Rafa's new right hand man ?

[anfieldanfield]

If we need a fitness coach, I think it should be the black guy off fame academy.

:respect

Sign him up!

[Mono]

Paul Jewell please

Paul Jewell please

Fantastic idea

Barnes. Clothing advice only.

[tomasjj]

Paul Jewell please

Really?
What makes him a good choice?

[anfieldanfield]

Paul Jewell please

Not an awful shout.

He's available. He's knowledgeable. He's a top coach. He has the respect of fans and players alike. He deserves a big football job and I think he's good enough for Liverpool. And he's a realistic option.

C'mon like we're not gonna get Juande Ramos coming in to play second fiddle to Rafa. I think Paul Jewell is a good option and underrated by too many. He's a fast learner (as proven at Bradford) and has valuable Premiership experience.

Gary Macca would be nice too mind

Maybe he is, but I have no insight in how knowledgeable he is and if he is a good coach. I can only go by what he has done as a manager.

I reckon Rafa to get this right anyway, if things aren't smoothed out with Pako

I quite like that idea, we would almost certainly need another fitness specialist in as well if we went for him though. I guess that two people coming in is the most likely option anyway.

Could someone explain to me the exact difference between a coach and a manager? The coach is the trainer, he works on training regimes and patterns and fitness? How much influence on tactics etc. does he have? Which areas does the coach command solely (or close to) and which the manager?

Cheers

[El Jefecito]

I'll do whatever Rafa asks!!!!!!!!!!

[kendoddsdadsdogsdead]

I think the guy on the left would be ideal as a fitness coach and he appears to be nurturing the stars of tomorrow. He would be a BIG hit with the player's wives too.

Awooga!

Childish of me to laugh but there you go.

I'm not sure there is a strict definition. Historically the difference has been that in Britain the manager has handled a lot of administration along with having total responsibility for footballing matters at a club including signing players. This has allowed managers the freedom to some to degree to define their own role - for example Martin O'Neill rarely does any coaching, just tactical and motivational roles by all accounts. Whereas people like Terry Venables were very hands on.

On the continent the responsibility of signing players and the long term direction of a club along with much of the administration is handles by a director of football. The coach is then freed and limited to working with the first team players.
