Allan Russell

[1983]

It’s more to do with providing opportunities for whatever meat is in the box. Our crossing / passing / decision making has been horrific.

It is mighty impressive from Glass attracting Brown and Russell as his assistants. 

Aye, he felt like a bit of an unknown quantity as a manager, but with these assistants he obv means business. V encouraging.

Have the “titles” of Brown & Russell been confirmed?

I’ve read them both described as “assistant coaches”.

Is one of them going to be “assistant manager” to use an old school description. 
Who has seniority between the two of them?

It's not clear so far

But does it even matter?

No. 

Lots of managers now have a team of coaches but no designated assistant manager.

Not really, I’m just curious.

Same as the recruitment part of things. Which DOES matter. Who’ll head that up? 

Maybe find out when Glass starts up.

I'd imagine we'd slowly move to a more modern approach, like I would presume Atlanta have, whereby its young computer geeks turning up to the office studying stats and far less travelling to watch Wigan U23s playing Everton U23s one night and then Northampton Doncaster the next night.

The Daily Retard last week had Brown as first team coach and Russell as assistant manager. 

No idea of the veracity of their source though....could just be a typical press guess

Assistant to the manager

Is Glass's title manager or head coach?

Who cares what the title is? It’s irrelevant if he’s a manager, head coach or leader of the revolution.

He’ll be assessed on what he does in the role.

Its a gamble, no doubt, but hopefully a calculated gamble and I personally am keen and excited about the changes that are coming.

COME ON YOU REDS!!!

[aberdeen1970]

Has Russell started yet or is he coming in when Glass starts? 

I assume he is uk based so won't have to quarantine? 

[Ten Caat]

Noticed on his twitter he refers to his job with us being "assistant coach"

I'm presuming he won't start until Glass is actually in the door

Interesting article from a few years ago, might be the idea we are looking at and regards as to what some were saying about scouting.

That won’t be his focus.

Anderson is out on loan so he’ll be focussing on those still with us. Let’s get to the end of the season. 8 games, hopefully start seeing more creativity and win the majority of them. Scottish cup has to be the priority, great chance to get to the semi’s at least then there’s 2 one off games to lift the trophy and straight into the group stages of Europe

Wonder how many quines he’s sowed so far

Phwoar!!

Sounds like he's sowed a few guys on here too by the looks of it.

That would be hilarious if Glass managed to do in 4 games what McInnes has been trying to do in 7-8 years.

A wee gaze into his eyes and you'll be on board SF son ?

If he gets us scoring on the pitch, he'll be scoring off it too!

Sacked by the English FA apparently.  Involved in a boozy car crash is the reports.
