I expect Josh Marsh is absolutely living the dream. Six figure salary to play Football Manager on his laptop for 12 hours a day and write down all the players who play well against him. I genuinely don't think this is far from the truth of the situation. I really hope that figure is a guess and is wildly inaccurate.

Surely it can't be anywhere near 12 hours a day.

If our chairman Is relying on data analytics and young Josh , is he not aware of the rubbish that Josh has so far produced? He worryingly seems to think he's a good lad, he might but , but he's useless!! Get rid and stop using computers to buy crap.

Everyone knows you play Football Manager in 18-hour sessions at a time. Or is that just me? If Josh Marsh is on a 6-figure salary I'd be amazed. There's a lot to complain about, but I doubt the salary of support staff is one of them, not in that sense at least. I'm surprised he's been kept to now. We've made a pig's ear of each transfer window where he has been in charge, and we've found ourselves with a woefully inadequate squad at times. Our scouting network clearly isn't up to scratch. That being said, he is still only one of the cogs in a collective machine. Having multiple directors of football operations come and go in a never-ending revolving door of appointments and dismissals can't help when it comes to forming and implementing a coherent strategy. If we were to keep a DoFO for more than 5 minutes we might see a much better recruitment policy, and Marsh would be a part of that.

My main career from the 2019 version was a ridiculous 26 and a half days and only Sunday night I made the always dangerous decision to get to the end of my current season no matter what time it took until...got into bed at 6:15am (having just lost a Champions League final 3-2 to goals in the 90+3 and 90+5 minutes). The things we do eh? 😂

Our biggest failing by a country mile has been our transfer business, so if we're doing a massive clearout how the people responsible for identifying players are left completely untouched is baffling. There'd have to be some pretty major mitigating factors to extricate him from our recent distrous recruitment. Maybe Josh plays golf and plays with Phil. That seems to be a common denominator in people getting and maintaining roles they don't deserve.

Serious question, does anyone really know what the job of Head of Recruitment actually entails? As well as the obvious player identification, is he responsible for the scouting management, initial contact with agents, Prospective player introduction and facility tours etc? During lockdown the club did some features on what certain staff actually do for the club. It would be intersting and probably beneficial for Josh himself if one was done on his role.

He has to go and looking at Schofield and Worthington last night, they looked totally lost? If we are to progress we need a total reboot. I fear that with Dean and Phil they are now going down the pecuniary route that will make next season excruciating.
