They're professionals, do your job. If I turn up to a meeting not knowing the status of my deliverables I'll be in hot water. If my responses to the programme manager is so what, then I'll be removed from the contract. Take your job seriously or don't expect to be at the top of it.Apparently, the "final straw" was turning up at a squad meeting not knowing certain "personal stats". Jesus, what is this? There's no room for anyone departing from the Kane-style orthodoxy of knowing your precise goals per minute ratio?
His job is to play football, which he's proven good at. As long has he follows his instructions on the pitch - he plays for a demanding manager in Arteta, so chances are he does - then why should he be obliged to memorise statistics? His real crime appears to be not being obsessed with football. As a result he's probably not boring company, unlike those who always tend know the "status of their deliverables"They're professionals, do your job.

ah the old switcheroo attack on the person who posted an alternative view to you, guess I've won this debate by default then.His real crime appears to be not being obsessed with football.

I wasn't attacking you, although your phrase did strike me as somewhat pompous. I was making comment on people like Kane and millions of others who appear obsessed with the game to the point of monomania. I like football, but I'd fancy an evening with Ben White would be more entertaining than one that saw 'Arry describing in detail his top five goals in reverse order.culture is important, you buy into the culture, or you are not part of the culture.

Player identification looks at a 4 corner model, you can be a grade B+ technical/tactical and a B- Physical, but if you are a D in psychological and an E in social you won't go far. This isn't FIFA2023 with AI players, it's real people. Relationships matter, professionalism matters, teams aren't better than the sum of their parts by accident.

I assume they're stats about playing football though? The runs players he might have to pick up at set pieces make? Which foot an opposition sub favours etc? If he's expected to go over a dossier of opposition info and know it, and he's chinned it off he should at the least take a boIIocking, or at worst he shouldn't be there. The game is long beyond just being able to play football.His job is to play football, which he's proven good at.

what phrase was 'pompous'? That seems to be the standard nonsense chucked around here when people can't debate like an adult. It's playing the man not the ball.I wasn't attacking you, although your phrase did strike me as somewhat pompous.
absolutely agree. I mean I have no view on if this is what has happened, or if it's something else that he has left for. But if as being fairly widely reported, he has left because of this, then it's absolutely the right thing. Because if you accept hi not doing it, then a load of others will not bother, then you get a us and them issue with the ones who see value in it and the ones that don't, that is the road to a toxic camp.I assume they're stats about playing football though?

If he's not been happy, had an argument and flounced off home, I assume after the way Maddison has been treated that will be him done with England till Gareth and his team move on.
I'm trying to work out if this reply is pompous or Dunning - Kruger Syndromewhat phrase was 'pompous'? That seems to be the standard nonsense chucked around here when people can't debate like an adult. It's playing the man not the ball.
If I have expertise in the building of organisational culture then to share that isn't pompous, it's to simply sharing experiences. If you find it pompous, then the real issue is the arrogance on your behalf in thinking you have equal knowledge and experience to others. I believe it's called Dunning-Kruger Syndrome when you think everything you know is all that is worth knowing, and leads to dismissal of other peoples knowledge as being not important.
The fact that you define 'culture' as something that is 'stifling' says everything. The funny thing is you really don't have to look very fhard r to see the England players talking about absolutely loving the culture of the England camp these days and the long term players see just how different it was to pre-southgate....but of course from the outside, and with zero experience of building strong winning cultures, you know better, right!
