Ownership & “Data Driven Project”


Steve F

Midfield
62 years old I like many on here are totally devoted to this football club, I have to some come across as being to negative towards KLD and KS for being critical of how in my opinion they have miss managed the club particularly around the CF position, which I believe is one of the reasons why TM is no longer our Coach his view shared by many, the three kids are a million miles away from Championship level.

We are told that the club utilise ongoing data to review player profiles and potential Head Coaches both in the UK and Abroad and have a data base that they continue to review. TM a truly genuine and decent man who has done a lot for this club is sacked and is about to be replaced by Michael Beale! Anyone who believes the shyte that will come out of KS mouth that he was our number one target needs to get a grip of reality. Our billionaire owner won’t or isn’t prepared to invest in anyone where we have to pay compensation. Think about that for a minute…. the most important man in the club after the ownership and they are going to try and convince a club that has an average attendance of 41k that this man is an improvement in TM and was the best available option, do they take us for absolute idiots ffs!!

There is an argument that TM may never have got us to the PL but know one will convince me that the vast majority of our supporters believe Michael Beale is the right appointment, I have NEVER seen a reaction like this either on this Board or other social outlets, we must be all wrong and KLD and KS no better, I don’t think so.

Paul Heckingbottom for one is a far better option than this man, as is Carskey the England U23 coach, to name two.

The reaction from many in the game when TM was dismissed was one of dismay and understandably so. A club with the greatest supporters in this country whose average attendance is in the top 40 across all of Europe are going to be told by the ownership how important we all are and get behind the new man when this is arguably the worst appointment we have ever made.

Off the field the club remains totally incompetent, ticketing, the club shop, it’s Christmas just go onto the website you can’t get many items they are out of stock or just not available. It’s Christmas and you can’t purchase many popular items!!

But like many I will be there watching a team that we love and will be long after KLD has gone and I like many will still be supporting the team.

Well said, there is no model, the lack of a striker proves KS has a scatter gun approach. Buy kids on the cheap and hope 1 or 2 comes good, sell on.
Some people will never question the club, they want to believe we have a futuristic model, a data driven approach.
If Ian Beale is near the top of the list of this data driven approach, he’s got his excel spreadsheet upside down. It’s just another out of work, cheap, 5th or 6th choice option.
Might as well kept TM or appointment Dodds.

Beale has a better win ratio than Mowbray if you are going by your post so that sort of contradicts your post.

The data however can be pulled to pieces however still it’s data.
 
Thanks, I have never ever felt so let down. People say Donald was a chancer and he was, however this owner is a billionaire and everything that I see going on in the club is on the cheap. They talk about high level performance and other buzz phrases, the reality of how the club is being run is completely the opposite.

I was pissed off yesterday and still pissed off this morning, what the fuck are they playing at?

Tremendous post mate. And I think you have captured the feelings of many of us. 53 years supporting the lads through massive ups and downs and this has to be one of the most deflating things. I have never trusted KLD since he lied about his ownership. And Speakman is a sly smug twat. Between them they are taking the piss out of the fans. I will continue to support the lads on the pitch. But KLD, Speakman and Beale can fuck off.

Well said. The feelings of a lot of long standing supporters right there.
 
Doing ok on the pitch, how can they get it so wrong off it?

Are they doing ok on the pitch?

It’s hardly a massive achievement to get a club like this to fifth in league one, and then through the third tier playoffs.

It’s hardly a massive achievement for this club to finish sixth in the second tier, with a points total that wouldn’t have made the top six in 11 of the previous 12 seasons.

And have we really not gone backwards this season? Would anyone not swap the current squad for what we had last year?!
