I see that Tobias Phoenix has left BWFC.
Is this a change of direction or is it cost cutting?

I imagine a bit of both. The results of his work do not correspond with the amount he was getting paid.

It looks a if it's something to do with the announcement we've been promised on the future of the Academy. He. like others, has obviously been on furlough.

Seems a bit of a fall guy to me.
Just dont know what we really did or didnt do but i think to say that all the bad players we have is due to Phoenix and all the good buys are Evatts is a stretch.
The ones we can pinpoint to IE are Tom White, with Evatt. Baptiste and Gilks and Crellin via Gilks. And Fonz and possibly Doyle but dont think he took much scouting(was his signing prior to IE?)

Making way for Big Sam to come in? Not going to happen whites. There's too may clubs at the top end that needs rescuing. Derby, Sheff Weds, WBA, Burnley, Fulham... Leeds dropping off a bit. It's all about the money, which we don't have. |

It's all about the money, which we don't have. Cant imagine the scenes in Leeds if they replaced Bielsa with Big Sam. Throw in the Celtic job too maybe? I cant personally see Sam being anything other than a manager. Kevin Davies i hear was interested in a role like that. For a few years we had an imabalance of Coyle working with Megson players, Freedman with Coyles and Lennon with Freedmans and it costs us a fortune and didnt work so i thought the DOF with coaches working with/under was the right way. Right way wrong man. I'm only guessing but think TP probably blagged his way in and when someones checked what hes working on probably found him in his office playing Football Manager from 9-5 |

Can't see the Celtic job for BSA. It would be sending him into oblivion.
If Leeds are desperate enough, then why not? Look at Sheff Utd. whites thought Wilder was the best thing since sliced bread last season. Look at 'em now. Wilder may be next to go.

Isnt Bielsa a deity in Yorkshire. Some fans got carried away some realised 17th position would be a success and they're on course.

I agree OM, you had a very convincing post on this subject a while back. seems like Evatt-backers trying to deflect blame from him . (not specifically on here, in the wider fan-base..stuff i see on twitter /fb etc ) like you say look at the detail... not too many arguments about Sarce & Doyle..team of the year players last season. Delf is doing ok . Crawford and Delaney already here. Baptiste and Gilks & White....all knew or worked with Evatt in the past and didn't Gilks play a role in finding Crellin. Jones is decent when played right back or rwb. people have been raving about Santos up til recently. Isgrove has looked decent. Tutte has been good. Kioso was an Evatt signing. you're always going to have 20-30% of signings not work . this article suggests buying at this level with frees & short contracts, even 40% success rate isn't that bad. he also rates good/bad signings during the Hill/ Lennon, Parky, freedman era's too for a bit of fun..to compare. bwfcanalysis.wordpress.com/2020/11/06/great-expectations/ |

So now have David Lee, Nicky Spooner and Gavin McCann gone as no place could be found for them in the new coaching set up. Such a shame to lose all that experience and now the club will presumably fill their posts with nobody’s who have no history or affiliation to the club. Can’t help feeling this is a major mistake and what does it say to the young players who hoped to achieve what they did for the club? A lot of memory’s rubbed out today, it’s a good job Sir Nat wasn’t still employed or he’d have gone too with this lot!!
