Chris Badlan would fit that bill wouldn't he? I reckon it's going to be him, with a serious anti drink and talk ban on him...

He was just very naive at Blackpool, but some Heads of Recruitment move into Sporting Director roles and it all goes pear-shaped. If we bring him in as an HoR, he can’t go wrong.

Alex Neil: "What is you assessment of player A Bayern?" Bayern: "I've looked at his stats boss and they are really good but stats are a load of bollocks. My assessment is he's wank"

Alex Neil would be out on his arse if I was head of recruitment and I’d be in.
Got to aim for the stars.

I’m not sure Gods, most of the players we’re linked with nowadays I have the same reaction to as you 🤣

Sounds like a backroom data boy from a relegated or promoted Champ club? . I don’t see why you have to bring his sexuality into it

I assume he identified Meite. It’s hard to judge anyone from Reading as they’ve been run on a shoestring now for so long. He could have identified loads of players but they’ve had no money and embargoes. Edit: after you second comment, he wouldn’t have found Meite then.

If he can do for us what he did at Sheff Utd,we can't have many complaints.

On the face of it, looks to be a very decent but more importantly, a very progressive appointment.
Very good. Next.

A 'Data Specialist' role, can't help but imagining a person with 'Data Specialist' as their title when connected to a football club means they were once a Football Manager geek who managed to get a break into proper football on the back of being good at that, & haven't look back 🤣

Watched a short profile documentary about Will a few weeks ago & he seems absolutely bob on with his management style & background! Suprised he hasn't been talked up about bigger jobs yet but I guess he's probably more than happy where he is and I'm guessing any club of a higher profile appointing him would create unnecessary pressure on himself & a bigger club job offer would undoubtedly create a buzz of apprehension and worry amongst that clubs fanbase! Could you imagine him ever linked to the Stoke managers vacancy?! They'd be loads who say they'd never heard of him! Then once the mandatory Google search of his name had been completed everyone would question his football background and knowledge! Be interesting for sure. But I'd actually quite like this approach he uses as it's something different, definitely appears to work and reap rewards, & prevents the usual suspects like Bruce & Allardyce being recycled around constantly..

To be honest, I’d never heard of him but a quick Wiki search suggests he’s been very successful. I couldn’t care less what path someone took to get there, I’d just want someone in the building who delivered. I’m a big believer in mixing non-traditional pathways with the traditional. Uniformity is often ineffective.
