Hudgell said on Sport Talk last night that Crooks was still under contract but refused to be drawn further. He seemed in a right arsey mood for some reason.

His title will be Head of Youth Devolpment

Giving him that job will be a bigger mistake than appointing Hatton as conditioner.

Steve was player performance manager not head of youth. Both are posts in their own right.

His coaching methods are so outdated its untrue.

You know that i know a few players down there and literally nobody has anything positive to say about him and many even said they recieved better coaching at their club sides.

He may be good for spotting talent however if he is the person who is going to be in charge of bringing through our youth players from now on i dread to think what training they will recieve.

Good job he wont be coaching then

We've all had coaches whose training methods we havent liked, it dont mean they are bad though

On flip side, you ask anybody who has been coached by Billy Mallo at Skirlaugh etc, they all rate him as one of the best theyve ever had, yet hes never coached since , why ??
