The best time to sign Matty James was two months ago. The second best time is right now.

Rotherham I’ll give you. Barnsley his overall record was pretty poor (lowest win percentage in his managerial career). He’s generally done well in L1 and not so well in the Championship.

Yeah but the rest of his career hasn’t been particularly good.

They’ve also got some very good staff. If it was as simple as making a few organisational changes every club would do it. Yet despite all this talk of modern structures and managers not being important elite clubs fortunes do still seem to track with getting a good manager in. Otherwise Man Utd...

And if Robins has made these appointments then he needs to go really. Which would be a very sad way to end as the best manager for a generation and one who quite literally saved the club. What made us great was such good use of resources. The excitement from data scouts when we signed someone...

Alive and well and installing record amounts of solar and storage 😀 https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/texas-kicks-with-solar-storage-developers-eye-profits-2024-04-11/

That’s not an excuse, that’s a reason maybe to hire a performance director, but you’d expect to see things get better, not worse. The one reason I have for sacking Robins is to let King live or die (in the towns) on all his own decisions. I think sadly you’re right and it’s Kings decision. I...

Not just then. Both Club Captain and Vice Captain left as well as big characters like Godden and O’Hare.

Nothing as weird as people’s maths once they lose an election. Meanwhile one party has a stinking majority and unbridled power and the other is seemingly likely to be a minority in every vote. Still, you racists can join the Corbynites for the fantasy electoral system awards I guess.

She’s a psychologist and is tasks in her own words with assessing the mentality of incoming signings and ensuring the players are in the right mind set. Two areas we are failing badly at. She has also been involved with the coaching setup and by all accounts is instigating and enforcing rules...

As I say just a guess based on what’s come out. It was in the Telegraph that he was talking through his solicitor. Could be he’s working up an unfair dismissal case or defending himself who knows.

No one knows. Just reading tea leaves based on the speed of it, the lack of club comms about it, and the fact he’s talking through legal representation.

Man the stuff you’re willing to say… Yes no one understands the roles that have had entire interviews dedicated to explaining. We are all but simple yokels who don’t understand the elite and mysterious ways of Modern Club. Only a fool would assume those with responsibility for how the players...

I wonder if he’s still on gardening leave pending any investigation.

The entire point of this modern elite set up so I keep being told so that changing the manager doesn’t make any difference. But other than that, yes Nick I’m saying any new manager will also have to work within the transfer windows and allotted budget.

What?

Two big issues: - Mebtality across the club is wrong. Poor people have been brought in on and off the pitch. We will need to sign leadership for both, at least a couple of players and an assistant manager. - We never replaced Hamer. Any new manager will have the same problems and will be...

Sounds like like other European wins under PR they’ll have trouble forming a govt. It’s that 30% ceiling for batshittery again. That 30% is solid but you push the other 70% so far away you don’t get power.

The whole thing has been wrong since the play offs. Key staff not replaced. Key personalities among the players not replaced.

Also can we be clear here. The number or job title of people isn’t half as relevant as to the types of people they are. Both on and off the pitch there’s been a clear company policy away from experience. Which is usually a cost cutting or power retention exercise.
