Irreplaceable

According to wor Ronnie:

Bobby Robson is unlikely to appoint a No.2 following the departure of Mick Wadsworth.

But the Newcastle United boss may appoint another coach to strengthen his backroom staff.

Although Wadsworth's official title was head coach, he was Robson's confidante and all but assistant manager.

However, Robson has made no move to replace him even though there has been no shortage of applicants.

Robson and first team coach John Carver have borne the brunt of United's work on the training ground and things are going well enough.

Certainly the United boss seems happy enough, saying: "We have had plenty of people applying for the job since Mick Wadsworth (pictured) left us to join Southampton.

"But we are all right at the moment. It was never going to be a panic situation so I am just waiting to see who is available."

So just who is going to drive YBR to and from the matches? From what I've seen, that's about all Wadsworth did. More fuel to the argument that an internal replacement (Shearer) will be made - in which case, a good experienced coach would be essential.

If YBR is in no great hurry to replace Wadsworth, that doesn't say much for what Wadsworth did, or didn't, do.

Though to be fair, Screach, I did notice Wadsworth also spent alot of time keeping YBR awake talking to Bobby at the training ground. ;-)

Wadsworth is a master at coaching players in clapping, but is a useless clapper himself. ;-)
