That will be the kid from India who stays up all night watching games to compile stats on players.

Just something else folk like to moan about

No need to mock a positive thing, can't see any downside to it

Issue is most on here are more concerned with what happens on the pitch, bamming about what we do off it won't get us points.

His job IS off pitch matters though. Surely you're not suggesting he starts getting involved in coaching/picking players et cetera? 🤔

Well rumour has it that yes he does have an input into the matchday team! Its a rumour that has crept up on here and in conversation with fellow supporters a few times, and its one that evidence can be found to support that, so its one i keep an open mind on. I also think his role should have some very limited input if we are to achieve the Ogrens long term profit objective, but the way i am picking it up, the involvement is way too much for me to be comfortable with if true.

aye when scouts are coming for specific players rumour has it he tells the manager they will play

the tangerine pound or should it be penny?

I don't recall saying that TTT so put the rod away, my point is what matters most is on the pitch, what happens off it has no relevance if we're crap on it,
Our changing room showers being the best in Europe doesn't quite offset the shower on the pitch being amongst the worst.

Apparently if you aren't winning games the club should not comment or put out anything about off field matters.... but then when they don't they aren't being transparent enough

Be crap to run a club in this day and age
