For those interested in Andy's views (as mentioned above) who do not go onto the other site (and once did) here they are.
Have to say Andy is pretty honest in admitting a mistake. I thought people don't do that on the internet.
For those who have never been on there, Andy's dislike of Costello was dialled up to eleven, repeatedly, so much so that we thought Costello might have run away with his wife, burgled his house or something similar- it was so personal.
From DW:
I gave him a very hard time and put my hand up to say he’s proving me wrong now.
What I was seeing when he joined the club was a shocking defence and within a couple of months Blackett had been completely marginalised. He was no longer running the pre match warm up, bringing on the water and instructions, running the Prem Cup side and then Gleeson came in as an ‘additional attack coach’.
Reading back to when Costello arrived as ‘skills and exits coach’, Dai said he was personally going to oversee the defence after Blake departed. Maybe I blamed the wrong bloke when Costello became defence coach if Dai was overseeing it, and he decided to change the approach. It was when Blackett was linked with the head honcho role at Coventry that the club moved and released Dai.
Surely no coincidence that since he left the defence has improved immensely under Costello and Blackett and we’ve been a different side in all areas.
Sorry Elvis, I got it wrong.
So there we go- Costello officially not the problem for Andy any more.
I should add thanks for the article- very informative.
