Every job appraisal ultimately is about outcomes. Football is unique in the customers as well as management being appraisers. Outcomes so far are in the 3 or 4 out  of 10 range so I think people are entitled to the views expressed.

If you ask Alan Buckley if he had a head of recruitment I believe he would actually say yes. He took Ronnie Mann’s word on a lot of his buys.

I don’t think any relation to Arthur Mann but might be wrong

Quoted from 1mickylyons
Ffs plenty of people work 6 days a week and they will do a lot more hours than footballers or football Manager's.


Don’t think I would want the hours of a football manager 4/5 days at the ground shall we say 20 hours taking in a couple of midweek games most weeks with travelling that’s about another 12 hours at least 12 hours on Saturday depending on travel times that’s about 44 hours plus all the out of hours stuff while at home constant phone calls watching games so adding all this together I should imagine it’s a 60 /70 hour week and possibly only Sunday to call your own

Quoted from arryarryarry


Change is good when it works but so far whoever was responsible for some of the signings in the summer, they need to get back to university or wherever they came from.


Head of Recruitment identifies potential players based on his brief but the final decision rests with the manager who is ultimately responsible. On that basis maybe PH should go back to University but I'm sure he will find it tricky fitting it in with managing Shrewsbury full-time.

Some people are daft enough to think Joe Hutchinson identifies players, negotiates the deal & signs the player for the head coach to get a tune out of, but that supports their “anti” narrative whether that’s anti, Joe, Hurst, data, change etc. etc.. makes me smile that.

Some people might work 60 hours a week with one day off, but they’re probably not doing 4 or 5 different jobs at once. I’d sooner have two people each being specialists in their areas than having one person spread across two jobs, working their nuts off & maybe getting it wrong.
