Positive appointment. Pretty forward thinking from the club in my eyes as well.

Working with the head coach, so the club must have someone in mind...?

I like the money ball approach, but I think it does hinge on a coaching team that can refine the rough diamonds i.e. McKirdy this season.

Just remember when talking about ex always injured youth teamer Kurt Hammonds and what he went onto after football - his LinkedIn stated he had whilst at STFC been a League One footballer.

Which was a slight exaggeration.

As has just been said. Intrigued to hear from the man himself about what he does and what he did fpt Wigan in 6 months

Spent the day with Kurt last week funnily enough, poor lad can barely walk now without any pain. Done ACL in both knees. Still trying to play a bit of football but only manages a half before the pain takes over.

Said this before so apologies in advance for the repetition.

Never met or spoken to Kurt but due to my job(s) and/or shift patterns I watched a fair few youth games between about 05-09.

Kurt always seemed injured but every time I saw him hobbling about I swear his upper body was bigger. Like because of his various injuries (knees and legs I guess) he just spent all the time he couldn’t train doing upper body work on the gym.

Was convinced he was gonna be a body builder and/or a popular ‘skip leg day’ meme.

CV on LinkedIn, was only at Wigan for 6 months, seems to have worked for gambling companies prior to that

I'd say he has more experience than just Wigan, he has listed his most recent company which provides recruitment advice to football clubs for 3 and half years and if you look at his About section on LinkedIn he says alongside leading EFL clubs he also talks about working with Scottish prem clubs as well, the about section is enclosed below:                                      
                                                                                                                                                      
I am an accomplished, ambitious and entrepreneurial football recruitment specialist, who has accumulated a portfolio of achievements in this field through my previous role as Head Recruitment Analyst at Wigan Athletic FC and my own company Santoni Sports.

I Possess a wealth of experience in managing recruitment projects for leading EFL and Scottish Premiership clubs. I utilise expertise within data analysis and team performance metrics to enhance the talent identification process.

I possess a proven track record in unearthing cost-effective playing talent, who have progressed to add value to team performance and can generate significant transfer revenue in future sales, highly accomplished in scouting and analysis.

I got the impression from his CV that he goes into a club sets up ‘the system’ then moves on.

His betting background would indicate he knows how create/use a system to analyse numbers but not sure how much applied football knowledge he has (if that makes sense) like he can give us system that can identify players but he can’t vouch as to how good they actually are (again if that makes sense)

Glad the jigsaw is being pieced together. Whether it’s betting or his previous role at Santoni (assuming that now ends as it would provide a conflict of interest, you would think?) he is clearly driven by data, which I’m a big fan of… it’s the norm now. No more old fashioned “I saw the striker for 5 minutes and decided I’d have him” (Andy King’s approach to signing Eric Sabin!).

And by a coincidental twist of fate, Santoni Sports (now dissolved, it seems, as of 2020) had a registered office on “Old Chorley Road” in Bolton. Very apt.

We have a mutual friend, and even when I met him at 14/15 years old he was always twice the size of us. But as you said, always injured and therefore his upper body just got bigger and bigger and his legs didn’t!

First thoughts are it is a strange appointment for a football club but perhaps marrying the necessities of running the background aspects makes sense with just one person in charge and is the way to go. As usual, only time will tell on our continuous roller coaster ride.

Working with the head coach, so the club must have someone in mind...?

I'm reasonably confident the club have already done the work behind the scenes to get the new manager/coaching staff employed.

Pure speculation on my part, but I would think that Morfuni/Angus are probably not impressed with Charlton over how long it's taken to sort the Garner issue out. Less patient owners might have already  put out statements on their websites and it's to their credit that they are working professionally with Charlton (who are beginning to take the piss I reckon)

This might also point towards the reason Chorley left, perhaps he left before he was pushed.  Clem/Angus have mentioned the Brentford model before and are obvious admirers, so perhaps this is the way they intended to go all along, but Chorley jumped their gun as far as timing..

The moneyball strategy sounds good to me, but a note of caution,  if it was easy and risk free to  successfully implement then everyone would be doing it.

I also get the feeling we could have a new manager (head coach) announcement soon after CA announce BG

I'm leaning more and more towards the fact the 2 ben's were employed to see us tick over. They exceeded expectations but ultimately Clem wasn't particularly arsed they've gone. If anything it might've accelerated the plan he actually wanted to implement.

I could be completely wrong though. Just an interesting take.
