The more i think about it, the more it makes sense to appoint his as first team manager from within.

Last night we played some excellent well drilled football, and it was an absolute pleasure, and if he can get the youth team playing some of the best football seen at the Lane for donkeys years, then i can't see any reason why he can't replicate that with the first team squad.

With the crop of youth team players coming through, i think there is a better chance of them making the grade as quality first team players if there is some continuity, and having the same manager managing their progression to the first team seems to make make perfect sense, as we are in a position where we don't have a manager, and can pick whatever style of manager we want.

What i would do next season is gradually ease the youth team players in to the first team, and get them in alongside experienced pro's where they can gather experience and learn their trade. I also think Pembo has it in him to chance the culture of the club, whilst keeping us hard to beat, i think he could also get us playing a quick expansive passing game that would be attractive to watch.

If we was to appoint Pemberton as manager, i would also like to see someone come in as director of football to handle all aspect of contract talks, transfer negotiations and all the stuff that detracts a manager attention from what happens on the pitch.

As food for thought, Reading play Swansea in a couple of weeks, and both are managed by ex-youth team managers

Given a blank canvas to start with maybe but at the moment the 1st team squad contains the likes of Monty, Doyle and Hendo for example and no magic wand would integrate those three into the way Pembo's team played last night.

A little bird tells me it ain't gonna be Pembo....

That is the point exactly and the main reason Pemberton is having the success he is, is because the young players respect and trust him to give them a fair start in life.
Transfer that to the first team with it's wealthy members...what would they care?
Leave Pemberton where he is until he can find a like mind to manage the Academy then integrate him into the then familiar development squad and there you have the continuity, and maybe then he might be willing to take the top job,,,IF he wants it.

He would like the job, powers that be want him to stay where he is.

Blimey, so if Pembo is lucky he might be deemed worthy of the top job by the time he's 50!

Players who don't care don't play!

great it gets better.. no magic wand anywhere in the world will integrate those three into anything less than an ice hockey outfit..
interesting to consider that the playoff final will contain at least four former blades who have been rejected recently .. they are leigertwood, howard, dyer and britton.. considerered not good enough for us though?

I think thats a little unfair, Ice Hockey is quite a skilful sport.
