No stats system tells anyone to sign half a dozen strikers but not to bother about a right back. Darren told us otherwise, but hey ho. Looks like Micky has got his way and they’ve binned it.

You don't know how it was used, you don't know how influential it was, you don't know what the plan is with it in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know how it’s implemented. I know those things- because Darren said it publicly. He explained two seasons ago. . how it works, how it will be implemented and the potential benefits. Im then going off what Micky said multiple times in the media, about knowing what good looks like, and saying publicly the board are lovely people but they’ve made mistakes. I’m then going off what Darren said in his most recent interview where he explicitly said Mellon and the head of recruitment will look after recruitment. All of this makes perfect sense when you read and listen to what the club tells you over a period of time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you want to do X?, what benefit does it bring? What does it cost?, what are the downsides? I'd expect a degree of strategic workforce planning too. What formations/ style do we aspire to play? How do the players we have fit in to that system? Who is surplus?, who has potential to develop? How do we develop them? What do we need to recruit? It doesn't take a football genius to see we had an oversized and unbalanced squad. Lets see who is on the books at the beginning of July before we get too excited about the third season of our non league apprenticeship.

Let’s see who is on the books at the beginning of July before we get too excited about the third season of our non league apprenticeship. It would appear most on here believe everything is binary. Recruitment is delegated and therefore those at the top of the business do not have any control over recruitment and it’s not their fault if it goes wrong. As an example. That’s obviously not the way any business (including this one) is run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
