It’s unusual how difficult it is for Yorke to find a manager job. Visible minorities have a hard time breaking through.

I feel he burn some bridges at some point and with him also seeming to be limiting himself to opportunities dat some may view him as unsuitable for.....I feel SAF would veto any appointment at MU anyways is jus a vibe I get, from where their relationship kinda went in d late half

Momentary truths reminds me of another nonsense term --- alternative facts.

Yuh capable of being more discerning.

What kinds tweet is that? Davies need to worry about himself, not what Dwight doing.

Fyzoman · « **Reply #488 on:** July 12, 2024, 11:37:46 AM »

I'm sure peeps have seen the 'ole Jimmy Floyd on the bench for England at the Euros...I dare anyone to look at his and Rudd's coaching careers and really appreciate the hubris of Dwight's entitlement...not bad mouthing him eh, but nah jed look at where them fellas started or even Pep for that matter?

Why not look for a lil U-18, U-21 team and show he can do and slip into a first team manager role eventually...I dunno, maybe that making too much sense?

lefty · « **Reply #489 on:** July 12, 2024, 01:58:13 PM »

.................I intentionally neglected seeker because Dwight is an entitled prick dat refuses to come of his high horse and do it the way every former player have to earn their flowers as a coach........it easy to believe entitlement "old talk" because it have plenty evidence, if any of it false is Dwight own fault dat people have dat view of him.....nobody else

@lefty ah recognized that you declined ah response but I am glad you've returned to it as I see my comment didn't spark an iota of introspection.

What I will point out is that Davies' eagerness to devalue his own coaching credential is noteworthy. It's a sort of sabotage others reading this may recognize.

Or is it that Dwight allegedly devalued the credential as personal to him and purportedly left Davies untouched to that effect?

What yuh say, that sounds curiously proximate to the definition of institutional bias ... and its cousins?

Kevin Davies' post on X, March 1, 2024:

I did my A Licence with Dwight, lovely lad. However he spent most of his time during our 2 week long Course on the golf course. Rocked up for an hour in the afternoon occasionally when we were out on the grass. Great player but lost loads of respect from the other candidates on that course and his actual sessions were poor. Maybe he should have put in more effort learning how to "coach" and put on a decent session. The fact that he has won trophies as a player does not entitle him to walk into certain jobs does it?

Kevin Davies' post on Twitter, October 10, 2018:

Would hope he turned up for more training sessions than he did on his A Licence 😂⛳️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️⛳️😂

Regarding Hasselbaink on England's bench:

Saw him commiserating with Xavi Simons post-match and it hit me that the conversation was likely conducted in Dutch. It's easy to forget that Jimmy Floyd is a capped Dutchman, due to his lengthy sojourn in England and enduring association with England.

Fyzoman · « **Reply #493 on:** July 13, 2024, 06:44:07 AM »

Seeker, just to be clear, Rudd's appointment to United prompted my comment, but I included Jimmy Floyd too because he is currently in our faces at the Euros and has a somewhat similar career path...lower-age and lower division teams.

And of course I know that not all players/coaches had to go the same route, I was just observing that maybe Dwight could consider doing that.

lefty · « **Reply #494 on:** July 13, 2024, 10:44:23 AM »

Asylum* all I sayin is Dwight is primarily responsible for the stereotypical view of him, I said "I can believe dat" because "in my view" it sounds very "Dwight" rightly or wrongly, bias notwithstanding......

just sayin

......and I would still be up on my feet clapping him if he gets dat big job he wants, he just not where he needs to be to get it now

Not fighting down Dwight, but it'll be real stretch for Jamaica to pin their WC 2026 hopes on unproven Dwight...I don't think Jamaicans will stand for that.

I've been wrong before though

The U-15 gig took place as part of his UEFA Pro course. DY would have been subject to something similar.

EDIT: Although at the time he would have described it as leading to the Pro, strictly speaking I am fairly sure it was structurally part of the B-->A path designed for players with 7 years pro experience. The time at which it occurred (2020) and the year in which he actually obtained the Pro license (2022), support this assessment.

He start a dwight yorke academy as yet in Tobago? What does he do for football in Tobago? All this complaining about getting a foreign job and he have enough opportunities to create jobs in the land of his birth? Why not start an academy and get some other local coaches certified and involved?

Look Fenwick doing it right now.

The unprofessional comment, made by a Jamaican federation personality, to the effect that DY had been interviewing himself ... ratifies the above.

Won't be long from now before we find out if DY is treated as a favoured or native son with respect to AE's departure.

I find Dwight should focus on finding ah damn wuk, rather than talking foolishness about he would swap in Darwin Nunez for Rasmus Hojlund!

I was hopeful United get Nunez years ago, but very quickly I was HAPPY that we didn't.

Hojlund will be aight, with Rudd now here to boo, he go be aight.

Dwight should be looking for ah wuk to pad he lil resume
