[QUOTE="Ragey Erasmus, post: 1058699, member: 56232"] Well I'd say the entire coaching staff needs to be revamped with no mercy. Bring in people with a proven record from outside the club, there should not be a single internal appointment on the coaching staff. Next they need to instil a sense of pride and a desire to push hard into the players. We aren't going to be ***le contenders this season even if we get a miracle of a coaching team. What is achievable is getting the club to a point where we at least put up a fight and are difficult to beat. Just get the basics nailed down, cut out the penalties, cut out the compounding errors, cut out the headless chicken stuff and get the players to believe they can win if they keep it together. Longer term, remove the dead wood from the player pool create a set style for attack and defence and then bring in players who will compliment that style. All this relies on the first step of stripping out the coaching team and I can't see that happening. I think there will be too many people fully immersed in the existing culture who will obstruct attempts to transform the club for it to change. In a way the club is like the city, the city is full of NIMBYs who oppose for the sake of opposing even if it would be to their benefit. The club feels like it is the same, it doesn't want to move on and embrace a proper professional structure. It feels like an in-club for the haves rather than a professional outfit. [/QUOTE]
