I nearly made that one Di Rain Wales

These guys likely all have access to performance data, how good they are at accessing it (never mind understanding it) on their own is another matter. Other than UK based managers being able to sit in the stand and watch what players are doing that aren't in the camera shot, all our games are available on t'interweb somewhere, so no excuse for knowing nowt about our squad Snoots.

Mind you, Warnock blew the myth of performance data out of the window when he said if I can't see it with my own eyes when I watch them train and play, I'm doing something wrong - or something similar. He still knows how far players have run in matches though, so he doesn't completely ignore it.

Whoever this new guy is, he'll need a work permit if he's from ouside the UK. A Brexit benefit if from the EU, always applied from elsewhere, unless he's a Brit that has been working abroad. Even if he's had one before he'll need to renew it as he is changing employers. Probably explains the delay from telling Warnock after the West Brom game to holding back to this week. Changing jobs/job titles within employers once you are employed is less of (or not even) an issue. I got those t-shirts when I was in Canada.
