Yes, I saw that. Really poor IMO; in theory, there's nothing wrong with the right sort of internship, ie short hours, learning on the job etc but for someone to work FT as an intern is barmy, especially when they asked (from memory) for someone that had experience. No one "with experience" is going to work for nowt five days a week + matchdays. Not even I'm that stupid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A little like scouting, you'd imagine every man and his dog fancies themselves as a scout but can they really do it at a professional club when stuff gets real? Asking for too much on your CV will put a lot of people off.

Good on you mate. Way too clever that stuff for me. Good luck with it too. I think you make a pertinent point - Data Science versus Football Analyst. They are poles apart in skillset, activities and expectations...and therefore salary should align accordingly. Yet, they seem to want Data Scientists for Football Analyst roles. What City appear to need is people with a good football understanding who can film a match / training session and then pick out the key bits. Recruitment analyst is different again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 (edited) I honestly don’t know why anyone would work in one of those roles in football. Or indeed any ops/media role in football, full time. The pay is absolutely horrendous, the hours are very unsociable, and you’re near enough working every day of the week. If you whittled down the terrible pay into hours actually worked, I wouldn’t bet against it being below living wage.

Are we all blocked or unblocked right now or is @Davefevs singularly blocked? Sorry confused! I have twitted about a dozen times in my life so not down wiv da kids so much except when they want money or Christmas presents of course!

Red Billy Posted May 9 Report Share Posted May 9 1 hour ago, Davefevs said: Exactly the point I made above. They ask a helluva lot for what circa 90% of the role will be filming, coding, saving to a database (admin tasks) and presenting to seniors. Liam Manning does that whilst sat on an exercise bike!!!

All wages go on coaches and players. The sport as a whole relies on the perceived glamour of the game...and once you see behind the curtain even that is an absolute sham as you say (the hours etc). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed I saw one of their finance roles being advertised a while ago and for what they were after they were offering 25-30% below the market rate. Seems strange given the low number of roles required and the cash flying around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I known Man Utd’s head scout for the south west and south wales ‘ he’s on minimum wage plus expenses’ sounds glamorous but the hrs are shit and most of the lads he’s recommended utd haven’t even bothered to have a look at . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
