TIL 1010 4,745 Posted November 11, 2018 Joins from SC Paderborn and heads straight out with the squad for warm weather training in the US. Looks to be Matt ' Scummer ' Gill's replacement. A very unGerman sounding name if i may say so. http://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/german-reports-suggest-outgoing-paderborn-coach-is-headed-to-norwich-city-1-5772345 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,533 Posted November 11, 2018 Sooner have Christopher Robin.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted November 11, 2018 Not a replacement for Gill as he is joining the first team coaching and video analysis team. Imagine David Wright will take over the u23s. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TIL 1010 4,745 Posted November 11, 2018 So are you saying that if Gill had not left he would have joined the staff anyway ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted November 11, 2018 Don’t know, maybe not, but he won’t be doing the same job as Gill. He is an additional first team coach - a good thing as Norwich always seemed a bit light in the coaching team. If Wright does get the U23 gig will be interesting to see who gets the U18s - Adrian Forbes potentially. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FenwayFrank 2,459 Posted November 11, 2018 I don’t think John would be coming here if Farke wasn’t going to stay a bit longer 😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TCCANARY 263 Posted November 12, 2018 Till, a short form of the Norman name Mathilde, Matilda, composed of the Germanic elements "maht" meaning might, strength, plus "hild" battle. You should be proud of your roots. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Interestingly I counted the number of coaching/backroom staff on Saturday and there were 9 on the pitch. One guy collects the balls and another the bibs and cones so I’m guessing they were ‘kit men’ then there was the gk coach, that still leaves another 6 and that didn’t include Farke.

John was on the bench, Domogalla, Fluthmann and Riemer would also there. There would also be the club doctor and at least one physio. Did the club ever announce who replaced Dean Kiely as goalkeeping coach? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
