Never heard of TiFo OM but will certainly listen to it on your recommendation. Got to say even without hearing it I’ve already got the opinion he could be our silver bullet so like you I would tie him down on a long contract with a strict get out clause. It may cost us more initially but with incentives based on successes it could be good for us both. We may have found our own Sean Dyche?

didn't see this when it was originally posted.
interesting to re-judge again through the lens of what we've actually seen at BWFC.
easy to be optimistic at the time i can imagine.
now, I would say it's a really soft interview. no tough questions. from 2 people who clearly
don't watch football at that level on a regular basis. they sound the types who only follow the PL big 6.
elitist hipsters. no context to compare to previous years or anything.
they talk about stereo-types but they are the ones knocking them out through lack of knowledge.
just let Evatt spiel on. I still don't understand how his staff can be keeping data on all national
lge games. surely they only recorded it on games they played.
bearing in mind how much utter Bull IE comes out with..how much of this can be trusted.
prime examples of his bull.....paraphrasing .." can't wait for you see Reiss Greenidge. he's a rolls royce.....
pace, power. will be a big player for us.
reality..can't even get a run out in the cup.
Santos...." an absolute flyer...faster than van dijk.... i might be slightly over exaggerating with the paraphrasing ..lol
will suit the style of play with high offside lines
reality....
i've seen milk turn quicker. looks like he's got lead boots on with any run longer than 15 or 20 yds.
one of the most annoying things..is the complete lack of pressing. 6 second rule. match to match.. we just don't see this.
it's one thing not being able to pass it 5 yds. but this is just effort and fitness & organisation.
non-negotiables !!!if you were seeing some evidence of this... I might be more inclined to be more patient with this guy.
some of the questions are just absurd. can you just sign anyone and make them into a top player ?
yeah , that's why Pep always gets teams from Non-lge and takes them up thru the divisions to win the Champs lge !?!?
Evatt making plenty rods for his own back. expert in motivation...lol
he says you can sign the kind of players for his style on ANY budget... good no excuses there then. why ain't it happening then sonny Jim ?
these are the types of interviewers who'd have been going wild about Owen Coyle...linking him to Arsenal.
I 'm not one to forget Henry Winters glowing article about Dougie Freedman either.
I'm all for tactics and coaching and they can add a good 20% or whatever...but don't make players irrelevant
they are still a massive part..the main part. was his promotion largely about John Rooney (17 goals) & Scott quigley ( 20 goals).
plenty managers over the years have looked great with a top striker or other key player..then looked a complete dope without them.
Coyle looked great with Stuey Holden. as soon as he wasn't there he looked totally different.
plenty of our ex-managers looked good with promotions at other clubs..Megson , Coyle, Parky, Hill...
( Parky of course the only one to have a promotion with us too ).
Liverpool didn't improve with coaching...they improved with 2 key signings..Van dijk and Alisson.
yes, Klopps motivational skills and tactics then add a fair bit too.
to be fair to Klopp his signings have been relatively cheap too outside of the above 2. Mane, Salah, Robertson.
not buying big name finished products.
the defensive structure is something that a manager can take with him from club to club.
just as Pulis and BSA implemented their stuff at various clubs and kept so many from relegation.
Wilder had much better defensive stats in the championship than Farke ( at norwich).
i always felt they would come a cropper.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_EFL_Championship#League_tableNorwich for = 93 . against 57.
57 goals conceded in 46 games . Jaysus !!
Sheff utd only conceded 41.
if you're shipping 57 against championship attacks..how many will you concede in the prem !!
and the answer was... 75.
Wilder this year, certainly has his work cut out this year to save Sheff utd from an awful start.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019%E2%80%9320_National_League#National_League_tableBarrow let in 39 goals in 37 games. ( Covid reduced season obviously )
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%80%9319_National_League#League_tablethe previous seasons winners, Leyton Orient, only let in 35 in 46.
