Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF? What's Wilcox's credentials and body of work that he's tasked with developing a long term vision/style of play?

I don’t care who does it. It’s just pleasing to hear that someone will be doing it.Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF? What's Wilcox's credentials and body of work that he's tasked with developing a long term vision/style of play?
There's nothing indicating he'll be the sole person coming up with the vision & the plan, just that he'll be the one executing the task.Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF?

It's never going to be a decision of just one person for an organisation this size. I think it should be safely assumed that it is going to have a ton of input from Berrada, garden-man and a ton of other people at the club.Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF?

Oh, get ya. AgreedNo I meant it should have already been the norm here and at any club really that the kids and youth play the same tactics as the first team.
this x 100 timesI don’t care who does it. It’s just pleasing to hear that someone will be doing it.
it’s mental to know it’s taken until now for this to happen
Southampton. He only arrived last summer and he implemented a style of play and identity that was carried out from the youth teams to the first team. He even hired his head coach in Russell Martin who fit his vision.Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF?

You'd imagine he's been in talk with Ashworth whilst they've both been comparing gardening techniques.Shouldn't this piece of work be something led by the DoF? What's Wilcox's credentials and body of work that he's tasked with developing a long term vision/style of play?

what a load of nonsense. So in the matter of one day the style and vision has been decided and implemented. Ok....Tweet

Of course he will. He is deciding along with the club the style of play. Its up to the coach to implement it.The delusion of folks thinking Wilcox will have any say in match day tactics
Exactly. I mean SJR has already said that they will set the blueprint and he expects the coach to work to thatOf course he will. He is deciding along with the club the style of play. Its up to the coach to implement it.

Of course he will, a technical director is tasked with establishing compelling coaching and playing philosophies.The delusion of folks thinking Wilcox will have any say in match day tactics
He's a magician if he can sell those players for even more than a few million eachTweet

If he wants to keep his job then he’ll change his way of playing. He said when he came in he couldn’t play his possession based like he did at Ajax because of different players etc. now that he’s been given the licence to play that way he should have no problem doing it… this tells us that the new people in charge are going to sign players based on the style of play they want in the summer. If ETH goes against this then he’ll probably be sacked or even may walk out.A manager can't just change the way he plays because a technical director wants him too. The only thing that will change is the manager if the current style of football continues, which it will because this is how ETH wants to play and it doesn't work in this league.
i'm sure Fiorentina will have something to say if Wilcox sells Amrabat.He's a magician if he can sell those players for even more than a few million each
Some of these have outlasted there stay anyway. Martial should have been gone years ago but due to keep changing managers there’s always the case where there given a new chance under a new manager and different style but it’s not worked under any.Tweet

For two of them their contracts expire in 2 months, he isn't selling them at all, strange list.He's a magician if he can sell those players for even more than a few million each
There's been a suspicion for some time that Ten Hag was told by the hierarchy to play with certain principles - the so called United Way - and that certain players were untouchable. When we look at all the games this season, and compare it to what we saw last night, there was a marked shift in tempo, positioning and amount of transitions. Even compared to matches against much weaker opposition like Newport and Coventry. Sheffield are quite poor, so it might just be because of that, but there were some changes last night that felt a bit more intentional than just "the opposition is crap, so we get more time". There were patterns last night we haven't really seen much of before. Plus Casemiro is quite good as a centreback.what a load of nonsense. So in the matter of one day the style and vision has been decided and implemented. Ok....
Reading into it too much. He basically just summed up what he remembered about Wilcox there and then, and concluded with "I am looking forward to our partnership"Backhanded compliment, or am I reading into this too much?
