PP - out of interest how old are you and what is/was your profession?
He's 59 and used to own a fish factory. The money of which was used to enable him to become the principle funder of our proud club until recently. He was also in charge of regeneration locally until recently despite not being able to deliver Fentydome in 18 years.

Russell Slade brought in an analyst, when he left Anthony Limbrick and Michael Jolley were doing their own analysis with AL doing the most if it and sending stuff out to individual players and when they left Ian Holloway brought in a young lass who did it.
As for no technology, Alan Buckley didn't use it and he didn't do too badly.
At the end of the day you can have the best analyst and the best software but if your players aren't good enough it means sod all.

Out of curiosity, do you think the culture of the club needs changing?
What our colours should be red, gold and green. Red, gold and green?

Failed in everything he said he would do really no palm tree kicked off the council his only success was to get all his money back from years of failure plus kept the money he got from the trust. I have been in poor health recently but seeing the back of him has picked me up no end.

Ahh, so we're the only ones smart enough to know that we'll definitely get promoted with 2 expensive executives. Hopefully nobody else figures that out before the start of the season.
Ps, I think Bradford have several ridiculous positions, hasn't helped them.
What a shame that Mr Stockwood (who sold his business for $490 million) didn't listen to footballing experts like you and your chum Fenty

...............”a job that could have been done by a consultant”.
I have seen how consultants work. Many are bright and personable. Some have varied experience in different fields. But, they will come into a business not knowing anything of the history, culture and politics.
Consultants will talk to the staff who do know about these things. They will then present their findings in a report (based on what the staff have told them) to senior managers. For a lot of money.
So, employing consultants at GTFC would be expensive for little gain and no development in the longer-term.
Another inherent weakness of engaging consultants would be avoided by our new owners. Weak leaders and managers get consultants to write reports saying that there needs to be staff cuts. they then announce staff cuts saying there are based on independent assessments by consultants. They do not have the guts to do it themselves.
Pen penfras, if consultants are the answer then the wrong question is being asked. I welcome the appointment of a CEO to put the club on a more professional business footing. After the last 18 years we sorely need to.

Well he was never relegated and you haven't answered the point that we have been using similar software for the past few seasons without success. Also please explain why all those ex league clubs like Chesterfield, Notts County, Wrexham who were using such software before we did all got relegated to the National league and why other clubs struggle each season. An analyst and software doesn't win you promotion nor does it prevent relegation, it's all about the quality of players and a manager who knows what he is doing.

The last paragraph is correct but it's also about improving lots of things by a small amount. Every little detail adds up to an overall improvement. Those other teams may well have had the same software, but perhaps deficient in other areas. If it makes us 1% better, that could be the difference between promotion and just missing out.
