Fantastic podcast - thank you for posting it.

The big takeaway for me is PBOBE saying:

‘You need people to believe in order to support the athletes on the field . .. You need that alignment for the athletes to have any chance of success …Secondly you need that momentum that alignment gives because every time you have a setback the alignment allows you to overcome it quickly to build resilience from It to become stronger not weaker’.

It also comes across how much RDZ is admired and respected by the Club for not just his skills (‘one of the best managers in the World’ ) but for his tenacity and ambition - So lucky to have such an articulate and talented CEO who is as dedicated to the Club and wants us to keep improving as much as Tony does (and RDZ!) - alignment!

He talks a good game. And he's successful, so there's clearly something to it. My reservation about what he says is that it can be very abstract, and must hide a lot of what he actually does. I bet every football club Chief Exec says "alignment" is vital, but it's what you put in place that matters, isn't it?

I met Paul Barber a few months ago with my daughter. She described him as a very approachable and pleasant chap - but definitely not one to cross. Probably a fair assessment I’d say.

Are you certain?

You need a midfield and right winger to also succeed, unless I’m wrong and all it takes is a bit of encouragement

I only mentioned bottle tops.
