People calling him a yes man and Beale Mk2 that’s not scepticism that’s just a ridiculous take

With the Beale stuff there's a comparison to be made, both spent most of their career as youth coaches and both not really enjoyed much success as a head coach.

The direction we're trying to go in is obviously getting in young players to develop to eventually sell and bringing in a youth coach as a head coach to develop them, I disagree with this approach and think it will end in failure but we can only wait and see what happens.

I do disagree we are buying young players to sell. Its more of case of buying young players to make better, if they outgrow the club or the club outgrows them, we will sell.

I think this is shown by us not selling anyone yet. Clarke going this season is an example of selling when they outgrow, if we were developing players to sell he would have been gone by now.
 
It does all seem a bit Beale-but-in-French to me.
But fingers crossed I'm wrong.
Certainly a bilingual coach is something we probably need.

And yep. After the last 6 months can't see Clarke being sold. We'd get way under his value. January after some good months is more likely.

I think it's more to do with getting in coaches that are just that - coaches. Them having worked their way up to senior level is just evidence that they can work with and develop players from the ground up, which is what we want. Plenty managers/coaches have come up in a similar fashion.

Correct. So don't burden yourself with problems that may not exist and you cannot fix.

Loads of football is slow and ponderous anyway. It can be a very dull game at times. I think people forget that.

That's interesting. I'd read on here they were in worse form than us at the back end of the season.

They picked up 4 points from the last 10 games. That's what people are referring to.

That was last season and more likely to get 5 at the back when defending as they were struggling with the personnel changes.

The 2022/23 season he used;

4-2-3-1 (20 games)
3-4-3 (8 games)
4-5-1 (8 games)

I haven’t listened to it yet to be fair. It’s just my assumption based on listening to them groan on for the past few years

Listening now, it's the most negative out the podcasts on the appointment. A bit conspiratorial for me, on why we have appointed him and managers turning us down.

Mention of the French players having all the same agent, which I think isn't anything.

The impartial journalist is good thought, provides good reasons to feel positive!

Sounds about right. Will have a listen later. The others so far have been quite well balanced imo.
