Former Manchester United and Newcastle United star Cole in Huddersfield Town talks
Aug 18 2009 by Dougie Thomson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner
ANDREW COLE is in line to join the Town coaching staff.
Manager Lee Clark wants his former Newcastle and Fulham teammate to pass on his goalscoring expertise to strikers Jordan Rhodes,Theo Robinson, Lee Novak and Robbie Simpson.
Clark is focused on tonight’s home League I meeting with Brighton (7.45)
but has scheduled talks with the 37-year-old ex-England, Manchester United and Blackburn ace later this week.
Cole is the second highest scorer in Premier League history with 187 goals (behind Alan Shearer on 260).
He has been working with another old teammate, Paul Ince, at Town’s League I rivals MK Dons. But Clark is optimistic he can get Manchester-based Cole on board, saying: “I think he has a lot to offer.
“His goalscoring record speaks for itself. He is a master of the art, and I think our players, especially the frontmen, would really benefit from his guidance.
“We got on well as players and we’ve kept in close touch over the years. The plan is to talk over the next few days and see what we can work out.”
