Dean has proved himself a successful manager of part time football teams.
The primary skill required is spotting good footballers and convincing them to join your club. Having an owner prepared to recompense players over the odds for the level does simplify this somewhat. Other than deciding your formation tactical nous is not really required as you cannot drill different formations in 2 90 minutes training sessions a week particularly when you have to use most of that time for fitness work.
If we assume Dean had a significant say in recruitment under Hilton then he didn’t do too bad. 9 of them are making our unbeaten starting 11.
Managing full time professional teams to success requires a whole bunch of additional (and more difficult) skills.
Butler has spent over 20 years in the full time game most of it in leadership roles, captain, coach etc.
Dean prior to coming here had never been involved in full time professional football.
Dean isn’t a crap manager he was just the wrong manager for the job Hilton brought him in for.

The “banter” is a bit forced but they are not really aiming at my demographic which is fine.
The club is big enough for more than 1 podcast and both help in developing and engaging the fan base. Both do a great job.

Nice to see Bru posters raising their game and posts now mainly about football. Seems a couple of years at least since that was the case.
Once the stragglers let go of Hilton and Dean we’ll be sorted. The behind the scenes stuff is thankfully dull now we have adults in charge.
Shame for you SOD. Must be closer than a home game for you.
Always thought going to the gym was bad for you.

I’d rather we lost it trying to win it than draw it trying not to lose.

Reckon their keeper, centre backs and right wing back had over 50% of their possession but it was possession without intent.
A lot of their play was a bit like watching us at times last season.
