Worcester Owl Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 A perfectly legitimate enquiry by PTB, well done guys. No harm at all in the Board being reminded that they are under fair and effective scrutiny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 I tend to think that he DOF model is the best one in the modern age. But it does rather depend on who the DOF is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. In theory it should provide a blueprint/structure and continuity - if a change in head coach is needed, they are appointed on the basis of following a consistent strategy. Rather than changing strategy and a full squad overhaul every time a head coach leaves or underperforms and is sacked. But when your DOF has demonstrated a clear lack of strategy and competence you've got no chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you include overseas players, stats, diet, fitness etc. there is just too much in the game to be the responsibility of one person. It's moved on. There's nothing wrong with the model. Equally I believed that the Lemsagam model of bringing under-researched players in, developing them and selling them on wasn't actually a bad idea. Unfortunately it has been appallingly executed and Brexit is probably its death knell anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Like goalkeepers and defenders messing about it's a trend which will be binned by future 'forward thinking' coaches in the future. Cull the poor agents too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cull the poor agents too. Much as I agree with you about agents status in the game I'm afraid you'll be proved wrong with your statement regarding goalies and defenders playing out from the back. The problem lies with players trying to play out to the exclusion of hitting it long when it's necessary. I agree that it's virtually a waste of time at our level but I'm afraid the world's moved on in lots of ways, including this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeP Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 Are most clubs using the DoF model these days? Unless the DoF and “Head coach” are completely in sync, it seems a tough gig for the Head Coach to mould a team with the players the DoF tosses his way...

We need to find a Head Coach who's "in sync" with our DoF. Surely there's somebody on this planet !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted March 8, 2021 Share Posted March 8, 2021 If Curle isn't here by the start of next season because Mo's forced him out, then a Not A Penny More boycott campaign would be in order until Mo is gone. It's a good appointment by the board with a proven track record in League Two and they deserve credit for it. But if they screw it up so soon then more drastic action surely has to be taken by us fans, because nothing else would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait till then why not start now 14 games left watching players going through motions. £140 saving there. Plenty you can do with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty you can do with that. Because this is actually a proven appointment at this level and I'm impressed that they've acquired him. But the issue is how they deal with the bosses they bring in. When we hired Scholes he was the best chance we have had for many off-the-pitch reasons, but of course he was a managerial gamble because he had no prior experience. Whereas this is the appointment with the most managerial experience (and success) that this ownership has made by some distance, so if we throw this chance away so soon then I can't see this ownership getting another one.

owdumer Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 At least in his first interview Curle spared us the old chestnuts about "big club" "need to get back to where it should be" etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
