I imagine her investment representative does most of the meetings and she still owns 20%

Yup, he's been made a director... (I think this is her rep?)

That’s him. He was involved with meeting prospective purchasers, I believe.  (Was mentioned in an article in the athletic)

Sport Republic looking at purchasing second club. The story first appeared on not606 today.

Delmary busting out the obscure links 😁.

Never would’ve predicted they would look at Croatia for a club.  But pretty cool none-the-less.

Croatia away game pre season would be decent,  makes sense to play them in the Dragan Cup , are they near Split / Dubrovnik?

😁 - odds any good on this being a reliable source?

 

The source will be the link Delmary listed above. Probably a good source, TBH, as it’s so random.

That Devine fella has got a face you want to punch. Nothing new here, quite a dull watch to be honest.

I posted without watching and I now agree.

The Cucurella thing was the only newsworthy thing, IMO.

It would make absolute sense to have a Croatian club in the group. The number of world class players they produce from a population of 4M is very impressive, particularly as they are a relatively poor country.

Perhaps there's a correlation?

He would have been a good signing

Good club to link with. Pretty sure they are normally a top flight club before some financial issues after a stadium move. Sounds familiar. 

That’s what I thought. Good club

Dutch produce some quality players as well. Be decent to have links with clubs there and Croatia.

"Players apply to join Tonsser United and you would need a certain number of votes and data to be selected,” explains Holm. “We would also ask their coaches for feedback and send surveys to team-mates.

“We held the first of our selection events in Paris in January. We invited 30 players in three age groups and we filmed them going through a training session with our coaches and then split the groups for trial games. They all had wearable devices with accelerometers to track their movement and touches."

“All Tonsser United players will go on a watch list that clubs can pay to have access to — we currently have 50 different data points for each player and will get to 80."

“We will filter the data we collect from the app to find players to invite to join Tonsser United. Membership will cost €3 (£2.50) a month. We don’t want to price out anybody and that’s the price of a bus ticket."

“The membership will give players more visibility, access to opportunities and tools to progress, including capturing more data and video to their portfolios.”

“I have known the company for quite a while, the best part of five years, and I have always admired the mission they have,”

They are providing opportunities for young players and there are some massive inefficiencies in the system: who gets selected, who doesn’t.

“Technology can help solve that problem, and that is what Tonsser has done. It makes so much sense that technology can help provide more opportunities for players but also for clubs scouting players.

“Academy scouting is labour-intensive and with technology, you can bring the costs down but also be more effective.”

Key to its success will be the data it gathers on the players as that is what the clubs who use Tonsser are going to be interested in.

“This has been one of the issues traditionally with youth scouting,” says Ankersen. “There wasn’t always data available and that is why it is labour-intensive.

“But Tonsser offers a whole new level of granular data on youth players. If Tonsser is successful, it can change everything in youth scouting.”

“The whole area of talent development is something I have been interested in, not only through my work at Midtjylland, Brentford and now at Sport Republic, but also through my research, my books and studies into the best talent environments in the world,” Ankersen adds.

“I am passionate about talent development, and I am interested in it from a systemic point of view and how you build a system that captures all the talent and not just a very small proportion of the talent pool.

“Youth scouting is very difficult, no matter how good you are and what process you use. It is difficult to get right because there is so much uncertainty about how a player is going to develop as a human being and as a football player.

“It is difficult, but that’s why it is important to keep as many players in the system for as long as possible because you never know what trajectory their career will take. This is what Tonsser does.

“We need to get away from the idea of saying a player either has it or they don’t have it.”

Woeful appointment, go and look at the reaction of Pompey fans when they see this. 

How would the Portsmouth fans know whether he is a good or bad appointment for a role he didn't hold at their club?

Not sure it is too much of a worry, his appointment is nothing to do with Saints, his role is to identify new clubs across Europe for Sport Republic to acquire. Unless he cocks this up royally, it shouldn't impact us. It could be that this is what he is good at, if as Monk suggests he was a disaster as head of football operations at Skatesmouth. Its a mistake to think that everyone connected with Sport Republic is connected to Saints, we are merely one cog in that wheel (albeit the biggest cog at the moment)

Calm down Monk!

This isn't a club appointment anyway, it's someone who joins the Sport Republic Brand. He may have an input, but he's nothing to do with us day to day.

A world cup winning coach, a 2nd div coach in the land of total football and a guy how really shows just how high up you can play, despite having the most limited ability. Great inspirational examples! Welcome to the brand, Roberto! 😊
