Now we are sure of our status … There’s no better manager to get us up challenging and maybe winning the league. I think Falkirk have peaked too soon and will struggle to get a squad good enough for the premier. With that same thought I think if we get well into the playoffs and go again the next season that’s more sustainable financially.
If our owners have real money then we may get a shock squad and go up but I stand by a two year plan.

It will be an interesting discussion between him and the owners. I thought a big part of the new owners buying the club was to showcase their analytics model? Are they going to hand over the decision making to Lennon which isn`t a great advert for their product? There is going to need to be a compromise from one or both of the parties for the relationship to go any further imo.

I imagine that it will be a collaborative approach. You can have all your eggs in one basket with either a manager, a coach, a scout or AI.

Surely the January transfer window will have alerted the owners to the risk of putting too much reliance on data analysis? I`d be surprised if NL hadn`t made that point to them already.

I concur Eck but it depends if their model was a fundamental part of the takeover. If they are prepared to neglect that approach I don`t think it would upset too many, but it doesn`t say much about their product to the external world?

If James Bord is a gambler I can`t see him persisting with a losing strategy but, on the other hand, I doubt he`ll abandon it altogether. I suspect some kind of compromise will be reached.

I think with these things there has to be a compromise between what the data says and what scouting tells you. Presumably Lennon already knows the approach our new owners want to take in terms of recruitment, but maybe given his reputation (which Tidser didn`t have) he can have more of a final say on who comes through the door?
JCM is really the only one who was brought in who had an immediate positive impact. Bray and Young look promising young talents to develop, but the rest of the signings just haven`t really worked out as intended. Given the timescales involved within January that`s understandable to me.
Hopefully they`ll have had a bit of time now to think about how to refine their approach this summer and how we build a stronger overall squad rather than players who are just making up the numbers as we`ve seen the last few years. The first major step of course was staying up, which has now been achieved.

I hope Lennon stays. I`m not saying he`s the best manager out there but he comes across as very level headed and he`s a good sell. He`s got a strong profile so he`s someone players can learn from and other managers, agents etc have respect for. Like if Neil Lennon comes your way you`re thinking of your reputation as he`s well connected so you want to impress.
