Garner’s analyst Jake Marques has gone - he’s got a promotion to Head of Analysis at Crawley.
Is this a promotion?
Not in terms of club size but job role, he's gone from First Team Analyst to Head of Analysis.
To be that says everything that is wrong with football's bloated cost structure now, that a small L2 side needs a HEAD of Analysis, implying they have several.

Maybe, but no professional club will want to be disadvantaged by not making use of data. He could have two or three analysts under him covering scouting opposition and potential signings, I wouldn't say that's bloated.

If we have two or three analysts at The Valley I hope they have all gone to Crawley with him.

Our scouting and signing of players is shite
For me poor recruitment has been our biggest issue.
We had the budget under TS to be challenging for promotion but paid out fees for the likes of DJ, Kirk, Stockley, Lavelle, Schwartz etc. Wages on free agents such as Watson, Gunter, Maddison and so on.
Millions was wasted in the RD years too.
Recruit well and we wouldn’t be constantly changing manager and could be at least a mid table Championship side.
Owners wouldn’t have to fund such big losses as there would be the occasional player to sell for big money. We’d get better deals selling in the Championship. Young players would stay for longer.
Good recruitment kept us going in the Championship under Slater and Jimenez despite the money drying up.
It’s got to be a priority for any new ownership that comes.

Don't know if working for Crawley's crypto owners is any better to be honest.

Suddenly everyone is leaving to go back to him. Hmm.
Hopefully Bonne got on really well with him.....
What’s the (apparent none) story behind this?
