Look who the text message is from lolScoham said:Twitter rumour that Powell’s being interviewed and has a good chance of coming back 👀11 -
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.3 -
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.The Red Robin said:

Exactly. I reckon some people think he turned up with his boots, Clipboard and whistle expecting to take a full on training session.Bolderhumphreyreid said:

MS certainly tried at least once last season.Jac_52 said:MuttleyCAFC said:I haven't got an issue with the owner suggesting the style of football he wants to see us play and promising to back the manager in getting the players needed to achieve it. It becomes more worrying when it gets like Roland explaining football tactics to a manager who is an ex England international. If Sandgaard thinks he has discovered the secret of success in terms of a playing style it is worrying in the extreme. There are many different paths but his backing is needed. With limited resources the approach has to always be a pragmatic one based on what you have and how your best players play.
The problem is, I don't know which of these is correct and I doubt many of us do. There are lingering doubts about Sandgaard based on genuine clues. I would say not yet definitive but that in itself is worrying. And we should be open to this possibility.
I agree with this. The turning point for me would be if Sandgaard is issuing Roland-esque emails or trying to dictate how training sessions should go.
Currently I have no reason to think that this is the case and if anyone knows differently then they should be making it public very very quickly. Until then we have to accept that there is nothing wrong with an owner wanting a certain type of football and finding the staff to implement it.
If he was at the training ground and saw a lacklustre group of players who were not putting a shift in then he’s more than got a right to ask for more surely?If he was there to effectively ask JJ to try something different in training then that wouldn’t be on.

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.Themightyath2 said:

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.3 -
I'm sure we'd find someone similarly qualified.balham red said:
I suppose it would be amusing if you hated the club.wmcf123 said:
It would be amusing if Garner told us to stuff it .DubaiCAFC said:Cawley has been clearly told a deal has been agreed, but that's if Charlton go down the Garner route.. I think TS wants 2 or 3 options agreed before picking.. Clearly that could piss people off!
I think we will hear a lot more today, potenially announcement, if not early next week! That's my hunch!0 -

Mmmmmm……"I have my doubts that Martin is actually “in charge” of recruitment.Cafc43v3r said:w
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.oohaahmortimer said:
When Airman ‘likes’ that post it scares me , we’ve got another nutbag , let’s hope he’s more useful than that goalkeeping coach from Swindon’s nutsack .
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.
On paper it may read that way but I don’t buy that.2 -
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.4

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”.

If it was really from AM would his mate be so stupid as to put it on twitter?0 -
Maybe Sandgaard is just building his part.
He'll arrive next week, set up a live podcast from the Royal Oak, plug in his guitar and thunder out the new manager's name, two / three marquee signings and our intention to begin our assault on Europe - all in song!
The Charlton reboot is about to begin!
Blimey that coffees strong ...9 -

Why does Thomas keep saying he is?SoundAsa£ said:
Mmmmmm……"I have my doubts that Martin is actually “in charge” of recruitment.Cafc43v3r said:w
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.oohaahmortimer said:When Airman ‘likes’ that post it scares me , we’ve got another nutbag , let’s hope he’s more useful than that goalkeeping coach from Swindon’s nutsack .
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.
On paper it may read that way but I don’t buy that.0 -
Just out of interest, what management qualifications do you have?The Red Robin said:
I cannot believe we’re legitimately arguing over whether this is a person qualified to not just be a data analyst, but to lead data analysis at a professional football club. I wouldn’t even give him an entry level job.Scoham said:
Presumably his LinkedIn profile.ShootersHillGuru said:
You know this how ?The Red Robin said:
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.DA9 said:
What right does he have to involve himself on training effort, or lack of?Bolderhumphreyreid said:
This needs context.Airman Brown said:
MS certainly tried at least once last season.Jac_52 said:MuttleyCAFC said:I haven't got an issue with the owner suggesting the style of football he wants to see us play and promising to back the manager in getting the players needed to achieve it. It becomes more worrying when it gets like Roland explaining football tactics to a manager who is an ex England international. If Sandgaard thinks he has discovered the secret of success in terms of a playing style it is worrying in the extreme. There are many different paths but his backing is needed. With limited resources the approach has to always be a pragmatic one based on what you have and how your best players play.
The problem is, I don't know which of these is correct and I doubt many of us do. There are lingering doubts about Sandgaard based on genuine clues. I would say not yet definitive but that in itself is worrying. And we should be open to this possibility.
I agree with this. The turning point for me would be if Sandgaard is issuing Roland-esque emails or trying to dictate how training sessions should go.
Currently I have no reason to think that this is the case and if anyone knows differently then they should be making it public very very quickly. Until then we have to accept that there is nothing wrong with an owner wanting a certain type of football and finding the staff to implement it.
If he was at the training ground and saw a lacklustre group of players who were not putting a shift in then he’s more than got a right to ask for more surely?If he was there to effectively ask JJ to try something different in training then that wouldn’t be on.
Context please.
He’s an analyst, not his remit
He might say he used data in his last role but he’s never had a pure analytics position.For some context, the entry level data analysts on my team have published work, PhDs, skills across multiple platforms and coding languages. Minimum.5
