Does Chapman have any decent Coaching Qualifications?

[C.Gull]

Noted that Chapman is leaving Whitehawk to take up full time position with the Albion.
Is this another cheap addition or does he have the necessary Qualifications for a side that intends to improve its self.
In fact I would be interested to learn of the coaching qualifications of the other staff at Withdean.
I note the pre-season matches are planned with non-league teams, is the coaching going along the same lines?

Interesting.

Dean Wilkins is often referred to on here as the 'cheap option', yet has a string of coaching qualifications.

Chapman is a born winner, Wilkins is not

Chapman for manager of the 1st team , sooner rather than later.

I'm sure you say these things as a wind up.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

Give the bloke a chance. He is an Albion man. Wilkins would not want him if he didn't rate him.

Far better Chapman than some footballing mercenary who is here today gone tomorrow.

We have got a promising young manager who is loyal to our Club - I am happy with that.

A certain Mr. Hendrik Johannes Cruijff (that's Johan Cruyff to most of us) didn't have any qualifications when he first started coaching either - don't think many people would have complained if he'd been offered a coaching job at their club.

Coaching isn't about paper qualifications.

Wilkins HATES you. He thinks you smell like a bad tip.

I will try not to lose any sleep over it Al.

I would much rather have Chapman is charge than Wilkins if we must appoint from within, Chapman was a winner on the pitch and Wilkins was a lightweight, chapman would inspire much more respect and attitude from the players and not take any shit from them imho.

I am confident Wilkins will be sacked by November after his shortcomings cannot be ignored anymore and Ian will step into the breach and we can at last move forward as a team and as a club.

Les is right. It must be a wind-up.

There are so many holes in that argument, you could market it as a new Swiss cheese. *

Do you just talk bollocks for the sake of it? How confident are you that Wilkins will be sacked by November ? (10 %, 25 %, 70 %, 100%) ?

Always the sign of a good coach....somebody who 'does not take any shit'.....

How do you know Wilkin's takes shit from the players? From what I have seen he doesn't take any crap.

What type of player you are doesn't define you as a coach, look at George Graham.

Or Alex Ferguson. Or Arsene Wenger. Or Nobby Stiles. Or Bobby Moore.

Great players / crap managers and vice versa.

Then today is your lucky day Unc. I will offer you odds of 4/1 on Wilkins being sacked by 30th November 2007. Free money right? How much do you want on it, LARGE I assume?

Coaching isn't about paper qualifications.

and the chosen one, Jose, started off as Bobby Robson's interpreter.

And, Bryan Robson has got coaching qualifications so make of that what you will.
