Having seen a few papers linking us to Mimms as a coach I have to ask why??

Eric Steele is spoken off in the highest terms from what I have been told, Surely we don't need two Goalkeeping coaches do we.

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/200...15875-20672089/

Its quite rare for Goalkeepers to become top outfield coaches, and surely the only position we have left to fill is the reserve team coach.

Can anyone shed any light on why we are moving for him?

Ferguson says United have approached someone to take over as goalkeeping coach from Tony Coton (forced to retire) ans expect it to be done this week. Could be Steele if he's that good.... After all it seems to be Open House for anyone to be taken from Ewood these days. Just ask and their gone...

MEN reporting it will be Steele. Says we are lining up Bobby Mimms to replace him. Suppose it shows that he is highly rated and maybe people should hang fire before being so quick to dismiss Ince's appointments. I remember comments like what can this old man teach Friedel etc?

Frustrating we are going to lose him so quick but before people chuck themselves off the building in despair just explain how we can stop someone going.

Or atleast give us a run through of all the other Goalkeeping coaches in the Premier League, showing how we're in a far better position with Mimms and none of them can compare to the mighty Rovers anyway.

Over to you, Philip.

Good shout by nicko on the Steele situation, reported it weeks before it was picked up on elsewhere.

What the hell is Steele playing at? He must have known about interest from the red scum before he joined rovers. Can't see that he suddenly went from being out of favour (wasn't he out of work?) to being the hottest property around just on the strength of landing a position at Rovers.

Anyhow, the Wolverhampton paper seems to speak in the highest possible regard of Mimms and it's nice to have one of our old faces back at the club imo.

Yeh its nice to see an old face back.

Don't know what Steele was up to, had Coton confirmed his retirement when Steele was available? Wouldn't be surprised if RFW was on holiday at the time when Steele was released, that was why he took so long to comment on Ronaldo.

But anyways I think of it in a way that we never really had Steele so nothing lost there. The real positive here is if Robinson goes on to do well we can put it down to the fantastic new goalkeeping coach Bobby Mimms, if Robinson turns out to be a disaster then it was all that Eric Steele's fault ;)

Couldn't give a flying one about Steele. He's just done what lots of people in the game do when Utd offer them a job - just quicker than usual.

Instead we've got a former player, someone with a great record at Wolves and someone who's been through and beaten exactly the same crisis in confidence that's affecting Robbo. All in all a very welcome signing!

Jim Furnell????????? Maybe not........

Is it? We just lost one in Eddie N.....

Ince is certainly having a few bad days at the office, but it's all character building stuff as they say.

No doubt the doom-mongers will find someway to blame this on Incey. I personally think it shows good management (again) on PI's behalf to snaffle Mr Blobby. Not sure how long he's been there, but they've had a few rated goalies in the past, and after all - he is an old boy.

At least we've had some decent goalkeeping coaches in recent seasons, I know Hitchy was highly liked & rated as a GK coach too.

BTW chaps, two stunningly well-made points that Bobby should be able to help Robbo on the confidence and benefit from being in a similar position, and also that we're in a no-lose situation as we either congratulate Mimms or slate Steele! Great success !

Welcome back Bobby, always nice to see ex players coming back in a coaching role.

Lots of good press from his time at Wolves and how ironic that Mimms himself was forced out of Spurs for a few howlers and turned out to be a very decent goalie in his time at Rovers, lets hope he can boost Robinsons confidence and sharpish!
