Im not obsessed. Just clear about her position and it’s not fitness coach. You and a few others are desperate to play down the role the likes of Austin and Robert’s have at the club.

Maybe working group is a better word. I doubt the flow is as waterfall as you suggest.

Isn’t that literally what the “modern setup” is? Head coach works with the long term plan of the DoF and the deck assembled by the recruitment team?

She was involved in interviews for staff and worked with Austin on the psychological profile of signings. These are her words.

We’re talking about multiple things here. On boats I think it’s a fairness thing and the numbers are fairly irrelevant if we can show everyone has genuine need. I’m not sure we can do that, but in theory. On work I think most would accept high skill workers but we don’t need to import...

Then he’s a manager not a head coach. There will be a panel for decisions like recruitment of staff and players, it will be the manager/DoF, the Head of Recruitment and the Performance Director.

Who has said she dictates tactics and recruitment? Are you doing that thing again?

The fact that the only player I’d be confident of getting our money back on is Wright says it all.

Are we sure? Has anyone checked on Mbappe?

No Lampard would report to the DoF. For now he essentially is DoF like Robins was.

We’re supposed to have an amazing squad. That’s why the chairman got rid of the manager and brought in and “elite coach” who will get the best out of our obviously amazing players.

is an earthquake supposed to to be a good thing?

In fact you could say he….. played Rudoni at left back *runs and hides*

He was being told to pull wide. Lampard likes his wide forwards to tuck in, I think the idea was that Dasilva tucks into a back three, MvE and Rudoni push high and wide and Saka EMC and Bassette should be the ones attacking the ball. But that’s mostly a guess based on how he’s set his other...

Hahaha ok. Titles don’t matter. Personal statements on responsibilities don’t matter. Involvement in certain level decisions don’t matter. Everyone’s job is whatever some guy on SBT needs it to be at that minute to support his argument.

All the emotion is on the side of the people desperately scared they’ve advocated the wrong way and now running around jumping on and criticism and desperately trying to play down the last eight years. As I said yesterday if Robins has assembled a shit squad, and is a shit manager, then the...

Sure. I mean just because Doug says he’s CEO we don’t know that that doesn’t mean he cleans the toilets.

That’s more about office politics than org charts.

The problem is Austin is the bottleneck and the filter. He’s only going to bring forward players he’s identified according to the managers asks. If he’s shit at identifying players then the manager might pick the shiniest turd but it’ll still be a turd. Recruitment quality really does come down...

All the decisions made sense in isolation. But the culmination of them all is disastrous. You’d think someone is keeping an eye on the psychological mix of the squad and staff.
