Another player who looked alright when he played but again not put in the team. If moneyball is our strategy then we’ve got a board who have no idea how it bloody works 😂


I’ll leave it with my tweet

Absolutely concur with this stoatey strategy matters more than money IMO and the likes of Brentford, Huddersfield, Millwall, Luton, etc are testament to this. There is absolutely no clue at the top level as to how to run this. The three obvious ways to continued and sustainable progress in this division are pretty simple and all involve trade 1) data model of recruitement, 2) links with agents, 3) young players. We’ve tried the super agent with Kia Joorabchin, they clearly don’t believe in the young players and the data basis were galaxies behind, nobody can say for definite whether we’re really using it. The two clubs whose owners founded football data companies are two of the smoothest off the pitch in this country, and that’s Brentford & Brighton.

Les has the job simply for PR, and before you gasp, no it’s not the colour of his skin. It is the fact he’s an ex-player. He was hired at a time when popularity in Fernandes was at an all-time low, and he was hired simply to smooth over poor relations with the fan base, the thinking being they (us fans) won’t complain if we get a fan favourite in to the club. If he hadn’t played for us he wouldn’t have the job, and he wouldn’t have got the same job anywhere else.

I've said it before...on the rare occasions he played for us I don't remember him doing much wrong...another player who we could have done with having over the last couple of months
