Not a fan of this, it’s all waffle & ultimately over complicates the game , particularly at this level, just like Lee Johnson with all his ridiculous sayings bomb alley etc.. This is league 1 football, 11 v 11, the players are generally limited ability wise to take in all of that nonsense. I can just see him now holding team meetings showcasing some slick PowerPoint presentations & our players thinking wtf!? However if he does get the job then fair enough hopefully he’ll prove me wrong.
I think you under estimate football players and people in general. It's only about spotting opponents weaknesses and accepting you can't predict what will happen in a match. They teach this kind of stuff to under 12s now.
I thought we all agreed this happened anyway... https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/losing-dressing-room-empty-cliché-real-life-10-steps-thalhammer/

From ChatGPT. Perhaps we could be the first club with an AI manager... ------------------------------ "Title: Navigating the Minefield: Preventing and Addressing the Loss of the Dressing Room in Football Management Losing the dressing room is a colloquialism that strikes fear in the heart of every football manager. It refers to a situation where the players lose faith in the manager's abilities, resulting in diminished morale, lack of effort on the field, and often a string of poor results. This phenomenon can catalyze a chain reaction leading to the manager's eventual departure. Tackling this issue head-on, with the right strategies and understanding, is crucial for any manager aiming to not only survive but thrive in the highly competitive world of football. Understanding the Causes Before one can address the issue, understanding the underlying causes is crucial. Loss of the dressing room can happen for numerous reasons, including but not limited to, ineffective communication, perceived favoritism, poor tactical decisions, and personal clashes between players and the management team. Clear Communication The cornerstone of any successful team is effective communication. A manager must be transparent, honest, and consistent in their dealings with players. Holding regular team meetings, as well as one-on-one discussions, ensures that players feel heard and valued. Additionally, explaining tactical decisions and selection choices can help players understand their roles and the expectations placed upon them, reducing resentment and confusion. Building Relationships Building strong, professional relationships with players is pivotal. These relationships are based on mutual respect and understanding. Acknowledging and celebrating individual achievements, understanding each player's personal circumstances, and being approachable can build a strong rapport. It’s essential to listen and show empathy where needed while maintaining professional boundaries. Adapting Management Styles Flexibility in management style is critical. What works for one set of players may not work for another. A good manager observes and understands the unique dynamics of their team and adapts their approach accordingly. Sometimes a more authoritarian approach may be necessary, while at other times, a democratic style, where players' opinions are considered, could be more effective. Ensuring Discipline Maintaining discipline is essential for command respect. However, discipline should be enforced fairly and consistently. Players should know the rules and the consequences of breaching them. Favoritism, or the perception thereof, can destroy morale."
So are you saying the more talented the football player the brighter they are? Which would mean Premiership players are brighter than EFL players, and EFL players are brighter than non-league players?
Lighten up buttercup. There is the thing called not being serious. We could name it summat like a light hearted joke. Maybe it’ll catch on or maybe we can all take 11 men kicking a ball around in a daft game as a matter of life and death.
