Stuart McCall - have him training 1 of either, set peices, ball control or shooting
Ron Reid - either of the fitness ones
Brain Kidd - Ooo hes not what he was...3 star only in anything other than fitness or GK
Mick Jones - tactics or fitness only
Andy Leaning - Goalkeeping coach only
Tony Daley - Fitness or tactics
Scott Sellars - Reemploy as a coach, have him training tactics or ball control.
Kev Paxton - Reemploy as a coach, have him training fitness (either one) only.
Kev Fog - Reemploy as a coach, have him training either tactics or defending.

From these coaches you are pretty much sorted...Get rid of Kidd and the 2 older ones would be my advice and get the others on what I have suggested.

I always find it takes 2 or 3 seasons to get the holy grail of 5star training across the board...

I thought auto-assign did it all for you? (I am using FM'06)

Rez you are a legend. I appreciate this. Right now my only 2-3 stars left are set pieces, ball control and shooting, cant see how I can get round that. You know your stuff. I bet you're not even a Sheffield United fan!

No, youre right I am not...but Id like to thank you for bringing to my attention Scott Sellars

As I say it seems to me that it can take 2 or 3 years to get to the holy grail of 5 star training...Especially at places like Sheff United or Everton (thats me)...

Good luck

Also try offering your coaching staff new contracts that expire at the end of the season. At least then their contracts will expire much sooner than if they'd been contracted for a few seasons, but it also makes it cheaper to make them redundant. Mutual termination is usually cheaper than releasing staff from their existing contract :thup:

I completley forgot to mention that...You might have to offer more for a shorter time but it will make a mutual termination drop considerably!

Auto assign allocates all your coaches to all the schedules and so you dont get any advantage from any high attributes that a particular coach will have- try checking the effectiveness stars when you autoassign, then allocate them manaually to only one or two schedules depending on their attributes and see the difference, even if they are poor.
