Quote ="Big Dave T"Well i know that Sharp, Agar and the rest aren't respected by the U18s never mind the first team.'"
I would agree with that. The fact is that some people have a certain aura about them that commands respect without doing very much at all. Bomber had it in abundance. The lads only had to think he was anywhere around for the training camp mood to go up a notch. Kear had it while Bomber was there then lost it. Peter Sharp never had it. Others gain respect through knowledge and leadership.
I have to say that Andy Last has more respect among the youngsters. Whatever folk might say to the contrary I have seen him working and he is good at what he does. Having said that there is of course a vast difference between coaching at under 21 level than there is to dealing with the complexities of pitting your wits against Superleague coaches, some of whom are very good at what they do.
