Thoughts on the new academy coaches appointed at Notts County

[Joe Jones]

So Jon Goodman is the new Notts County academy coach and Simon Clark is the lead professional development phase coach (story below).

What do you know about these two? Reckon they're a good fit for Notts and can help spur our academy to the next level?

Let PON know!

Just out of curiosity, does anyone know why Goodman retired so young(29)? Injuries?

i assume it is due to injuries @TheFostarr94.

i just read this http://www.the42.ie/jon-goodman-football-ireland-interview-nike-academy-3238265-Feb2017/

"Although he was forced to retire at an early age, former Ireland striker Jon Goodman has had a fascinating career in the game." and "Rather than dwell on the uncertainty that retirement might bring, Jon took motivation and a sense of optimism from a number of opportunities that had arisen."

he seems to have the right attitude and speaks well.
