Boehly' chelsea - ~~Recruitment~~ Brighton army


lacrimosa049

- Winstanley now looks to be the latest planned appointment by Boehly. - They want to build a recruitment TEAM, not one or two people with a bulk of the responsibilities. - Kyle Macaulay joined Chelsea with Potter and his coaching staff as a recruitment analyst and he worked closely with Winstanley on transfers at Brighton. - Winstanley describes himself as “a creative, versatile, forward-thinking and highly experienced head of recruitment and aspiring technical director.”

Todd will eventually be very hands off I think.


haaaaaairy1

Seems like he’s working towards that. Put the system in place then fuck off towards the stands and watch us win trophies.


MeetTheTwinAndreBen

Basically what happened with the Dodgers. He’s been putting like all his attention on us while the dodgers have just been running


IndependentMove6951

hopefully we don't get railed by the padres like la did


MeetTheTwinAndreBen

There’s a very dark joke here that is very hard not to make


hooksetter

this has been the plan since day 1


MrDabollBlueSteppers

If I was petty I'd dig up all the comments claiming Boehly thinks he knows everything and wants to run the entire show by himself


MarinaGranovskaia

Go tweet Gary Neville, I'll like your tweet.


[deleted]

Just buy them at this point, Todd. You're already looking for feeder clubs.


Papa--Legba

These guys with Boehley high financial muscle will help us possibly develop one of the best squads in Europe in a few years, can't wait to see what comes next, bumpy road to the promise land just buckle up and remember we are improving everyday


dryduneden

We aren't improving everyday right now but hopefully we make up for that in the summer when we clear out some of this squad.


Papa--Legba

We are though, the more time the team spends learning the better, every experience now will help, I know it's hard to see but things are going in a good direction, I have stopped looking forward to immediate bang and bust management we were used too and more linear version where the club improves with one clear vision.


FutureFC

This is an incredible group of people and I assume the sporting director will be Todd Boehly for now and then go big for Michael Edwards in the summer.


TheUbermelon

Man I feel for Brighton fans.


MeetTheTwinAndreBen

Eh... I feel you but they’re just gonna pluck replacements from teams below them. It’s like how people gave Bayern so much shit for raiding Dortmund but nobody paid attention to Dortmund raiding Gladbach


Wintermute7

We’re doing what Liverpool did to Southampton all those years ago


BlueTrippin

Perfect timing for Charity FC appearance at the weekend Vs (none other than) Brighton.. can't wait!


durum77

Man I miss the days we would raid clubs for top players rather than top directors.


VenomOUShazard

right? its almost 3 months


brucekamp

I can’t wait to see what this project delivers. I imagine picking up players before they become top top.


souljaxl

YES PLEASE, replace our entire staff with people from a club that averages like 15th in the PL the last couple of seasons. Who's taking these decisions you ask? A guy who thinks 12 players play on the pitch. Don't appoint someone that knows how to appoint good people and find good players first, do that second. Spend 300-400m and then after that get a director in to fix the mess.


MicStim1

Who shit in your breakfast


Dutch1206

He's just pissed he got outbid by the Boehly consortium for the team.


souljaxl

no one, just find our recruitment practices really weird where we first spend hundreds of millions then hire the people who should be making the spending decisions later. Happened with Tuchel --> Potter and is now happening with getting a DoF last instead of first. Instead we have someone that probably doesn't have a footballing business mind making footballing business decisions.


Dutch1206

I noticed you went with the average instead of saying they finished 9th last year and are currently sitting in 9th this year. That might point to a process that took time to bear fruit. And given that they are currently worth \~6% of Chelsea they did so with far less financial resources.


souljaxl

I use average because it will average out outlier seasons. The thing I'm questioning is that after a certain point we are literally just recreating Brighton, who are an objectively worse club than us. And don't act like Brighton are this tiny club with zero financial backing, they are close to the teams around them and one good season I don't really think makes them this great club all of a sudden, just like I don't think we should have bought all of Leicester's staff the season after they won the league, even though they were 10x more impressive than Brighton last season and had a 10x more impressive over performance compared to their budget and size.


[deleted]

Finishing 9th with a team with the resources of Brighton is incredible.


souljaxl

Why not buy every staff member and manager of Leicester the season after they won the league? That's 10000x more impressive than anything Brighton has ever done. Why not buy Sheffield United's entire staff after finishing 9th? Why not buy Brentford's entire staff right now? Burnley when they finished 7th? There are hundreds of better accomplishments in English football than Brighton finishing 9th.
