4evaowl Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 I think in a few lines it’s hard to put into words what a club identity is. Few clubs have one (mainly because managers turnover so often now) but I remember watching a report/mini documentary on Sean Dyche and Burnley, and that club clearly has an identity that permeates in all aspects of what they do. I think it was on Sky Sports not that long ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair Maybe we could all gather round it for a bit and try that? All gathering round the identity That should work? That's IF we have time for identity right now Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes it clear that it takes a long, long time to embed, and that an identity, beliefs, philosophy (or whatever best describes it) has to fit with the area and fan base - in his case Burnley, a very working class, industrial town.

Well to be honest I'd listen to Sean Dyche If that's what he told me I'd believe him 100% and take it onboard Am deffo gonna watch that again - it was fantastic last time Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching Norwich right now, their football is streets ahead of what we do, but then they have a very modern coach. The attritional stuff we play has nothing to do with how football should be played Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 IMO an identity is what you expect in terms of style of play from your team/club. We have had several identities during my time being a Wednesday Fan. Strong and Effective under Big Jack and Wilko and an Entertaining Style under Big Ron and Francis. Since then we’ve had no real identity under a succession of managers for 25 Years. If Pulis gets his feet well and truly under the table here I would expect a return to the days of Big Jack and Wilko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s grimness personified, and as I said, a friggin embarrassment that we are doing things that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
