Coyle's 'coaches' to leave - yipee!

WANDERERS have agreed terms with Crystal Palace to bring development coach Jamie Fullarton to the Reebok.

The former Scotland Under-21 international is the latest name to follow Dougie Freedman from Selhurst Park, after the earlier appointments of assistant boss Lennie Lawrence and first-team coach Curtis Fleming.

Palace goalkeeping coach Lee Turner has also been offered a role in the Whites’ new-look coaching set-up and his appointment could be confirmed by the end of the week.

Fullarton has also accepted an offer, having been taken to Selhurst Park by Freedman after a spell in charge of the youth team at Bristol Rovers.

The 37-year-old played one game on loan with Wanderers from Crystal Palace in the late 1990s and also had spells with Brentford and Southend.

It is expected the new appointments will mean that current goalkeeping coach Phil Hughes and development coach John Henry will leave the Reebok.

The pair were both brought in by Owen Coyle soon after his arrival in January, 2010.

Sources in London also claim Wanderers made an offer to Palace’s fitness coach Scott Guyett but that the Australian has decided to stay on with the London club after being given assurances over his role by new Eagles boss Ian Holloway.

Is that the same Jamie Fullarton that played on loan for us about 10 year ago? He was shit.

Any news about Coyle's backroom staff leaving is good news!

I thought John Henry was here before Coyle or am I thinking of someone else?

I am pleased that Coyle's backroom staff are leaving. They did for Coyle.

I'll get my coat.

Yes it is.

There is an old saying, ' Them that can't do, teach'.

Losing Fred Barber was an absolute joke move by Coyle. Bogdan does seem to have gotten worse than he was last year, glad to be getting rid of the goalkeeping coach.
