I hope this doesn’t lead to Rudd reverting back

Mike Pollitt wasn't a bad goalkeeper, I remember him being a part of the Wigan squad that first played in the Prem and was touted for England at the time. Gutted to hear that Gould has left though.

Gutted.

 

[LancasterRed]

Can't say it's an inspiring appointment, but I know the name which is a rarity with us.

Good luck to him.

Anyone know which club Pollitt is coming from?

Or have we just given him his first role?

 

[California_PNE]

Good luck all the best for the future Gould!

 

[TB1]

All the best in New Zealand JG.

It’s about whether he’s a good coach. Gould had worked with some decent clubs so had a good pedigree.

Fingers crossed

 

[California_PNE]

Saying that though, knowing our luck I wouldn't be surprised to see someone like everyone announce their new goalie coach later this week 😂

if Pollitt can improve Ripley then bobs your uncle!

Aye, I was just grateful i'd heard the mans name! Let's hope he's better than some of the previous ones we've had... Who was that GK coach we had under Westley 😱

Used to work at Rotherham and Bolton, think he worked with Marek Rodak when he was on loan at Rotherham if I’m not wrong, which he’s now turned into one of the best keepers in the league for Fulham.

I'd just rather Ripley left.

Nice - hoping he can wave his some magic one on Ripley!

Think he might need a bit more than that😂

I'd just rather Ripley left.

Hoping Blackburn come for him!

 

[Regardless]

Welcome Mike!

 

[MBcha]

Gutted, always liked Gould, dont really know much about Pollitt but he seems to come with a good reputation, hopefully he can build on the work already done with Rudd.

 

[cragtek]

Gould clearly did a great job but you have to give credit to Rudd as well for growing as a player. It starts with the individual.

Hopefully Dec can sustain that regardless.
