Les Ferdinand Does NO Football Training Whatsoever.

[Kevin Mcleod]

Charlie Austin has revealed that Director Of Football 'Said Leslie Ferdinand' is far to busy with off the field business to take any player training whatsoever. Wonder what keeps him so busy?

[Felt]

He's the Director of Football. I wouldn't expect him to take training. Whether he's any good as a Director of Football is another story though.

When Chaz's all round game changed and he appeared to be even better a little while ago, most of us on here thought Les was taking one on one sessions with him.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

He's not meant to do training

[Kevin Mcleod]

Yeah thats obvious, but Chaz has cleared up hes doing fark all to help him, thats the point. Must be so busy busy busy directing football.

[Jimmy Floyd Rabbit]

Yea that's not so good.

[West London is Rss]

Not sure its Chaz that needs the help... Its the others!!

It's up to Charlie Austin to improve Charlie Austin's game, not Les Ferdinand. I'm sure he's given him a few pieces of advice here and there, without actually leading a full training session. As others have stated, if we have the DOF giving one on one striker training, then we have big problems.

You seem to be the most clued up user on here about the ins and outs on the club, what is it les does every day then, let us know please.

He does no training whatsoever? I bet he would be still more use to the team than Bobby Zamora though!

Les Job is not to coach so not sure why he is getting picked up for it

There was thread few months back compaling that there were too many coaches at the club. If hes doing extra work with Charlie super

Not sure if you actually read my comment, but I never professed to know what was going on at the club for certain - all I suggested was that Les has probably spoken to Austin about how he can improve his game. That's it.

I don't know what Les does on a day to day basis, but I know what he shouldn't be doing - personal training sessions with one player.

Clearly not enough defensive coaches though....!

No hes not, thats what Chaz cleared up when asked by the press does Les help out at all.

Why not though? In the absolute dire situation we are in, would it hurt for Les to muck in, or is he not allowed too in case the unions get involved and call on a strike, or is he genuinely just too busy?
