I have just watched the video of Nigel's introduction to the media. Susan Whelan took the time to thank Rudkin, Stowell and Beaglehole for their efforts. Does anyone know what their current status is? Are they still with the club?

Yes of course they are. They will just go back to their normal roles at the club (Goalkeeping coach and academy coach)

I see no reason why not - They were here when Pearson was here last time and are responsible for the youth set up. They will simply revert back to that

Would be amazed if they were asked to leave!!
Rudkin is a class youth team coach!

Good. I assumed that was the case, but new managers do sometimes make changes to the back room staff that don't get reported as headline news.

I'd expect them to stay afterall Rudkin and beaglehole have been here years - back to MoN days I believe - Stowell is starting to collect dust aswell, think he has been here since Levein / Rob Kelly days.
If they were no good then managers gone by would of had them out but they've seen many come and go

I believe the club, and certainly Pearson, are looking to build up our coaching staff rather than dismantle it. I feel this area was something which we weren't strong enough in under Sven.

Mike Stowell has to be the best crosser of a ball seen down the City since Lenny Glover
