I read someone say about Maric that one of the things that makes him stand out is that he can make complex ideas sound simple. Maric himself said that if you can’t explain complex ideas in simple terms then it’s because you don’t really understand them yourselves.
I hope you are right Smug and that these young coaches are not making these instructions to young players too complex and are given time to implement them. I just remember Johnson with his buzz words. It all very exciting and looking forward to the end of the season to see who we get in as manager coaches and players all. Next season is huge for us but then they always are.
I've got way ahead of myself as I don't think this is even a particularly reliable rumour but I've been down a Maric related rabbit hole and everything I see, hear and read from him and about him is class. Not even from him being a good head coach here perspective, just that he comes across as a really articulate, intelligent, good, kind, sensible and all-round sound bloke.
I’ve a feeling we need to be checking the directors box on Saturday for any new faces… absolutely nothing to back this up mind
Need Boots on the ground at the AOL on Friday. Bob reckons the board are all up on Friday I could cover the Shag on Friday night, anyone in Goa, Bellinis and Romanos?
I've read maybe 10 of the pieces he's wrote on his blog, seems to have an unbelievable football brain and I'm already excited. Hopefully there is substance to the rumour and he is announced soon.
By his own admission, those blogs are a bit of an information dump. Just getting ideas on a page, he acknowledges they're not written or presented particularly well and that some of his theories were naïve but that he's constantly learning and evolving. He was incredibly prolific with them, churning out loads. He does have a good football brain but he also seemingly values the human element, management and interaction above all else - often a shortcoming in particularly technically elite people. I'm not his agent by the way!
If you think I’m going to be drawn in by comments like this you are absolutely right ! I’d love to have a coach who is proper obsessed about football, tactics and Sunderland !
You might have your wish! https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...wA6Owuj8BpKC56zxv064grrrhCI1Mi4YNuxARg1O-P_hL
Some unbelievable analysis. Even if I don't fully understand a lot of it. https://spielverlagerung.de/author/rm/
When was the last time we had genuine excitement for a managerial appointment? For me it (laughably) David Moyes - always admired his work and felt like he was the man to take us to the next level.....which I suppose he did...just a shame the next level was the one below
Looks like Maric..NE reporting it could be announced as early as next week..fingers crossed it works out all around. FTM
