As long as he knows where the End Zone is and we get some touch downs I'll be happy.

So saw this tweet

Which lead me to this article which answered some interesting questions on “how might a team use data analysis when choosing a coach”

Hiring Head Coaches - Why Style Matters. - MRKT Insights - Football Consultancy Services

Staff in major European clubs are being summoned to meeting rooms. Their clubs need a new head coach, someone who can be trusted to work well with their star players with a track record of success. The staff enter the room and find their seats, they look from the technical director to the...

Hmmm... was RDZ sussed out, or did he lose the weapons he needed?

RDZ only knows to attack, and if you don't have the players to hurt the opponents (Mitoma, March, Pedro), they're gonna hurt you.

But I agree a plan 'b' and 'c' is required. RDZ was very bad at adapting.

Probably a bit of both as you suggest.

IMO, he was in the process of being found out. It wouldn't have happened in a 'big bang' sense, but as other teams/analysts/managers studied his tactics, they gradually became more adept at countering them. It was at this point, he faced his greatest challenge. Just how good was he? How could he adapt to the new reality?

The passage of time, not to mention the results, tells us that he struggled to adapt. But key players being absent didn't help.

Re set pieces, if it means the end of the ‘let’s all do the conga’ line at corners, I’m all for him

Hmm wasn't that the bit that actually worked occasionally?

And we can then continue our current managerial trajectory and appoint Jack Hinshelwood as manager.

I don't think Jack has done his badges yet - will have to be joint managers in Charlie Tasker and Harry Mills:-

I'm not convinced that having individual clubs build their identity around overtly political values is the best way to effect meaningful societal change.

And I strongly dislike the idea that anybody would feel excluded from supporting any club because of their political beliefs, or conversly would feel obliged to think a certain way just because they support a side.

Put another way, I see far more to admire in the culture around football in Liverpool or Sheffield (two examples I happen to be reasonably familiar with) than Glasgow.

Anyway, it doesn't have much to do with Hürzeler, so I'll leave that there.

Agree, I want my football club to be win matches and play attractive football. Not to preach to me about what social issues I think should be attached or be a condition to support said team.
That’s politics, not sport.
I support BHAFC the football club, not Brighton the social activism and right on hipster club.

It's woke nonsense like this which has been holding our club back all these years

Yes but you can't say things like that any more.

I think you need to lower your expectations.

Sorry but this is complete nonsense.

A football club is a community. Brighton is “woke” but is also the Sussex team and there are loads of deprived estates and communities within the catchment area. It’s naturally left wing.

Liverpool won’t buy The Sun quite rightly and have a totally separate identity to the rest of the country.

Millwall totally represent the politics of white Bermondsey.

Celtic and Rangers still indulge in sectarianism.

Cardiff hate the English only marginally less than they hate Swansea.

Literally all of these are examples of the politics that sit naturally in communities, particularly working class ones.

And there are fascist clubs. Lazio, Hellas Verona and Hansa Rostock for three. Surely the left wing ones offer counter balance?

I feel it's worth highlighting that apart from Liverpool's boycott of the Sun, which is shared with Everton fans as well, most if not all of those examples are just people being total unmitigated twats.

All this talk about scoring from set pieces is worrying. There's a bloke near me who sees a corner as a good time to go to the loo. I fear for his bladder if this starts to change.

Statistically... he's not wrong!!

Brighton fans representing their city and county community? Anti fascist clubs opposing racism? Welsh fans hating their traditional oppressors? Really?

Well this thread has taken an unexpected turn…..

Not yet at my end.

WANTED posters up at all airport terminals, hotels and pubs in Lancing to be on the lookout for this man - thought to be travelling to the UK

I’m not looking for it. My instinct is that this will complete in the next few days after the legals are sorted out. He’s defo our man.

But things can always go to shit. In my experience, that could be over a misplaced comma.

Is that his mum and dad with him at the airport?
