I'd be amazed if he doesn't. It's not like one coach will / can know everything about football. I also wouldn't be surprised if there are more additions to the coaching staff.

Of course he will. The article itself says so.
As for additions - Clarke was a fullback, Keen a midfielder, so a specialist striker coach maybe?

Mark, you should listen to Gary, he's extremely wise, too wise by far to get excited about this. Unlike you Mark, you crazy bastard.

Quelle surprise.

Sorry, should i be cracking open the Champagne in the wake of this news?

Do you even know anything about him? It was a pretty pointless comment, unless we're signing Messi you appear close to suicide.

Mark, you're hysterical, take a break from the forum for a few days and come back refreshed and ready to listen to Gary. Honestly, you've been acting like Asim all day today.
Seems like a Steve Clarke recommendation, having worked with him during his West Ham days as No. 2. His involved with youth team coaching and his vision seems to fit in with the direction we're taking.
A quote attributed to him while he was at Macclesfield and they were drawn to play the Hammers in a cup tie.
Being vocal about running for the managerial job at West Ham after being named caretaker manager upon Grant's dismissal.

so is this keen highly rated or anything? cant say i know anything about him, doesnt look like he did a great job at westham though....

Nothing in the stats, but Keen is incredibly well respected in football circles (at least in the UK). A really good addition for us - potentially to be followed by a former Chelsea coach.
Mark, listen to Gene, and follow Gary's lead.....if were not signing Mourinho, Messi, Fabregas or Connor Wickham then there's really no point in discussing it.
Speaking of Gary, he has a jaundiced, anti club hierarchy, familiar air to him...it's, it's, it's almost like he may have been here before in another guise...

One would imagine when Chelsea came calling Clarke he got to ask for a few things in return, this being one of them.
The fact he seems to have a background in intergrating youth players into the first team with west ham who have brought some great players through successfully means he fits kennys philosophy nicely too.

This is a good point, West Ham's promotion of youth players has an excellent record. His job at the end of the day is working with the youth players, I don't see why West Ham's relegation should have any particular relevance.

Obviously I haven't been about much lately, so Gary is an entirely unknown quantity to me. Seems like a man wiser beyond his 25 years, thasfosho.
Sorry lads but where exactly have i criticised Keen? I used the word, 'meh' as that's how i feel about the appointment...on the fence.
Not as if he's a proven coach or suchlike but that's not to say he's won't be a valuable addition to the coaching staff.
Furthermore, as David Fairclough said the other night, i don't see why one Manager - Kenny, and one Coach - Clarke isn't enough.
I don't know. He's obviously not being brought in for the fun of it so hopefully he'll do the business.

Surely they had a lot more than one manager and one coach in his day too?

Not a lot more, no. Some clubs may have had one or two more, but many didn't. The idea of a whole coaching team is a relatively new one.
Apparently Keen's always been an advocate of pass & move & developed a lot of coaching around it. That'll fit too.

THE EXTRA 2% - Sneak Peek
Read the foreword to the book, written by Mark Cuban - owner of the Mavericks that won the NBA title this year. We're doing something similar to what he did with them.
