Weird post, it’s down the manager. He’s behind every signing as confirmed by Jared. To quote Mandy Rice Davies “ He would say that wouldn’t he “

The decision to spend 4 million quid on burger rather than a nailed on centre back like a Jake cooper is bizarre.
Looking at the career records of mcnally and Rose, why have we gambled to this extent on that key position?
Rose in particular looks like an absolutely appalling player
I'm not writing off Burger btw, he will need time and he'll be judged when he's had a chance to play in a balanced team with a striker to aim at. But an attacking midfielder shouldn't be prioritized over center back, so not sure why we signed a bunch of them and consequently we're playing one of them at fucking full back.
It's a total shambles as always

Love it if he did his video on stoke site , with his usp on signing a veteran left back only 1 and the 2 centre halves on the their quality of can’t tackle, can’t head it and have no pace Ricky go back to singing for a living He is a cliche riddled middle manager of David Brent proportions. His first interview about breaking down his initial spell into 20 days period. Putting players into a nice little wall chart where they are either culture architects or young potential. It's a load of shit. How about we start winning some actual football games and not having fancy little wall charts to show some ponzie scheme about how hard you are working.

But an attacking midfielder shouldn't be prioritized over center back, so not sure why we signed a bunch of them and consequently we're playing one of them at fucking full back. It's a total shambles as always I had doubts over Rose when he signed given his previously unremarkable career. Sadly, it looks as though any doubters' concerns are true, which would be fine when you accept some players are signed for the squad. However, he's now starting far more regularly than he should be and it shows how badly we did in recruiting for that area. I don't think for a minute that anybody thought McNally would be quite so bad given the reviews he got last season. Hopefully he's just out of form and will start to perform for us. Otherwise, we really could be up shit street. And what would we do if one of them got injured? I still believe we should have gone for Tuanzebe who, rocking up at Ipswich, looks like he had thousands of clubs interested... Burger will come good, but it will probably have to be without Laurent in there. Those two just don't look like working together in my opinion. And yes, £4M begins to look steep when said player hasn't really started brilliantly and there is a vacant hole at centre back. Not for a minute suggesting we shouldn't have signed him as that means the midfield would be even worse than it has been, but you do have to question the size of some of the mistakes we might have made.

Weird post, it’s down the manager. He’s behind every signing as confirmed by Jared. In which case why does our manRicky do for his handsome reward ,? He’s beginning ot male Mark Cartwright look like a technical genius Good question. Apparently it's Jared's job to know who is available and what it's going to cost . If it seems plausible he takes the idea to AN and the first team coaches ( Paul Gallagher) . If AN and the coach give it the green light, then Ricky takes over . Ricky is responsible for the nitty gritty of the contract details, ensuring we have enough loans for flexibility, enough contracted players for continuity and in total we are left onside with FFP.

How do people like Martin & Jared get into such influential positions within football clubs. Absolute charlatans the lot of them. Handing over responsibility for the direction & recruitment madness.

Yep, we need Gervais Light gone, quick smart, no self respecting new manager will want him helicoptering around and zooming in. But the statement reads like the opposite has happened, he is kind of in charge of the recruitment process. >>Technical Director Ricky Martin added: “The recruitment process is now underway and we will explore all avenues to secure the best person for the job. Crazy shit.

Who gives a flying shite if a player is a cultural architect if he is, for what ever reason, now absolutely toss at football. I actually don't mind Dublin as we have signed players who the club wouldn't have even blinked at before. The silence on him speaks volumes as well as I think above realise that's the direction we go in. My view had been you can't be Moneyball in recruitment then archaic in the manager.

I suppose they are accountable to the owner. Luton, Brentford and Brighton seem to appoint decent people, we seem to appoint used car salesmen (no offence intended to any car salesmen).

Hugely interesting he's gone both barrels and basically said RM is as much to blame as AN.

This is the issue that became apparent for me.
Either Neil was too brexit in his tactics for the squad we have built.
Or his no-nonsense style didn't click with them.
Wrong man for the job.

He gets less official info these days, as his contact got the boot from the Media Team. I suspect that contact is now revelling in briefing Percy on RM’s failure. (And there is probably a long queue of pissed off ex-SCFC employees who’d do the same)

Makes his recommendation to JC JC rubber stamps if he agrees or sends back for better. The football people running the club idea. Yeah, I know football people is used loosely here.

Yeah, I know football people is used loosely here. That's what I'm thinking. It works for others, so why not for us? The big bonus is it takes all the hard work (and in practice the decisions) away from JC. If the people in this structure are the right ones remains to be seen, but I'm not as disappointed as some on here with the work JD and RM have done so far. The players seem to be ok for the championship, it's the manager that's been the problem (yeah, I know this have been said every season since we came down...)
