Kit Man Beesley Moves On
Monday, 6th Jul 2015 17:47

TWTD understands Blues kit man Paul Beesley won’t be returning to the club for the new season.

Popular former Leeds, Wigan and Sheffield United defender Beesley, 49, was added to the Portman Road staff by his one-time Latics team-mate Paul Jewell in 2012 and remained at the club after Mick McCarthy took over, despite still being based in Sheffield.

We understand ex-Blues keeper James Pullen (pictured during his playing days with Town) will be taking on kit duties in addition to his role as masseur in the short-term, working with assistant kit man Ken Goody.

This is the final straw. McCarthy really should stand aside now. If he can't get the right man on board to get rid of some tough bovril stains from a players under crackers then we have no chance of recruiting a team worthy of the premiership. Maybe the kit man has heard about all the scum players that wear women's underwear and decided to switch allegiances. A total joke.

mrbarcs added 10:12 - Jul 7 Am amazed at the total ignorance of the comments, if you have no knowledge of what the kit man role entails then either find out or don't post such rubbish, this is the engine room of the club and 60 + hours a week to make it work properly !

From Micks remarks recently when he said a squad of 22 is fine,am not sure we will see any of the £8m spent similar to when Cressey was sold.
However it is not now that we would feel the pinch but later in the season;so am surprised that JAS has unusually been marked down.
Felt towards the end of last season one or two players were showing a little tiredness including Tyrone in his first full season,and there was also the long term injuries to Luke and Didsy,plus short term abscences which have to be allowed for.
However with several weeks to go could see another couple of new players,you never know with Mick

BlueBhoy added 12:28 - Jul 7 Mrbarcs .... Why don't you apply if you are such an expert. ? I am sure a sense of humour is not essential for the role , so you should be a dead cert.
