He's been largely ignored in all this.
What do we know of him?

He was highly thought of at Sunderland and survived a few regime changes there.
I'm sure he had one of their younger teams unbeaten for a year there. Good at developing players.
Heckingbottom was keen to get him away from Sunderland but I'm sure he said in his interview that Moyes didn't let him go.

It’s ideal, two young hungry coaches that will help get our youngsters into the first team. Fantastic. Hopefully no more ageing journeymen the end of their career with no future value.
Tremendous.

Definitely feel good that they've arrived as a pair - had he been appointed with no assistant I would have felt less assured.

He probably came out of the Netflix Sunderland documentary better than most.
Like Heckingbottom I know nothing much about him so they both have a clean slate with no preconceptions from me. Hopefully a few others come round to that way of thinking as the reactions I have been have been depressingly hysterical in their negativity.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017.

I can't believe someone managed to get 5 caps for Scotland and I haven't heard of him.

TBH, I am slightly disappointed that I was never selected

One positive is that we have not had to pay any compensation to land either Stockdale or Heckingbottom.

He was very highly regarded at Sunderland, particularly by David Moyes, who I think tried to take him to West Ham, and, as others have said, came across well in Sunderland documentary.
A friend of a friend did their coaching badges with Robbie and I remember him saying that he really excelled on that particular cohort, he was very surprised that Robbie hadn't been picked up by another club after Jack Ross let him go to bring in his own regime in the summer. I think he's a really big coup for the club, possibly dare I say it, a bigger coup than PH himself.

Its simply good management, to be honest.
In any business, if the team cant perform, or fails because the "figurehead" is away, off sick, leaves etc its not been set up well in the first place.
A good manager sets his teams up in order that they should be able to operate almost without the boss, everyone knows whats expected of them, doesnt need to defer to anyone and that allows people to grow and achieve.
Some bosses dont understand that, let their egos get in the way and think micromanagement is what its about. Some staff find that hard as they have spent their entire career being told what to do.
PH sounds like he knows his stuff, lets hope it shows on the park.

My hope is that all the neighsayers give them both the time they deserve, in spite of them not being the names they wanted, I fear if we don't make top 6 this season that might not be the case. Timing is crucial in football.

Teams that are built around one individual at the top may well have success but usually struggle when that person leaves as there is no one to fill the void.
The structure being proposed here makes so much sense thinking about the clubs long term stability.

That's because they were all in the Bertie Vogts "Does anyone in the bar fancy a game tomorrow? There's a Scotland cap in it for you" era.
Not sure he was really too hot as a player but that's never counted against the very best managers and coaches.

Stockdale was playing for a team that finished 11th in the Premiership in the year that he was capped by Scotland.
