Dallas

Stuart Dallas has unfortunately had to retire from professional football. Can't say its a surprise to hear given its taking him an awful 2.5 years to recover. Pleasingly the club have stated that they in progressive talks about staying at the club in a future role which we can all look forward to 👏

no place for sentiment in football anymore

Except when it comes to Leeds and Bamford.

LIW, that's exactly it

wanted to hear Battys thoughts because I'm sure he comes to conclusions on here say

^^^

Not on about him coaching Leeds United.

Wish people just read instead of just assuming sh 1 t.


Why do I think Dallas would make a good/great coach:

For one, he's been around some talented coaches throughout his career. Most obvious of which is Bielsa.
He's proven to be a smart player. Adapts to the needs
asked of him. To great effect.

He's played at different levels within the game. He's played at the international level. So he's come up against top talent. And top managers. Did I mention
that he's smart. He's one of life's learners.

Most importantly, he was never the most gifted player.
He wasn't flooded with incredible talent. He had to
work hard and use his brain and football IQ to succeed.

For the same reason I think Messi would make a sh 1 t
coach, I think the opposite for Dallas. Messi and players
who just have this natural/supernatural ability in whatever sport they're in find it hard to teach other
players what the 'IT' factor is that makes them go.
This doesn't apply to every great player. But it does a lot.

Whereas Dallas had to do more with limited resources.
And did. So that puts him in a unique place when it
comes to coaching. I also think he loves the game.
Add to that, his playing career has come to an abrupt
end not of his choosing. I bet he has a fire in his belly
to prove himself now within the coaching ranks.

And I bet he does. Love the player. Love the man.
And I reckon I'll love the coach too. Wherever he ends
up working.

Perfectly summed up Batty

A sad day for Stuey and his family, but he gave us his best and for me, the winning goal at the Etihad will be his legacy, fighting against the odds, right to the final whistle.
Does he have a role in our future? I think the 49'ers would only keep him if they saw some value in what he can offer.
Best of luck, Stuey, and thanks for all you have done for LUFC.

Would any of you have him involved with the U21s next season?

He's one of life's learners.

-----------------

kin el, know him do you? - give over Batty, don;t half talk a lot nonsense mate

wonderful if he's the next Pep, I'll be loving it, what a man.

but there's zero evidence to suggest he'd be this all star coach you suggest, totally different skill set.

have you seen the vdieos of Pep or Arteta lose their temper in the dressing rooms? I just can't see Dallas doing taking charge like that personally, be hey, I'm only guessing like you are.

totally different skill set though,

Spanish

He’s has made a load of assumptions (Strangely all fit his agenda) and then makes out like its fact. 🤦🤦🤦

its weird,

we've seen, 'an arm round manager', 'lifes learner' - 'activities off the pitch'

based on what?

and then, 'played at all levels', 'international player' - hardly at top level, but that doesn't make or break a manager anyway, how many players have played at this level?

I think people assume being a manager / coach is a given... how many other factors involved.

Delivery, respect, knowledge, experience, managing ego's, politics, PR...

love Dallas for the years he gave us, but the actual facts are he was bang average, MB got the absolute best out of him, and he was a loyal servant for the club.

thats it.

if somebody at the club sees something in him, great.

Where do you start with that 🤦🤦🤦

Dallas will be a better coach than Messi, because he worked harder, has a player 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️
