Pascoe is Rodgers' right-hand man, and first-team coach. Driscoll is conditioning expert, and Davies is a highly-rated young match analyst.

That means Clarke and Edwards are redundant?
Where in the fuck do they find the blerts they always interview outside Anfield.

Edwards is suppose to be the new whiz kid with stats and all that.
Which is correct.. we are appointing a sporting and technical director instead..

Aside from Keen, whom I don't know, the coaching staff seems excellent and one would have thought he'd show them enough respect to at least look at the set up and talk to them before bombing anyone out. No one would have been impressed if Kenny had brought in Pascoe instead of Clarke. It wouldn't be a positive move now.
Depends which way you look at it.. Media sensationalism springs to mind
I cannot believe for one minute we would appoint Rodgers without appointing someone upstairs with extensive knowledge of the game to oversee matters of importance.. There is no way the board will make the same mistake twice as they did with Kenny..
A Sporting & Technical director will be in place...

Why would they sack someone who offered to resign two weeks ago
Assistant manager - Colin Pascoe
Head Match Analyst - Chris Davies
View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_1Dx3wgCP8
Performance Consultant - Glen Driscoll
Maybe because they just asked him to stay until a new manager had been appointed? They couldn't know if a new manager would want him, although his reputation suggested a good new manager probably would want to keep him. Then again, stories of Colin Pascoe's brilliance hadn't quite reached Boston yet.
Performance Consultant - Glen Driscoll
BRENDAN Rodgers has added an old mate from Chelsea to his Swansea City backroom staff — and Garry Monk is already being treated like John Terry.
Glen Driscoll has arrived at the Liberty Stadium as Swansea's new performance consultant after a decade spent working with top managers and players at Stamford Bridge.
Rodgers believes Swansea have pulled off a major coup in recruiting Driscoll, who left Chelsea in the summer after new manager Andre Villas-Boas reshuffled the club's staff.
And Swansea skipper Monk is already reaping the rewards of Swansea's latest appointment.
"The gaffer's brought Glen in from Chelsea and he has been excellent with me," Monk said.
"He's had experience with top players. All the physios at Swansea have been great, but he has brought in a few new things and I felt much stronger at Wolves last Saturday than I have been feeling."
In one of his first acts since arriving at the Liberty, Driscoll has fitted Monk with a belt which supports his back in a bid to help him overcome a long-standing foot problem.
"Apparently John Terry had the same sort of injury as me — foot trouble because of the back," Monk added.
"My back is fine now, but the belt just tightens things up and gives you more support.
"It gives you a few more per cent of power.
"I think I'm the first person to wear a belt around a pair of football shorts, but if it works then great."
Driscoll worked with Rodgers in the Reading Academy before being head-hunted by Chelsea during Jose Mourinho's reign.
He went on to work under Avram Grant, Luiz Felipe Scolari, Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti.
"He has massive experience," Rodgers said.
"He was head of medical at Chelsea, but what is unique about Glen is that he also has a strong background in football conditioning.
"Initially he worked with the youth department at Chelsea, then he progressed up to overseeing the first-team medical department.
"When Avram Grant took over he moved Glen into the conditioning role and he was first-team conditioning coach under Guus Hiddink and Carlo Ancelotti.
"So we are getting someone who has experience in both fields and his role will be to look at performance outside the field.
"He can work in a couple of areas for us and he will be another great signing for this club."
Driscoll has not signed a fixed contract, and has instead been appointed "until further notice", Swansea say.
The 36-year-old's brief is to oversee and support the medical and performance departments of the club.
As well as assisting Monk, he is currently working on the rehabilitation programmes of Alan Tate and Ferrie Bodde.
"It's funny how things work out," Driscoll said.
"I worked with Brendan in the Academy structure at Reading and then found myself reunited with him at Stamford Bridge.
"Obviously it's disappointing to leave Chelsea after a decade, but that's football for you.
"And I'm proud of the fact that I played my part in Chelsea's most successful era."
Monk, meantime, believes he is edging ever closer to full fitness after his long-standing troubles.
"I just need to keep that run of games going," the central defender added.
"If I get four or five in a row then I will be much better.
"I don't think I look out of place or anything."
Hadnt reached me either
Head Match Analyst - Chris Davies
FORMER Reading youth captain Chris Davies admitted he could not turn down the chance to be reunited with Brendan Rodgers after becoming Swansea City's match analyst.
Davies, a one-time Wales Under-19 international, switched to sports science after realising he would not make the grade as a Football League player.
He has spent time working under Bobby Gould with New Zealand club Hawkes Bay United, and was set to join another Championship club this summer until Rodgers took over at the Liberty.
"As soon as Brendan got the Swansea job I was straight on the phone to him," Davies revealed.
"He taught me my trade, not just as a player but also as a person.
"He taught all the young players life lessons as well.
"By that I mean how to conduct yourself in a professional and responsible manner off the pitch."
Davies says Rodgers is a joy to work for because he understands the benefits of sports science and match analysis.
"Believe me, there are still some real dinosaurs out there who would be the ultimate challenge to work for."
Davies, 25, takes over from Nelson Jardim, who followed Paulo Sousa to Leicester.
Hasn't reached many.
so we've had to pay clarke off instead of accepting his resgnation. boss.
