I reckon he could potentially make a good coach....he clearly knows a lot about the game and would have a lot of knowledge to impart. Whether he has the mental capacity and general intelligence to do the job is another matter.

Tactically I think he'd be stellar. He'd do a far better job than Slick Mick, who really doesn't have a clue.

I think the discipline to maintain a professional schedule and get through the season would be the challenge for him. It was a struggle for Basil, once the pressure was on cracks started appearing. He could motivate the players far more than the likes of Potter but there was always the risk of implosion.

Long would have to detach himself from being one of the lads. He wouldn't be able to go drinking and partying with the players and I think thats where he would struggle.

i think he would be a better no2 rahter than having the pressure and detachment of being a head coach - working under someone like Daniel Anderson he would work well.

like you say, having the ability to detach himself from being one of the lads would be his biggest struggle....a problem that Bobbby Goulding has experienced in his coaching career. Although, Goulding is far more of a nutter than Long.

How about having Sean Long and Bobbie Goudling as a coaching combo? That has potential.

From what he has to say about how badly he was handled by the Saints board at the end , i doubt he will even use a urinal properly whilst there, but speaks with love over the fans!!

Treated badly?
"look longy your no spring chicken, take a year and we'll see how you get on eh?"
Thats not badly, thats just sensible, as was him taking a better, 2yr deal at Hull.

Long is not one of the great thinkers of the game. He is unlikely to get a coaching job of any kind.

icon_confused.gif:

in his book he has nothing but great things to say about the way that Eamonn and the board treated him towards the end of his career. they told him well in advance of the tampering deadline that he had a 1 year contract if he wanted it, and if not he was free to talk to other clubs.
