The goalie coaching position has been vacant since Kevin Pressman's release and subsequent signing for Leicester City as well as Eric Nixon going back to Merseyside.

Mercer was the sort of experienced pro Chris Turner wanted to bring in to forward the progress of the likes of Robert Poulter, and will work at Middlewood two days a week and on match days.

Eustace, regarded by many as one of the worse Wednesday managers of all time, has had some stiff competition for that particular unwanted accolade in the past ten years!

But he will be in charge of all the scouting activity and comes with strong recommendations, especially from Harry Redknapp, who he worked under at West Ham and Portsmouth.
