If the facts come after then how can you be claiming you've disproved my point in your previous post?

Your answers are just your views and opinions and just dont give me the facts and figures required for me to change my view .. that is OK isn't it ?

I wasn't claiming, you just asked me for facts in your previous post.

My mention of facts and figures was in regard to something that usual happens after the argument has gone down the rabbit hole. We're teetering precariously close to that rabbit hole now...

So you didn't have the facts and figures and instead of just saying ok gg here's why I disagree you went on a weird rant about me in general.

OK mate

Question @Charlie Dogscock

Would a change of manager make preparations 'slightly' more difficult for an opposition manager?

There are all sort of factors you need to bear into that consideration:

- how were the team doing before?
- were they playing a particular style/tactic that was working or not working?
- was the outgoing manager popular or unpopular with the fans?
- does the incoming manager play in a certain way?
- does the new manager have a difficult task ahead (like here), or is he a long term appointment for the future?
- can you predict the new managers formations, tactics and gameplay?
- does the new manager fit in with how the team has played before or will he be a radical change?

Does necessarily mean the preparations will be more difficult, just different to maybe what they had in mind.

Preparation involves studying the opposition so any change there interferes with the ability to study them thus making it more difficult to prepare.

Although there won’t be much studying required with a fat sham team
I see instead immersing himself with different football philosophy, he was just eating kebabs

You can obviously never call things 100%, and a huge amount of preparation will be the managers own ideas.

But I think this helps us more than Leeds - ie Leeds got promoted with Bielsa and did well in the Prem playing exciting attacking football. This went tits up after a while, with Bielsa arrogantly refusing to change anyway even though they were getting beaten every week. Jesse Marsh comes in, and manages to keep them up by making them tougher and less wide open, but maintaining the attacking style Bielsa had.

Now they have Allardyce, who is a dirty hump ball manager, a complete change to what they have played for years, and not the style of manager or play that the players are used to. This has the potential to be a huge square peg in a round hole for them.

So howe would be assuming ? If the other manager was still there he'd know more.

Style of play is just one variable.
