If you watch the dugout during the game you’ll see them both in deep conversation a lot Edited January 20, 2020 by boydiesback -2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So AD clearly respects Donatti's input on tactical changes etc. Edited January 20, 2020 by C4mmy31 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, it's possible to disagree with a fellow supporter's opinion without describing them in those terms. I don't know Piffer personally but I would say, from what I know of him from his posts on here, that he is neither of those things.

malcr0 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Hamilton have one of the best youth set ups in the country. I would be interested to know how much involvement Donati had with it. I would imagine if Dyer didn’t want to work with him he wouldn’t be there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conorsammonbaldyhead Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 A good friend of mine worked at St. Mirren when donati was there (he was part of Jack Ross's transfer team but is still at Sunderland as they wanted to keep him). He told me when donati came he was outstanding at St mirren and that it was a great move for us. He was apparently vey good at the technical coaching side and got the best out of players like Morgan, also a good man manager keeping morale high around the place. I for one don't disagree with keeping donati on, he obviously wasn't part of the problem and Dyer and Fow clearly think he's with keeping on. Dyer taking an interest in the warm up is what the players are used to, why change it is he doesn't need to. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once @boydiesback has been described by Pasca as a "legend" as Piffer has he can consider lacing Piffers goalie gloves! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Piffer is many things to many people, but he is neither of those things. You really need to wind your neck in with nonsense like that. I'm sure that the big chap will be crying into his goalies gloves, maybe never to recover. Edited January 20, 2020 by funky monkey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Could it be that Donati is a good coach. Or is that to simple ? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no objections to him stepping up to assistant manager assuming that's what's happened. I'd like to see Dyer get the opportunity to bring in another coach too though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scouser2 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 Think it’s a genuine debate re the coaching set up , most new Managers are usually given the backing to at least bring in one Assistant they know The Manager appointed in the summer was asked or agreed to keep Dyer on but was also given the backing and budget to bring in extra coaching staff , as well as getting a decent salary package himself, then AA was shown the door with also the Italian keeper coach moving out Now AD has got the job (at the moment on a short term basis) From reports his only change was moving Billy Thomson up as first team keeper coach again , was he given the choice or budget to make other coaching changes ? or it could be just that Dyer is happy to continue working with Donatti assisting ...if that is the case then hopefully they can work together......and it proves a success and AD gets a longer contract 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In early watching the warmup and Dyer is out doing most of the work. Donati handing out bibs and balls. We can’t give Dyer the job until the end of the season if we don’t offer him the support and a proper staff. Agree -6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has played for some massive clubs in Italy and played and scored in the Champions League for Celtic. Its pretty disrespectful to completely write off his ability as a coach solely because he was brought in by the previous manager. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the original post it was purely Donati's lack of involvement with the warm up that was questioned. This would lead me to wondering what his day to day input is? It would appear that nobody really knows and we assume that as AD has kept him involved that he is happy with his contribution. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
