Thanks for watching Geoff. Glad you enjoyed 👍🏼

Thanks John 👍🏼

Fair point for sure, we all know how that panned out! I obviously didn't ask, nor do I know Beale personally but I do know he is well thought of in the coaching world and has positive record working with, and developing young players (going from anecdotes from people that have worked with him). RLB been a pleasant surprise so far. Big end to the season incoming!

Thanks! I'd say Tom Worville, Sam Gregory, Sam Radford, Rob Suddaby!

Hard to say which degree would be 'best' as it depends on what type of analyst you would like to be, your location and degrees do change with more being added. I do have a video on this topic though: th-cam.com/video/h1aPgvvDXLo/w-d-xo.html A degree is never going to be enough on it's own though. You need to also gain experience and create a portfolio of work to showcase your skills in what is a very competitive field. Good luck!

Check out McKay Johns videos on TH-cam if you haven't already. Get some free data and start a bit of a portfolio of football related work. start to share this work to help build a football related network which should help to get you more experience

Thanks 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment! Clubs typically wouldn't offer commission style roles. You could potentially earn money freelancing (either with clubs or in the media/journalism space) but even those are not too common from what I have seen. Both would require a lot of groundwork to have a strong and attractive portfolio of work to get the initial opportunity. It's tough for sure. The path you have described with building portfolio and gaining experience is (unfortunately) an unpaid labour of love. At least from my experience...

Thanks for the comment Adam. Yeah, that's a tough one, but if awareness and runs etc. are of good quality, these things will be seen by good scouts. And I would imagine that certain (better) open days, would look to assess the players outside of just game situations, so your son can excel there. I'm definitely no expert in talent ID at that age though, but if your son is doing the right things, it will get noticed. More of an issue of keeping moral high if he does dislike not being passed to etc (I remember this feeling!).

@ He often comes off and the first thing he says is “why does no one pass to me” I always try and motivate him and make him understand that this will happen and to just keep working hard. Was a great podcast! Thank you for responding. 🙏🏻

@@ladanddadunited Thanks mate. All the best to you and your son 🙌🏼

I appreciate that Ross, thanks! 👍🏼

His job title on LinkedIn is 'Head of player development' but what you have suggested fits. They are in the process of brining in two more analysts too, to help with pre-post match analysis. Plus they will have data personnel too!

​@chrisgill_UK The team made an announcement on their site with a couple coaches they've brought in but I guess with the scouting department and analyst side its harder to stay on top of the news for recruitment. Thanks for the video by the way.

@@whrobert9940 No problem .Yes I seen that announcement too. Scouting and analysis staff tend to stay in the shadows so less prone to announcements like that! (I do know they have Grant Rhines as Head of Data...

Thanks! 👍🏼

Thanks for watching Ross, and best of luck in your scouting journey 👍🏼

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it 👍🏼

Yes, definitely. I like how the zones are fluid, changing in line with the shape of the opposition. Really interesting 👍🏼

Great to hear, thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, and good luck in your journey. Lot's of other videos available that may help further, including this one on what to look for when analysing games: th-cam.com/video/KuRBnULoygQ/w-d-xo.html

@@chrisgill_UKthank you!!

Thanks 🙏🏼

Thanks Abhishek, indeed, Andy was great! Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks for watching, glad it was helpful 👍🏼

Nice, Rudy was great in the air, some quality headers. I'm a Sunderland fan and have had some great visits to Ewood. Might try to attend on Boxing Day actually 👍🏼

Thanks!

👍🏼

👍🏼

He certainly did. Big, tall striker. Cardiff, Blackburn, Villa and Middlesbrough 👍🏼

Great insight … Yuki was a great capture…

Hi Mark, thanks for the comment. I can't really speak on that specific deal (as I wasn't involved) but there are lots of things to consider. Checking injury history would definitely be part of the process but it will often come down to weighing the pros and cons of each incoming player. If that was the case (Kellys history), he may well have been cheaper and seen as a risk worth taking based on the potential upside. It is quite common for a player to sign with more weight on what they did at a previous club (before their last) as their last move could have not worked out for a number of reasons (the style of play at that club, off field factors, personal relationships etc.) ... The thing is though, transfers are hard. The clubs that do the best business tend to be the ones that do the best. As a Sunderland fan, we've had our fair share of rubbish, but also ones that seem pointless on the surface, but come good later, whether that be for us, or as a sell-on. Thanks again for watching the video and all the best for the rest of the season 👍🏼

@@chrisgill_UK Thank you for replying

Nice! Good luck 👍🏼

Thanks for the comment Karl. I agree, Sean is great. Very knowledgable but also such a great guy 👍🏼

Yes, go Genk!

The thing is, signing them permanently is not always an option. Not sure on the Maatsen specifics, but as a Sunderland fan, we've had many great loaning signings that simply would never have become permanent...

Interesting that you say that... what part of the UK are you from?

@@chrisgill_UK From Sussex, there's very little down here apart from Brighton which as a result is notoriously impossible to break into. I've seen or been a part of the process with Brighton, Charlton, Chelsea and Palace and their youth Academy girls teams are all made up of exactly the same type of player. I was told by someone in the know at Chelsea that the example i gave is the only type of player they're interested in.

My pleasure Liam, thanks 👍🏼

Works fine for me. Have you tried clearing your cache or trying on a different browser?

@@chrisgill_UK it works for me now! I emailed support and seems their website was down for a bit. Thanks anyway!

I'm no cricket expert, but let me do some research!

Part of the tenancy agreement it seems. Explained here: www.theguardian.com/football/2011/oct/04/manchester-city-council-stadium-naming-rights

Email on my channel or DM on Twitter (chrisgill_UK) 👍🏼

I would think so! And a very tidy profit too...

All clubs have analysts as a key part of the coaching team, and the value they offer on a cost basis can be extremely high (especially as they are usually underpaid). Thanks for checking out the video and I appreciate your opinion, but I must stick up for the analysts here!

Thank you 👍🏼

Thanks for the suggestion

an apt name, seeing as ai is used by so many dummy's haha

No problem, thanks Thomas 👌🏼

Thanks for watching. I will keep trying to share interesting things from the industry 👍🏼

Indeed...

Thanks for watching 👍🏼

Thanks Alex 👍🏼
