📝 New Manager [Luke Williams Appointed]

[legs77]

We lack experience in the boardroom. Two brothers who own a footy club, no experience & RM no experience of being involved in a club.
I wonder what contacts they have in the game?

Jason Turner has been around a while in football and they might have people in the background.

Everyone starts with no experience in all trades you learn and addapt if you are smart and I think these guys are smart.

Jason Turner has built up a fair amount of football experience and the brothers are calm, sensible, analytical people who are building experience as they progress. After many years of watching the club lurch from one owner and crisis to the next, I welcome the stability we've got now. I haven't had to check the Companies Court listings for more than three years!

It's the nature of football fans that they want success today, and I'm really no different, especially in the immediate aftermath of a disappointing result, but I've got no problem whatsoever with our owners so far. I firmly believe they have the club's best interests at heart, and you can't say that about some football club owners elsewhere.

Totally agree with the above

JT has only just been appointed to the Board, but the other 3 have no previous experience of running a club & the rigmorals. Time will tell.

There’s a couple of interesting options in the US, ex English and Scottish pro’s but still young and doing well over there.

Any comment on what data clubs look at for a manager aside win % as I’m not sure IBs pre Notts screamed ‘hire me’.

On the subject of the new manager, an interesting description on Wikipedia of the management style of John Askey as observed by certain players. A guy who likes to play good, attacking, passing football but has more than just a Plan A:

'Askey has a reputation for playing attractive football and for managing teams on a budget by spotting ability in young players and helping revive the careers of players whose careers had stalled. His favoured formation is a 4–3–3 and he prefers to play with a high-tempo, pressing style. Former player Adam Yates said that Askey was a hard working coach who was open to input from his players and did not hold a grudge; in terms of tactics he felt Askey was "quite fond of the three in midfield and three up top". Macclesfield and Port Vale defender Kieran Kennedy said that Askey liked to play passing football but also "he had a plan B, C and D which really helped us if we were up against it." Football agent Phil Sproson described Askey as "an attack-minded manager".'

If you were to write a profile for a manager who could keep the best aspects of Ardleyball and Burchball, but also address the perceived weaknesses of their approach, this description isn't far off!

Apparently the odds are now back up, according to the tw@tterarti.

Manure got a johnny foreigner in, is Prem different?

Yes. It would be very difficult for a non league club to get a tier 2 visa for someone as one requirement is for them to be an elite sportsperson or coach. That usually only includes the Premiership and FL.

Plus visas used to take an age to get, not sure if that's improved.
