There should be but it's got to be matched by what happens on the pitch.
