I'm sure the youth system is in good and trusted hands, even if it is still overseen by TP currently.
TP keeping the role until the end of the season is ideal for the club, even more so if he keeps us up (i 100% think he would do) - it would then allow a new man to be brought in and for him to bring in his own assistant and players.
However, there does need to be consistancy within a club, TP remaining with the youths is a given, Gerrard should stay as a GK coach and i believe that Murray and Byrne should stay as well, not even giving the new man the option - they could prove vital in coaching and also playing too (particularly Byrne)
That consistancy can then help us to gain stability and also progression in the league, managers talk about about a 2/3/4 year plan - this is what we need, a manager that wants a project, to bring youth players through and intergrate them into a team of experienced professionals along with ex-youth players too.
Follow this philosophy and i believe we are on our way to building up some success in the next few years.
But, i'll repeat from earlier that i believe that Dowie is the only man who can achieve this, good relations with current coaching staff proving vital.
