Why there is no question raised or answers sought WHATSOEVER towards the role and responsibility of Mr Taggart is troubling?
Dickov has appointed Taggart as his assistant manager granted, Lee Duxbury appears to be juggling a role as 1st team coach AND reserve team manager…..What is Taggart assisting?
An assistant managers role is a complex and challenging one. He's got to be the manager's right-hand man, and yet he's got to be the players' trusted confidante. Players would probably agree the assistant's role is to form the bridge between the team and the manager.
The assistant manager is the footballer's footballer, someone to look up to, who's done it all before. He is a man who can relate to the team, who can play good cop to the manager's bad cop, and smooth out any disagreements. On a Monday morning, when there are a bunch of aggrieved players on the training pitch, an assistant's job is to keep everybody happy and be compassionate.
Is this Gerry Taggart…………? Maybe Dickov has made a novice choice here that could cost him his role as manager?.
