The problem with CN is that he spouts a lot of stuff that, when you scratch the surface of it, just doesn’t hold up to scrutiny.
The DOF role for example.
In those recent interviews with Hoopsa and WLS he was asked about his experience for covering that role. He came out with the spiel about his 2-3 year involvement with football in roles which by any measure would not qualify anyone to be the one responsible for such a position at this level.
In the interview with Conor when asked directly he replied (‘I’d be surprised’) to the effect that he believed only a minority of clubs in the Championship employed a DOF, again implying that it was somehow now a redundant role across the board, because that suited the narrative.
Given he was employed by the club as a consultant for a year to examine our set up and how to improve it you would think that a good starting point might be to look at what clubs who are having greater success that us are doing that we might not be. And yet he claimed he didn’t know how many were using a DOF model. Really?
A cursory look at clubs in the championship reveals the majority of clubs employ someone in that role, and most of them you would recognise as having long careers directly involved in football.
Swansea, Millwall, Sheff Weds (then), Blackburn, just a selection of comparable teams who did and all of whom finished above us last season.
Its spouting BS like this that loses credibility with people, just stop it, you might think it makes you look smart and clever but really it doesn’t.
Be in no doubt too, The Hand of Hoos remains firmly on the tiller. |

If we're going to be all about financial sustainability, as we should be, loan players can never be considered an upgrade over a player who you have under contract, because they're never yours |

Between the Spectre of Kelman, the ghostly Hand of Hoos, and the horror show that the start of the season has been we're starting to look like a mini series of Scooby Doo. |

I think Skol was brewed in Scotland then moved to Leeds in the early 90's. From memory I recall 4x being brewed in Wrexham. |

The manager is being far to passive in his assessment of our ability to compete, let alone win, a game.
We are only one or two players back/in from having the balance of a team able to hold their own, but equally we're only one or two key players out from being less than mediocre. |

If 'how we play' is more important than the outcome in a results based business it's not going to end well.
The last manager tried that and abandoned it for results and points. Have they learned nothing? |
