Hall Of Fame
Had to look him up on Wiki as I'd never heard of him...Originally Posted by magpie_mania
Playing career ended effectively when he was 26. Not much after Burnley, apart from doing OK for Tampa aged 30
I like that he has international experience - in USA (and a bit in Calcutta!)
We really need to hear from The Bros and Gagliardi what convinced them (if it turns out to be true)

They did already

This is the quote you'd expect...
''In our conversations with him it?s been clear that he shares our vision of playing dynamic, progressive football and, as much as the club?s DNA will remain the same in terms of our desire to dominate the ball, we believe he may bring more intensity and directness to our play.
Martin wants his teams to be extremely hard-working, well-organised and difficult to play against''

The second part of the OS post is interesting
Edwards and Slocombe will join Paterson, our owners, Gagliardi and Director of Performance Dr David Rhodes on a newly-formed Technical Board which will meet regularly to discuss football strategy, team and player performance, data insights and other matters.
Ahead of each match, relevant members of the Technical Board will share views relating to tactical approach and team selection, taking into account factors such as player fitness and readiness, data modelling and opposition analysis. Paterson, as Head Coach, will have ultimate decision-making responsibility for each game plan.
Post-match meetings will also take place, enabling the coaching team to explain in-game decisions and for a data-led review of the match to be presented, including insights on physical and technical outputs of the team and individuals.
The Technical Board will also develop a process to support the coaching team in making more effective in-game decisions. This will involve supplying a variety of data-led metrics, analysis and insights to the dugout in as near to real-time as possible.
Chris and Alex said: “To provide greater context around our decision to form a Technical Board, Notts County is one of only a few clubs in the world to have its own bespoke data model. This model forms the framework of our company, Football Radar, which is highly adept at rating players, predicting outcomes and analysing performances.
“Over the past six years we have been gradually implementing our model at the club, a process which naturally takes time, and we’ve seen good progress on the pitch as well as positive steps towards financial sustainability.
“However we believe that, in order to make further progress towards our ambitious goals, now is the time to make an even stronger commitment to our model – hence our desire to create a structured framework which enables specialist individuals to give their own perspective on various aspects of the club’s football strategy, while also ensuring that the rationale behind important decisions are fully understood by everyone.”
