Welcome back folks, and sorry for the delay in updating you. \u00a0You join me at the end of my first season as Foggia manager and if you need reminding why I am here, read this<\/a>.<\/p>\n I’m not going to bore you with the details of the first season, we don’t have time for that. \u00a0All you need to know is below:<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a> <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n No real surprises – we were predicted 2nd and I usually overachieve at a lower level. \u00a0But, as I said, we are not here today to talk about the fact that Foggia have been promoted to Serie B at the first attempt (playing a style of football that Zeman would have been proud of).<\/p>\n No, today I am introducing you to a slightly updated version of my “Searching the Stats” methodology which we shall now call StS v3.0 (c)<\/p>\n I am going to break the methodology down into a few short, sharp posts over the next few days and below are the steps that we are going to follow. \u00a0If you want to, of course.<\/p>\n Of course, that might all change if I realise I have missed something. \u00a0I did just scribble that down in two minutes after the final league game of the season.<\/p>\n Some context for you to ponder before we kick all this off tomorrow.<\/p>\n Foggia have been promoted with a squad that includes 11 players on loan, 4 players that have contracts up at the end of this season and at least 3 that my gut feeling says I want to move on. \u00a012 of the Academy squad have contracts up in a few weeks and they are likely to be released without analysis. \u00a0Foggia have been losing in and around \u00a3200k per month for the season, mainly due to the completely inept contracts offered to many players before I took over – I calculated we were at least \u00a320k per week over our “real wage budget”. \u00a0The wiser among you will notice that I will need at least 11 new recruits next season, or possibly get some familiar faces back on a second season loan.<\/p>\n When we come back tomorrow I will look at point 1 on the above list – analysing the current squad using my StS v3.0 (c) methodology.<\/p>\n #ForzaFoggia<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Welcome back folks, and sorry for the delay in updating you. \u00a0You join me at the end of my first season as Foggia manager and if you need reminding why I am here, read this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3894,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[89],"tags":[57,41,65,18,42,53,49,50,26,67,68],"yoast_head":"\n\n
