Francis Jeffers back in the fold?

[Billy Dean]

According to this we're giving him his 1st steps in coaching: http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/...-rooney-followed-different-paths-9852550.html

Wonder if that means we'll be taking him on full-time or if he's just here for a bit.

Interesting one. Wouldn't have imagined him as a coach.

Probably just doing his badges, we get alot of ex players and coaches going throgh finch farm to do there badges

One interesting omission , is the agent he shared with Rooney at the time, and the influence that he had over the time of his relationship. Paul Stretford

Didn't know that. Guess it was him behind Jeffers' transfer request after he'd played about 10 games for us.

Yip, it looks like it.

That bloke has been toxic for our club.

He could have been a great for us if he had stayed. Don't like him now but fair play to him if he's doing his badges.

Fair play to the club for its Former Players Foundation, and this seems an extension of that. Keeping those with experience of the game in the game can only be a good thing, especially in light of the perils and pitfalls associated with Sky branded soccer. Jeffers could finish, scored a lot of goals for the under 21's (even when he was 23) and I strongly suspect he looks back now with significant regret about 'too much too soon' and the burden of expectation. It must be said that it was also a surprise that after his PL career he could only manage more than 50 appearances for one side (Wednesday 2007-10 54 apps & his highest goals total after for us with 5 goals).

Apparently he's going to do his first year of coaching with us, then as soon as he steps up he's going to Arsenal

 

[ToffeeDoug]

What a waste of a talent but very brittle I suppose. Tried his hand (briefly) in Malta at one point.

.....looked fit and well when I saw him in the pub earlier this year. Personally wonder if he has the attitude for a job on the coaching side but I suppose it takes all kinds.

In hindsight we probably did well out of his transfer, we'll never truly know if we dodged a bullet or if he would've been a star had he stayed.

Franny will teach the kids all they need to know about golf and gambling. He's ace at both.

As bad a waste of talent as I can remember, up there with Billy Kenny. Only at least Jeffers seems to have earned a good few quid out of it.
