A question more than a rumour, but one i'm hoping the Eds can help with.

Rather than looking at more / new centre backs, is it possible that we will instead sign a new defensive coach? Its no secret that our defence has been shocking under Rodgers. No one cared last year as we were banging the goals in and that distracted from the problem, but without the SAS2 this season all eyes have been on our leaky back line.

The thing is none of the players are bad - Sakho looks good for France, Coates and Ilori have looked solid on loan, Louvren was a rock for Southampton, and Skrtel is tried and tested in our team. so maybe the problem is the tactics / the interception between players and tactics?


Bearing in mind a bit of clear out of the backroom is ongoing have we looked to any new senior defensive coaches to maybe address this?

{Ed002's Note - There is no doubt that new coaching staff will be arriving. I have explained that the club will already know the direction it will want to be going with that.}

Would you be open to discussing what/which direction that maybe Ed002?

{Ed002's Note - Please feel absolutely free to discuss it amongst your selves, but it is not something I want to get in to AG. I know everyone got a little damp patch with Hyppia, Carragher, Barton and Ayestaran being mentioned over the weekend, but for now it is supposition as far as I know.}

Is the Barton thing sarcasm?

{Ed002's Note - Everything is supposition right now.}

Ed can u at least confirm that the new coaching staff will be people with experience and not ex players. No need for names. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - The reason I don't want to get in to this is because the supporters are obsessed by wanting back people who have been at the club before. I really don't want to get in to these discussions as it easily becomes abusive with all of this "boot room" and 1970s nonsense.}

It's cool ed. I have my fingers crossed for some much needed experience.

I'm not. I want the right people to come in to help us. Not just an ex player for the sake of it.

Hi ed002 thanks for all your hard work and honesty . just for interest sake who do u think the club should get in for the open vacancies ?

{Ed002's Note - I have no feeling about it, but would think perhaps Pako Ayestaran and Jesse Marsch could do a fine job. I don't know if Rene Meulensteen would be a viable option, but we will see. Whilst Sami Hyypia has said he wants in, I would not go down that road.}
