Some of the criticism of her is clearly gendered though. The appointment of a former Premier League executive to oversee sports science at the club should hardly be considered a controversial appointment, but people are still questioning her credentials. There’s an inherent mistrust and doubt about her role not only because it’s coincided with a dip in form, but also because she’s a woman working in a business that almost always hires men. I’m not saying that’s the world’s greatest injustice, nor am I saying she should be immune from criticism over the things she controls, but I don’t thing you can totally ignore that aspect either.
Yes it’s gone downwards but it’s not the fault of iPads is it? Come on it’s ludicrous
Not sure John Taylor seems to be occupied more on the commercial side. Match day operations, retail and ticketing.Wouldn't they report to the coo?
Yeah this is a much more sensible view.the structure behind the scenes has coincided with the downward spiral
process have been implemented. the process currently not working
will it work in the future, who knows but we have gone from a playoff final team to a bottom half championship team since the changes have been made
robins is not immune from criticism but he’s been made the scapegoat
Easier to sack a manager than 6 back room staff
King has a vision and robins wasn’t part of the plans. clear to see

I’m not really sure to be perfectly honest with you, but that’s not what my post was aboutWhat improvements has she brought about?
And if its too soon to see results how long do we give her?
Why wasn't Robins afforded the same patience?

As I said, the iPads are emblematic.Yes it’s gone downwards but it’s not the fault of iPads is it? Come on it’s ludicrous
Would you leave it to the last minute? Palmer was still under contract, it was made clear it wasn’t going to be renewed, he took a longer term offer.He was still under contract though
Probably just because he's the most experienced player in the squad. Although it should've been Sheaf really.Interesting that Bidwell, who hasn’t played for a month and isn’t captain, has been trotted out to do the pre-match press conference today.
It’s fuck all to do with her being female. She has a string of qualifications - BSc (Hons), BEng (Hons), MPhil, PhD, CPsychol, AFBPsS, CSci, PGCertHE, FHEA so her paper credentials are superb.Some of the criticism of her is clearly gendered though.

Literally no one on here knows exactly what her role entails. Any criticism is based on pure speculation. She definitely gets targeted because of her gender and it's quite disgusting.Some of the criticism of her is clearly gendered though.

No I was just talking about Henry Winter as is quite clear.So one minute you're saying don't believe the ITKs on the forum.
Then I respond to one with a quote from a journalist and you're siding with the ITK, (or seemed to be)
Nothing I have said about the performance director has anything to do with their gender. That’s an easy smear to apply to diminish someone else's opinion.Literally no one on here knows exactly what her role entails. Any criticism is based on pure speculation.

No, John Taylors remit is non football operations i.e. the running of the club as a business.Wouldn't they report to the coo?

If you were expecting her (or any one backroom staff member) to transform the team one way or the other within the space of a few months then that’s probably more on you imoIt’s fuck all to do with her being female. She has a string of qualifications - BSc (Hons), BEng (Hons), MPhil, PhD, CPsychol, AFBPsS, CSci, PGCertHE, FHEA so her paper credentials are superb.
However the performance on the pitch has still been awful.
On pitch performance is not her fucking job as many people have told youIt’s fuck all to do with her being female. She has a string of qualifications - BSc (Hons), BEng (Hons), MPhil, PhD, CPsychol, AFBPsS, CSci, PGCertHE, FHEA so her paper credentials are superb.

no she doesn't, that would be the role of a SD or DOF if we had one.Surely the name Performance Director gives it away what her roll is. She over sees the playing side including coaches
Surely that would be a director of football?Surely the name Performance Director gives it away what her roll is. She over sees the playing side including coaches

Her remit is integrating the various sports science and medical roles.
Explain to me what she does on a day to day basis then.Nothing I have said about the performance director has anything to do with their gender. That’s an easy smear to apply to diminish someone else's opinion.
This should be interestingExplain to me what she does on a day to day basis then.
Struggling to see the words Performance and Director in either of them jobs?She worked for the premier league as Coach development and Elite development.
Her role is to create the right environment in the broad sense for athletes to perform to their physical and mental potential.Explain to me what she does on a day to day basis then.
It's not a case of expecting a transformation but it's not unreasonable to see signs of improvement of which there is little or no evidence.If you were expecting her (or any one backroom staff member) to transform the team one way or the other within the space of a few months then that’s probably more on you imo
That’s really fantastic, we have 15 points from 14 games,She worked for the premier league as Coach development and Elite development.
She's over seeing on field activity inc coaching what would include sport science and phycology
Hence why we have been seeing more player development of off field activities like cooking and coaching
Best part of a year.If you were expecting her (or any one backroom staff member) to transform the team one way or the other within the space of a few months then that’s probably more on you imo
I'm not sticking up for her at all , just some on here think she oversees the managerWhy are people so desperate for no criticism to be levelled at her? Not by any means saying if she wasn't here we'd be flying and in the play off places but I don't see why its viewed as unacceptable to ask questions of her role because she's a woman.
We've been told part of her role is implementing a new coaching structure. That structure has been heavily criticised both in terms of the structure and the personal recruited. What makes her above reproach when she was involved in changes many see as an abject failure.
Similarly we've been told she's involved in player recruitment to ensure we bring in the 'right' type of player. There's been a lot of criticism of the recruitment, and all sorts of anger directed at the recruitment team for wasting millions but again we can't question her role in it? One thing that has been specifically criticised with some of our signings is their attitude, that's specifically a thing this role is supposed to have improved.
Not saying she's to blame or bad at her job but it baffles me that for some reason people are getting upset that questions are being asked.
That’s going well, isn’t it?Her role is to create the right environment in the broad sense for athletes to perform to their physical and mental potential.
She isn’t taking training, picking teams, picking tactics, deciding formations, making or not making substitutions, identifying players in foreign markets etc etc.
Some fans overstate her impact negatively because not to do so would force them to challenge their loyalty to Robins.
A more rational approach would be to be grateful for Mark’s huge contribution whilst accepting that he has his limitations too.
