I hope this is true but have to admit it’s based on second hand reports and the hype. Unlike players where you can see how good or otherwise they are. With DOF it’s difficult to assess what they’ve done in previous roles. We could name improvements made in MA’s time with us but very few, if any, could say what he did day to day, so what hope have we of assessing what he done at Southampton.
Southampton from the outside did seem a well run club, the talk of database of players with detailed stats for each player and their scouting networks does sound good so hopefully he’s given the budget to implement something similar up here.
I agree. There are a lot of people getting carried away with hype over the appointment, based on hype from others.
Like you alluded to, when signing a player you can have a fair understanding of the players attributes, going by what you can see with your own eyes. With this kind of appointment, you don’t really, really, know what you’re getting.
There’s a lot of talk on here of him ‘taking us to the next level’ - I hope he does, but it’s best to wait and see.
Buying players with EPL money and enticing players to EPL, is a different ball game to buying players with SPL money and enticing them to Scotland.
