She’s said she’s involved in hiring players and staff and assessing fit and mentality.

Yeah, that's the worry isn't it. Makes sense if it's someone exceptional. Otherwise, not great.

10 goals in the last stages of the match this season speaks for itself. You know better than that Malc, yesterday we were outthought and outplayed.

If Edwards is coming in as a No2, does that make Lampard the manager?? I thought we were only after a head-coach and what's become of the DoF.

It's not on the BBC site yet, so I'm not believing anything you lying toerags put on here. ( no offence )

No, head coach/manager and assistant manager/assistant head coach have the same basic functions.

At the conference King confirmed he wanted Robins to hire an assistant but for whatever reason(s) that didn’t happen.

How do we know she's a biological woman? Nick mentioned that man won FIFA Women's Balon D'Or, could Dr Clare really be Dr Clive? I bet if it was then lots of the nonesense on this appointment would go away.

Sorry about the spelling but based on what King said at the forum that’s her role in the set up. She helps the club set up, the best practice in regards to facilities and food and performs data review.

More I’ve read, it’s more a jack of all trades in regards to performance analysis and sports science.

“In the wider remit, there’s the medical department, the sports science department, strength and conditioning, nutrition, psychology, player care and liaison, performance and data analysis. It’s really wide ranging.

I know they worked with the recruitment to do physiological appraisals but don’t think her remit in this is any further. Correct me if wrong but wanting to sack her when we’ve already got a major bill to front, seems out of place.

Suddenly an expert in coaching to have a go at coaches in blue tracksuits with iPads.

No experience, no leadership, new messages, key injuries and it was only 14 games in with decent results against top opposition only just prior to the sacking. Add in that we now have no direction and the players are on a rudderless ship. We'll never know, but there are mitigating factors.

People?
Who?
Wingy asked what her role was, someone laid it out, I remarked that they'd missed out recruitment.
Only Shmmeee criticised her and even then he didn't call for her to be sacked.

She was named alongside robins as choosing the coaching staff.

If we sacked everyone behind the scenes at the club who wasn’t up to it we’d have not much left tbh, but that’s what you get with a modern system reliant on a huge staff.

I’m not even saying sack her. I’m saying from her own words her role is more than running a DISC profile.

This is the overall problem i think. Whoever was responsible both playing and non playing staff had a huge turnover with most being at that level for the first time in their career. Lots of blind leading the blind going on I’d imagine. And lots of lost knowledge.

I mean yeah of course she was named. She provides data and would be able to help Mark make a decision.

In our old system, mark was responsible for hiring his staff and probably wanted more opinions and apologies on the sack her, think that was the original viewpoint.

Yes and her involvement is phycological evaluations and reviewing fitness levels of prospective signings, what’s so insidious about this?

Who's on about Carr? You're swinging wildly, it's bizarre.
We're talking about Roberts. 1 persons criticised her.
And my comment on Carr wasn't he's a gormless twat, it was that he came across as a gormless twat, referring to his first interview.

You are literally doing what you're accessing others of doing.

Not really. He's pointing out that accountability for poor results is being attributed to everyone except the person that was accountable for them. MR had final say in recruitment, coaching hires etc. and everything seems to be about everyone else. It's a bit weird.

Roberts would provide a report to robins on her assessment of potential signings relevant to her brief.

He had the final say based on several evaluations

Everyone would give opinions. Only she was named as “me and Mark”. Believe what you want but it’s there in black and white, that’s without the rumours of her running the place behind the scenes or the other circumstantial evidence. The idea she’s a glorified fitness coach isn’t credible I’m sorry. She has Director in her title for a reason.

How many goals in the last stages of the match against Burnley?

Zero

How many 90 + minute goals 2021-22 without a Performance Director = 13

So since Wingys post on page 137 who's attributed poor results to her?
1 person at most, (though not sure Shmmees even done that), that's not 'people'.

Well yeah she’s the director of performance so she gets data for analysis and for sports science(fitness) basically acting as the boss of our sport science and analysis departments.

Got to be careful about rumours as we all know. But fair enough each to their own. Wish the club would do more interviews so there was less blind spots
