Quote: GET EM ON SIDE REF "Why he is a good coach he was a bloody good player and he has done a good job at Sheffield with very limited funds
I remember many on here saying Powell was at his level in the Championship was he? NO
What’s your problem was it he was a cocky halfback from Cas who kicked our ass over and over again as a player? He’s a good coach and few who really know the game would say the same'"
The Cas bit is irrelevant otherwise I would not be a massive Kear fan.
He was a decent player but he rarely kicked our asses, certainly not in the Yorkshire Cup, you're more than guilding the Lilly with that one.
I've never ever heard anyone wax lyrical about Aston - not ever and I know a few people.
As for Powell it took him years to get where he is now - you do know he coached Leeds for a couple of seasons don't you? Got a heck of a lot more experience than Aston ever will.
However I have no issue with Aston just that there are clearly better available and he was clearly the first name you pulled out of the bag to get a rise - I can only assume.
