RichSheffWeds Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 This is how to run a run/develop a football club. All about analytics and scientific thinking. Interesting that he tested the theories on a Danish club first and only used the successful elements. Our Chairman should have a look at how it’s done. People like Benham and Bloom are very smart, both succeeded after falling out with each other. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manwë Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I didn't see on that twitter feed what year the Brentford bloke put golden elephants outside the main entrance. If he had done it sooner, it wouldn't have been a 10 year wait. What a mug! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieman Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Hats off to the guy. Brentford are definitely the benchmark and have been for a few years now. Gradual progression. One thing to note is the guy has never employed a ‘manager’ like Bruce and given him sole responsibility. He has done the opposite. I wonder if this approach will be more accepted in this country now? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owl Be Back Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Not sustainable though is it; at least by some accounts on here. I'd take that kind of unsustainable plan over what we're being subjected to. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just spoke to DC he says you lost him on the word “thinking” He also said what’s scientific “is that like Star Wars or summat?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ashley8 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Is there a "running a football club for NUMBTYS " He could buy.... or is it he f@#ked up and bought "NUMPYS Running a football club" although that would be autobiographical for him !

Kew Owl Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 If you don’t know anything about football - which DC has openly admitted in the past - and even less about running a business, the secret is to take a back seat and surround yourself with people who do have these skill sets. Its not rocket science FFS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Owl Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I remember threads like this in the past, maybe three years ago. Lots of discussion around vision and strategy. I also remember being advised that the club would be working on such things behind the scenes and that I shouldn't be so naive as to think a large business like SWFC wasn't already planning ahead etc. Mmmmmmm...... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beauchief Owl Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 How to become a successful club, do the opposite of what DC has done in virtually every aspect of running our club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its not rocket science FFS He actually did this when he arrived, which went well. After about a year DC clearly thought he had the knowledge to run the club and things have been on a downhill trajectory ever since. To put it simply he was smarter six years ago than he is now.

0742 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 At the time i thought getting rid of warburton was a huge mistake for Brentford, but he apparently didn't buy in to the system fully, so was moved on. He's now at QPR and Brentford will be playing Premier League Football next season. Their owner seems a very interesting guy, could teach the muppet owner we have a few things about business.

Guest LondonOwl313 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 So it took him 9 years to get promoted.. I’m not sure many of ours fans would have the patience for that. Would be quite disappointed if we’re still not back after 9 years, although I fully expect to be disappointed. Would also say that lots of clubs get promoted over 9 seasons.. most of them don’t do anything similar to this. So is this really the best/most efficient way of operating if your exclusive goal is promotion to the PL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So is this really the best/most efficient way of operating if your exclusive goal is promotion to the PL That's a really good question. I guess you have to look at relative starting positions e.g. would Brentford got there anyway in that time? You also have to consider what long term effects the model has. That in itself would be part of the science / analytics: does it work everywhere, is it the most efficient approach etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if DC has a time machine and went back to the end of his first season did not sack Gray and instead, let him grow the club, building with his ethos of work rate. I bet the club would be fighting at the top of the league, not losing £20m a season, not homeless, and not having £10's of million spent on players leaving on free transfer. How one mistake would alter the whole football club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
