Stats are interesting.

And what do you interpret from them? I'm struggling to come up with anything coherent. And I usually am not like that with stats.

It takes all sorts, maybe?

Only if they’re used to make a point. On their own they’re rather useless

In science, a negative result should be treated as as valuable as a positive. The conclusion we can draw is that previous experience is no predictor of success as a manager. Worth remembering when the time comes to choose the next one.

More important for me is the DoF's coaching experience in the game.

To my knowledge, Webber had none, whereas Knapper has plenty.

That's a move in the right direction for me.
 

Delete this. It's wrong. Knapper was loans manager at the Gunners. Still a move in the right direction.

I did think that he had experience as a player in the game, though?

PPS. He wasn't an ex-player either. 

I'm beginning to wish I hadn't started this posting, at least he's more football orientated than SW. though, imo.

Kudos for admitting your misapprehensions as you went along!

 

I don’t know, the alchemy of management (in general, not just football) is difficult to tie down, despite an endless churn of people telling others how to do it. Sometimes what you need in a leader is the ability to recognise people who are excellent at what they do, and to give them the resources (time, money, staff etc) to do it. You don’t always need to be expert in the area you are working in. Probably more true of a CEO than a sporting director though.

There's a little trick that I do when making a post: when I get an idea in my head about something but I'm not quite sure of the details, I open up another tab in my browser and look it up *before* hitting the submit button. Hope that helps.
