Midlands Yellow 4,057 Posted October 31, 2023 5 minutes ago, Capt. Pants said: In some ways we have to hope Wagner can keep the points ticking over and bide us a bit of time to get a strategically chosen replacement. A couple of more defeats and other results go against us that relegation zone looks even closer and we simply must take action. It's not my preferred option but might be sensible in these circumstances. I'd wanted Schumacher here last time and he'd be my choice but technically he's not available and Plymouth would want compensation - an additional expense we don't need. You never know perhaps there is stuff going on in the background with Webber and Knapper. He looks what we might need, he’d walk here for this job. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great recipe for success. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Great recipe for success. In this moment we may not be much better than Plymouth but the size of the club means we've got significantly more potential than them longer term. I've no doubt if we wanted him and were willing to pay the compensation, we could get him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted November 2, 2023 I can only imagine that anyone suggesting Wilshere has never heard him speak in public, he’s not a manager… 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RugbyCanary 94 Posted November 2, 2023 I know he wouldn't but I still think with a new SD, poss new majority shareholder soon (hopefully)...kk would be worth an open cheque book punt. Start fresh......new ideas from the top down (almost like farke). Yes we are a 'small' club but that shouldn't detract from what we can/could achieve (1993/94) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stats can be useful to confirm views on players. But using data as the key to finding players is stupid. Requirement is so key these days, yet the recruitment teams are full of data analysts, why don't we have ex footballers in the recruitment team. I remember a scout told me many years ago its easy to find the best player in any team just ask a few fans, they know who is good. to prove the point when did a bad player win norwich player of the year award. compared to how many bad players we have had. with so much money in the game, then it brings such BS i.e. recruitment teams locked in a room crunching numbers . Im a black belt six sigma management consultant , so i understand data and BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ll personally pick the team for a couple of grand per game Thats reasonably cheap You really don’t have to be Einstein to pick from this squad 1 Goalkeeper no choice 2 ageing Centre Backs as I won’t risk playing youngsters as other clubs scouts might poach them Scotlands answer to Beckham in midfield Strikers take your pick ain’t going to make much difference to the result 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
