Areas we're seriously lackingBeing multifaceted is important and O'Boyle's experience in sports science, medicine, scouting/recruitment etc makes him a potentially very good hire to help oversee the multiple departments on the football side of the club.
It does seem that the club are appointing people to fit a specific vision. Everyone seems heavily linked to fitness, sports science and development. All dovetail nicely with EtH and his ethos and coaching style.Being multifaceted is important and O'Boyle's experience in sports science, medicine, scouting/recruitment etc makes him a potentially very good hire to help oversee the multiple departments on the football side of the club.
yeah. whilst he was reading his medical books, woodward was off smashing birds.He sounds like a right nerd.
No because we’re not in the structure. All roles differ from club to club so it’s pointless guessingCan someone succinctly explain what this guy, Murtough and Fletcher will do.
Never been big on understanding of these roles so not a dig at club, I honestly don't know what each does and interested to understand. Ta

John Murtough is employing people he knows. It's easy to see from a eyeball test.He's coming from the same role that Murtough once held at the PL right?
Could we have done better/got someone with more diverse experiences?
Its a closely guarded secret!... will have to wait for the new 'deep throat' ....Lingard Mk II to find out!No because we’re not in the structure. All roles differ from club to club so it’s pointless guessing
I hear ya. Murtogh does seem to have a lot of power now. His first real big decision was a disaster i.e. bring in a coach for six months who will not be able to implement his renowned philosophy due to:As rumoured and expected for awhile. We're fully Murtough FC now. Lets keep our fingers crossed that it all works out.
I think he's hired to do the role that Murtough was doing for most of the last 8 years, while Murtough himself is shifting focus with his role. Seems like he was doing both things for the last year or so.He's coming from the same role that Murtough once held at the PL right?

Very promising indeed. It looks like we are restructuring significantly these last couple of months. It will take time for the changes though, so we'll know whether the new setup is good in the coming seasons.Tweet

He was also just far too loud and was going to become a distraction.Makes partial sense why Ralf was let go too, too many cooks and all that.
Hoping all his hair falls off come August. We will be CL and Prem winners next season then.Looks like he’s already transitioning to a bald man
He really is the DOF-in-waiting with that background.He's coming from the same role that Murtough once held at the PL right?

Yes, this is the critical thing with regards to RR in my view. I don't think they felt they could trust him to keep his mouth shut, particularly with him stepping into a national team role where he would be regularly answering questions very publicly.He was also just far too loud and was going to become a distraction.
If you look at the personalities of the group at the club now, they all seem more subdued and more likely to keep their heads down and just get on with stuff.
Was just after some generic idea of what these roles do but thanks for reply.No because we’re not in the structure. All roles differ from club to club so it’s pointless guessing
Good point - he'd be shooting his mouth off every international break. We certainly seem to be doing the right things and getting more football people in. Hopefully it bears fruit over the next few seasons.Yes, this is the critical thing with regards to RR in my view.

Shooting off his mouth really is about self-promotion like his video years ago teaching the general public about the tactics and his genius.Good point - he'd be shooting his mouth off every international break.

I agree but I can't blame people for being worried considering the illogical nature of our decision make in the last decade.At least we now know that the ditching of Rangnick as a consultant wasn't just because of the ETH discussion. The process must have started at least a month ago considering that they must have interviewed a bunch of people besides Boyle. (Based on Rangnick's background his remit would have been like an assistant DOF.)
The thing is about the ralf appointment i can't help but think they wanted to bring in a 'modern pressing coach' on a full time basis once it became clear that Ole was going to fail.I hear ya. Murtogh does seem to have a lot of power now. His first real big decision was a disaster i.e. bring in a coach for six months who will not be able to implement his renowned philosophy due to:
1. Not having the players
2. Not having the coaches
3. Not having the time, even with the right players and the right coaches it takes six months to get a pressing style going.
At least this appointment however seems to be a sensible one as far as I can tell and may even reduce some of the key person dependency that has started to build with Murtogh.
