Does anyone know around what time we might sign some assistant coaches? Surely they will have to quite soon as we will need them by the start of the preseason. Hopefully we can sign S.O.S as a backs coach and Voss or Ratten as a midfield coach.

I think Mitchell's contract expires at the end of October, so maybe nothing until then.
If he goes and Voss retires he would make a good assistant, though it would be great to see Rats back. They won't be midfield coach as Libba is still there, unless he gets dropped too. I must admit, none of the specialist coaches seem to have had an impact.
Everyone bangs on about Pagan's responsibility for improving the players, but that very simplistic.
What has Dempsey done with the rucks?
What has TD done with the forwards, they seem to all run to the same spot a lot (remebering that Fisher, Fev and Kennedy all got injured from friendly fire).
What about Libba and the mids? well maybe you could argue that the one area that young guys have stepped up is in the midfield (e.g. Smith, Jackson, Simpson, Bentick, Betts).

I would be rapt if we had SOS as backs coach, and Ratten as assistant coach.

Would be great if only one those three came to the club.
