Weston Super Saint Posted March 29 Posted March 29 Nice to see we've posted a profit in excess of £5m. All that buying cheap shit players seems to have paid off. Now to claim the net spend badge again over the summer to really get the money rolling in - the two other clubs will benefit massively. 3
CB Fry Posted March 31 Posted March 31 (edited) It's about time that the club recruited someone who has built their knowledge on the back of football management games. Well done the club on finally finding the perfect person with that knowledge and those essential skills, it must have been a really tough task to find the right person. Edited March 31 by CB Fry 8
ChristopheVAFC Posted March 31 Posted March 31 I don't know this person but I hope he or she will do a good job for the good of our 3 clubs.

Expand You just have to hope that there are people above who have actually watched a player, understand their character and mental suitability for playing football at a high level who make the final decisions. Vegard Forren was a player I remember having a conversation with someone at our technical scouting team, and that player had all the stats to show he could play in the Premier League, but clearly did not want to move from Norway at that time so didn't have the right mentality. The tech team couldn't believe it didn't work, a human centred approach may have been more helpful that just stats. 2
