I agree, I was just pointing out that the fact that they're an assistant does not mean they aren't a good coach. Greenacre probably has quite a bit of input in the attacking third, and was definitely in charge of set peices both parts of our game which we are woefull at, even though we've hired the best dead ball player in the league. 

Des Buckingham is still an unknown quantity and we don't really know the power of balance between the two, we assume that Greenacre is the defacto head but Buckingham has more coaching experience and was a first team coach at Oxford United.

I also think that coaches can be like players, we're going to attract one of three types of coach, the first is someone who has bad form or is close to the end of their career and can't get a gig elsewhere, the second is someone who's burnt out on football elsewhere and want's a league which is quieter and has less pressure with no relegation, etc. And the third is someone who is unproven but young and hungry.

I kind of want the young and hungry person which might be someone from a lower division who wants to step up, an assistant that wants to be a first team coach, or someone who was promoted to quickly or was coaching a team with bad cattle or political problems and wants a chance for redemption.
