I think this is a good move and something that has been missing the last few years however if Welsh is not given the job as an extra to the youth team (wouldn't take up too much time) whoever is hopefully they will do it on a voluntary basis; maybe someone like Dick Creasey, or someone who could still be a player manager like Stanhope or Costello.
The playing squad should be youth team players, first team players not getting a game, coming back from injury and trialist - no specific reserve team players would be needed. A reserve team would have benefited players like Butcher last year.
