Thought this was the most interesting part of the article as it relates to our struggles this season, haven’t seen it mentioned really in the press until today:

“Though there is research to show that managers make negligible difference to performance – the key metrics of success are how much you spend on your players and therefore the quality of your squad – data also has blind spots. The emotional unity of a squad and its alignment with the personality of the manager is vital and can make a significant difference. Yet it is almost impossible to measure and requires a human rather than a data-led judgment to decide whether this manager is the right fit. “Just because you can’t measure it doesn’t mean it isn’t real,” said one football data analyst.”

Lange may well have been one of the early proponents of a data led approach. But swinging so far in that direction is what has gotten us in this mess. My hope is that RDZ gets into the heads of the players as well as being a modern, data driven manger that can fit with the structure of the club.

With that in mind, it's been heartening to see this reported:

I appreciate that there's the usual scepticism about the early positive messages with a new coach but this is pointing to a specific and focussed change that is being responded to well. As opposed to more generic reporting on vibes.
