Because he was a dimwit player, the dimwit forerunner of Craig Noone. Used to always put his head down and run diagonally towards the corner flag, ignoring all aspects of the play around him. And now we're supposed to blindly accept the same dimwit player as some kind of visionary coach? F*CK...
Quite odd really how some of the dimmer dimwit players of the Withdean era (Oatway, Jones) have somehow managed to wangle decent backroom jobs. Fair play to them though for seizing the main chance when it presented itself.
Good grief! :facepalm:
Still if Charlie Oatway can somehow blag a gig in the Premier League, there's hope for anybody. Footballing equivalent of a lottery win.
