Great news. Best day of the year for me, mind you with the sort of year I've had that isn't too difficult.
As for all those who keep on about what a great coach PT is (or was) I would be interested to know where exactly you thought that his coaching reflected in the actual play. Was it:
1. The great way in which the keeper belts the ball as far and as high as he can even if we are kicking into a strong wind?
2. Is it the invention and variety shown at corners where every corner is kicked long into the box?
3. Is it the invention shown at free kicks where anything to far away from a direct shot at goal is also belted long into the box?
4. Perhaps you are thinking of throw ins? Always taken by the same man depending on what side of the pitch and always thrown down the line hoping that Keds, Norris or even the giant Cody get their head on it.
5. It may be that you believe that the movement of players and invention seen at free kicks within shooting distance reflects PTs talent as a coach? Apart from the very occasional special effort 99% of free kicks within sight of goal are blasted into the wall or way over the bar. Certainly there was no coaching input whatsoever.
6. Perhaps it was the super fitness of the players with hardly any injuries and all able to perform at 100% for 90+ minutes?
The only thing that reflects favourably on PT to my mind is the potential of many of his signings. However one has to ask if these are players that he identified personally or if they are players spotted by Hess when he was spotting for Burnley last year.
