Rudderless is how I see the club at the moment.
We have owners who we hardly ever hear from.
We had a "Director of Football" (sort of) who left for greener pastures (Traore as a parting gift). On Swansea City's site their owners described his role at Notts as "He was tasked with running the club?s football operations, including overseeing player recruitment, managerial appointments, academy operations, medical, sports science, and analysis." A very big hole to fill but we have heard nothing other than their first statement where they said "it presents us with an opportunity to review our current set-up to ensure we?re in a strong position to continue the club?s positive progress". So who is having to carry out those tasks now?
We have a Chief Executive who we only hear from if they are talking about The Nest.
We have a manager who has lost his 2 most senior coaches after an incident at the beginning of the year only to have them replaced by an analyst.
So what are we hearing from the club? Absolutely nothing!
Are we progressing with the appointment of a new "DoF" to help oversee the running of the club and starting to analyse our needs for next season? Don't know!
Are we going to bring in experienced coaches to help reduce the enormous additional workload that must have been put on SM? Who knows!
The latter point is the most relevant at the moment because it would make a big difference to our on the field performances.
Crowley needed to be replaced. I know we are aiming for sustainability but drops of 2000 on the gate per match (?40000???) is worrying. Reminds me of the saying about knowing the price of everything but the value of nothing.
Silently ambling along with no direction or purpose. To me we seem Rudderless.
