McNasty Filth Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 After reading an article the other day about how in-depth scouting/researching/analysing players has now become, it got me thinking, are City doing this with potential new managers for when the time comes that either Lee is poached/sacked/resigns. In particular, if the club are doing this, are they employing someone (In-House or Consultant) on a full time basis to go as in-depth as possible, looking at all leagues across the UK, Europe, South America and beyond? Obviously the club would ideally have a playing identity set in stone akin to a side like Brentford, so as to make sense of relating in-depth analysis to a goal. Personally I think the club should be doing this 100%, in terms of due diligence and preparation. Do people think the manager should be aware of this, or not? Hearing how Ashton is always claiming to be ahead of the curve and progressive, cant imagine why he wouldn't be. Interested to hear how people think this would affect the inner dynamic of the club?

I would imagine that in the world of professional football coaches are pretty well known and any with the correct DNA ( can’t believe I just typed that ! ) would be kept an eye on by the club .

I wouldn't think the club are doing this. They should be, but I would be astonished if the cosy status quo is reviewed in such a manner. We say we are constantly looking to improve on the playing side, so why we don't do likewise with coaches and administrators I have no idea. SL is clearly happy with LJ's team and MA.

Will Rollason Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 100% they are doing this. It will be part of MA' s job I would have thought? Just as we are looking to upgrade on the pitch we will be looking off it as well, no disrespect to LJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted March 15, 2019 Report Share Posted March 15, 2019 Up and coming Managers like Cowley at Lincoln will be on our radar. You can bet us and plenty of other Championship clubs will know how he manages, his football philosophy etc. It’s not about disrespecting the current Manager, it’s basic due diligence in an industry where your Manager could bugger off next week or be given the chop in the same period.

Thing is though, don't think City really have a DNA apart from bringing young players through from the academy. So how are we gonna know what manager is best suited to our needs except for what Ive just mentioned. If you look at Brentford, they have a set way of playing football which passes from one manager to the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could be outsourcing to some extent. As we know they have people studying games, whether they are ours or other teams we are playing, or have an interest or watching players at other clubs. One thing the club is good at is keeping things quiet when they are interested in something/someone. Few know until its been announced on most occasions.
