The S&C bloke was Cloggers assistant wasn't he? Went to Bradford at the end of last season?

Not sure, but listening to Mash thats probably correct. I remember getting told that we had employed a bright young bloke who was well qualified but he couldnt work under Clogger. Mash must know his qualities and seems to have no problem employing him again.

Not sure about that, this lad worked with Clogger for 6 years and left at the same time at the end of 2021 so i doubt thats the same person you're thinking of? Be a bit strange if so! Anyway good luck to all of them, there did seem to be an improvement in the conditioning side last year so lets hope they can build on that.

Didn't say you did, I'm asking you if it matters in terms of the job, or in other words do you think it might be a potential negative. No need to be so precious, it's just a question. I don't know him from Adam tbh.

It doesn't matter at all, i was literally just pointing that he has previous history with us. I reconised the name, whether its a positive or negative only time will tell that. Personally I doubt Mash would employ someone to what is probably the most important job on the staff after his who he doesn't think is up to it though otherwise it's his you know whats on the block.

Anyway from his Linkedin
