New coach - now we know

[Coastalraider]

Let’s be completely honest, apart from Monty being a local hero, this guys groundwork is significantly better. More coaching, also with juniors but in a much much better comp, with better youth and under better systems and head coaches than the dumpster fire was that Monty walked into as a coach.

I get the love for Cahn, but I can see the potential of this. I’m excited.

And saying ‘good coaches in England stay in England’ - I counter that with ‘good coaches in Australia go to England(UK) as well, of which 2 have actually been able to do that I can think of, Ange and Monty. Saying hes not good enough for UK footy therefore not good enough for a low budget A league team is a bit of a long straw to draw.

If he was part of the coaching team under Bielsa he has to be a good coach ...Bielsa did not suffer fools ... end of
Leeds youth academy actually got better under him ...

This is probably going to piss Ben Cahn fans off….
Yes, on paper given his history with the club. Ben was a great candidate. His NPL track record is good and all. But would those Ben Cahn fans put their mortgages on a guarantee that he would be a success and continue the upward trajectory? No. No one would. No one would do the same for this new bloke, whom we know nothing genuine about except a few interviews and articles. And that’s the point.
But is this new blokes resume as a youth coach better? Yes. Would he have better connections in the UK for potential visa signings that Ben? Most likely. I’d say yes off face value. Have we seen this new blokes tactical philosophy on paper? No.
We’ve seen he set a team up to desperately fight relegation in a shit league.
Ben Cahn didn’t get the job. Move on.
Back this bloke until he proves we shouldn’t.
We can predict it’ll be a shit fight all we want (based off one bad gig at f**king MK Dons who were always getting relegated) but who’s to say it’ll turn out that way.

The instant hate is bemusing.

If he doesn't make it, the questions won't just be directed at him.

Not just that, the question will then be asked why wasn't it Cahn.

But that doesn't matter at the moment, like I said I will give him a chance.

Jets just got an assistant coach from Sydney FC.

We got an assistant coach from Leeds and we are acting like the sky has fallen in.

Isn’t he the Coach?

People just need to accept that his CV is better than Ben’s. Even with a relegation.
And ofcourse they’re going to take Monty’s endorsement as a key factor.

Sorry, both WERE assistants, now both are head coaches.

 

[pilbaramariner]

what licence does he hold? couldn't find info on the website that I was looking at

https://www.transfermarkt.com/mark-jackson/profil/trainer/77117

funny enough he was on the 1st page of the available candidates from England I was looking at and totally brushed him off.
I can't help but feel underwhelmed with the signing still unfortunately
?he get the best out of the players.

 

[Deej]

We all have to give the guy a chance, however I do fear “the years of mediocrity starts again”.

 

[nero]

Can't be worse or lower than the Perth game and using replacement goals with wheels. Plus the kids missing the fireworks.
I'm happy to give him a shot.

 

[FFC Mariner]

She copped a few replies too that she may not find so funny

 

[Stuartmcateer]

Did they not just look up? ??‍♂️ ????

 

[Josho Howe]

Ben deserved better.

 

[MikeyHundred]

The prophecy is fulfilled, we have replaced championship winning manager with phill moss again! Can’t wait for him to be sacked after a jets away day only to be replaced with a modern Walmsy.

Eventually we’ll get another Monty in the form of Ben Cahn

 

[LG__]

Assuming his staff is still to be decided given the lack of mention.

No one wanted to follow him. Promising

 

[Ancient Mariner]

but that fact even got recommended by monty suggests obvious monty has respect for the guy

Not necessarily the best reason.
Remember, Arnie recommended Phil Moss.

 

[Ironbark]

A Leeds youth coach ought to have the skills to develop young players. Would definitely have some decent connections too. If he is a recommendation of Monty's I'm sure Monty/Serg will sling good prospects his way too.

There will no doubt be an adjustment period. Barring clear head scratching moments (see Okon/Mulvey) we'll have to wear it with patience. Give it a season at least.

I was keen on Cahn but the club got it right with Monty so happy to go on this ride and see. It worked out pretty damn well last time!

Welcome, Mark.

 

[FFC Mariner]

Not necessarily the best reason.
Remember, Arnie recommended Phil Moss.

And no one else has hired him since

Did they not just look up? ??‍♂️ ????

No. Because they were behind the stadium. On a diagonal but out of sight. Kids had to run the length of the stadium to try and watch them while the terrible game was still going.
