Id be happy for Des and Greenie being there for the season.

Greenie has had many years on the fringes and i think he deserves a chance at this level. He speaks well, and was a very experienced pro.

Des is the unknown to us, but very qualified. If he's happy to assist Greenie id be happy. Not sure if co coaches are sustainable as there must be a time where both disagree. That's when you need a gaffer, the gaffer then falls on his sword if all goes wrong.

Unfortunately this is not a profession where length of service is enough of a merit.  We should be scoring more goals with Greenie in  charge, or even with him as an assistant coach, since scoring goals was his main skill as an out-and-out striker. The least he could do, he should be teaching  Roy how to take penalties effectively.
