Whilst Ling might have put him forward, I can’t see anyone joining the coaching set up without Richie’s approval.

I wonder that as Daryl was on the wage bill already (looking after the players that didn't travel to away games), the board have stipulated that his time needs to be used more to justify his wages.

I struggle with the concept that McMahon knows more about set piece plays than RW, Terry or Harold. Especially as most of his career has been spent at a lower level than those three. Maybe he does. It’s an odd appointment at face value to say the least. But it allows others to focus elsewhere. Maybe that’s the true value.
Of course it can give rise to all sorts of speculation, but they can spend as they see fit and if a set play coach tops our list of priorities, so be it.

I am very uneasy with this appoitment for a number of reasons firstly, We have Nigel constantly berating us for not spending our hard earned, in th ground on match days " The club needs the money" etc. Everything in the club shop is way overpriced etc, yet they can afford to give McMahon a wage of several thousand pounds per annum. As donut said, why should McMahon be able to train players better than RW can? This stinks to b honest. Nepotism comes to mind. Ling is mates with McMahon, and I presume he gave his out of work mate a job. Thats it |

Thats it What I was thinking was that with DM focusing on set plays under the guidance of RW, it frees up RW to focus on other things. So the value being more time for others to do their thing. Perhaps in areas more important that set plays. But it does give rise to all sorts of speculation. But fact is we don’t know all the reasons for this appointment and can only assume a priority was identified and satisfied. one that goes beyond corners and free kicks. Who knows. |

Our defence of set pieces was extremely good on Saturday. The McMahon effect?

As I think you’ve mentioned previously Doh, frees up the main coaching team to concentrate on what they know best. Got to be that I’m sure. 4 coaches seems a lot though. But it’s their money and NT pays the bills so I’m sure he is just backing the coaching team. But we managed quite well last season. Sort of questions the need for Matt Harold. Lots of chiefs. |

This subject of our set piece coach seems to have resurfaced on the “ other board” once again . I really find it difficult to believe that (a) McMahon was appointed just because he is a “ mate” of the DoF or that (b) his hiring will have any impact on the club’s willingness/ ability to get a player or two in the door come January . Seems like an opportunity to bash Ling is never missed by some!😕

Don’t mind them moaning when it’s justified but I think this seems to be a manufactured attempt to create discord.

It is a game of opinions,but after the dreadful time when we thought we had lost Leyton Orient I have been grateful for every match I see.Don't like everything I see and try to leave any grievance at the stadium.I would like to see us score from a corner before I shoot through though.

We all appreciate the history red but life moves on and we need to deal with the here and now. As for the appointment. The Ling issue is one of association. If you identify a need and know someone capable of fitting the bill then it makes absolute sense to go down that route. Appointing someone to fill a need using contacts is very different to creating a job for a mate. I doubt very much if Ling created a job for a mate. As for the role. If the job frees up the other coaches to focus elsewhere then I can understand it. If it’s to manage set plays then I can’t, I doubt he brings in any skills not already in the club. However you view it our form has not improved since his arrival, the real test. So it therefore becomes a debatable appointment. Has his arrival made a difference that we see on the pitch? Cant see it myself. |
