sportsman10 Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 You have to think that a game changer for helston. Matts a great coach probably one of the best in the south west. He will also been promised a budget to bring in the players he wants and I assume Massey will not interfere at all and generally help in bringing in the players he needs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Deacon Posted June 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 One definition I’ve found for Director of Football:- “Their responsibilities can vary from club to club, with some being heavily involved in all aspects of the business, including the hiring and firing of managers, scouting, recruitment of players, long-term strategy and the improvement of facilities.” It’ll be interesting to see how it works at Helston and no doubt crucial if success is to follow.

Uwdi Krugg Posted June 6, 2022 Report Share Posted June 6, 2022 Mr Massey loves his Football, you can witness that from all the games he attends that don't even involve Helston. He gets plenty of stick from certain quarters but he's worked wonders at that club. It's a big decision to step aside particularly after nurturing the route to the Western League. I'm sure he'll be a great custodian of the Director of Football role and be fully supportive of Matt Cusack. Matt is a top up and coming coach that Parkway may sadly miss. It's a positive appointment for Helston that will provide fresh optimism for the coming season. I wish both Steve and Matt the very best in their new positions.

No idea of the circumstances behind him departing from Parkway, but i would imagine that he was never going to stay as a number 2 for long. Guessing that this means Leigh Robinson is out. Wonder if Matt Godfree and Stuart Dudley will make up his backroom staff? Possibly also with recently departed Saltash physio Rich Hayden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Hobbs always wanted Karl Curtis back. Mistake if you ask me I d say Matt is miles better then Karl. 1 minute ago, Yourhavingalaugh said: Why release a couple players before appointing a new manager ? it doesn’t make sense to me 🤔 That is strange.

Doubt this was even in his mind a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
