    We know the answer to this training thing, don't we? Sandgaard said that the club planned to increase the intensity of the training because they believed firstly that the players aren't fit enough (many on here have felt this for a good few seasons), and secondly that the lack of intensity was causing our constant plight of injuries. So does it not follow that MS's suggestion to JJ would be the same?

    On the search for a new manager, TS again mentioned that we'd be looking for a manager who brought more intensity to training.
  • Questioning coaches in training is bad enough 
    Whilst I broadly agree with you, we had posters aplenty questioning what went on in training when Jackson was in charge, if anything.  We all have an opinion and the real difference is of course is that Martin is a shareholder and has a role on the football side of the club. He should though have the common sense to keep schtum though and if he wasn’t happy then tell the big dog which I suspect is what he did. 
  • To be fair, we were so shit last year, I think I would have done the same!! 
    The comment has had the desired effect of raising awareness. I doubt we'll learn more, unless the final Voice fleshes it out. Personally, can't see how MS ruling the roost on recruitment overseeing some 'black box' jiggery pokery necessitates him being there at all. However, insofar as he has attended any training sessions, I'd need to know exactly what he was doing there before jumping to conclusions. I suspect that this has been left deliberately vague here knowing it would spark a 'how very dare you!" type reaction. 

    As stated before by me and others, the context of this is all important.

    What right does he have to involve himself on training effort, or lack of?
    He’s an analyst, not his remit
    He’s barely an analyst. He’s only an analyst because daddy said so. I manage a team of data analysts. He wouldn’t even get an interview anywhere else. 
  • I am a really good data analyst.
    I can look at the number of points we have in a league table and make a judgement from that.
    I can watch a match and look at the number of goals scored by each team, and then reach a conclusion as to the result.
  • I suppose it would be amusing if you hated the club.
    I'm sure we'd find someone similarly qualified.

    You know this how ?

    We have "known" that Martin is in charge of recruitment and many of us have raised it as a massive red flag.  The proof of the pudding will of course be in the eating (happy with that @Henry Irving) but it is a big concern.

    With the back ground of that there is little point employing a "manager", be it Adkins, Taylor, Warburton or Duff.

    Whilst I don't buy into the buzz word bingo that is a young, hungry, progressive coach, thatnis exactly what we need, because of the way the club is run.
    Mmmmmm……"I have my doubts that Martin is actually “in charge” of recruitment.
    On paper it may read that way but I don’t buy that.
  • You have to love us, we must be the only club in the world that could have a Schrodinger's Cat managerial head coach appointment.

    How do you know this? Sounds like sour grapes to me.

    Presumably his LinkedIn profile.

    He might say he used data in his last role but he’s never had a pure analytics position.

    Don't think Albie has too much to worry about.
  • I was once told by a CEO of a large multinational company that the worst decision he made was to promote a technically IT trained person into a management job. “He was brilliant at his job, but the skill sets he had made him an appalling manager”.
    Just saying.

    So the reason AM and “the boys” were playing so badly was because they were throwing games to get a result*…😉

    *said for the purpose of a joke.

    More chance of that text being from Piers Morgan. It is clearly a load of rubbish.

    If it was really from AM would his mate be so stupid as to put it on twitter? 
  • select * from players
    where goals_scored >20

    What more does he need to know! 

    Gary Goals is on his way.

    Why does Thomas keep saying he is?
