Job Vacancy on the OS.

Recommended Posts

Surprised no one's mentioned this yet!

Don't know why the club are advertising for a match analyst.

Let's face it, all they have to do is come on here and read what our resident experts have to say. :D

Still if they did that, then with all the contradictory comments on here, we'd probably end up playing like we did last season. :unsure:

I might get a job in the ticket office. I'd do a better job than half the mardy coonts in there. There's only a select few who actually smile when you're in there.

They advertised a vacancy there and in the club shop a few days back so you may be in luck!

i think the last analyst was fed up of giving essays to olly about how bad we were and how many places we could improve

Back of the net! :cool:

Cant find the details of it on the OS anymore so you best get your application in quick if you're interested! Try e-mailing the human resources people at the club for info on it :thumbup:

That actually sounds like a cracking opportunity for someone. And far more to do with assisting the club in highlighting deficiencies than compiling OS reports.

The work would have massive potential not just within the club but also, potentially, in assisting with the recruitment of players and a whole lot of other things that spring to mind straight away.

Not that it's anything new.

While the technical aides might be far more advanced, even way back we used to analyse all ouir players with regard to pass completion, positive/negative passes, shots on/off target, shots in a match etc, and I've occasionally mentioned that there's no way some of our signings could ever have been properly analysed because their statistics would have been appalling.

Unfortunately, being neither black nor female, I'd never see the point of applying for any job in Harriet Harman's Britain, but for those who do satisfy modern requirements I'd say it was the opportunity of a lifetime.

I bet the OS would just love me to apply!

I'd almost dare them to give me a ring :D.

Especially as one who was banned from the press box for "negating the influence of the official site," or some such phraseology.

Whatever, the move would seem to be a positive one by the OS and a back-handed compliment to the main City fansites whose prompt after match analysis even to the point of detailed player ratings from so many contributors which, together, must have made quite an impression.

Certainly I've noticed the OS is far less inclined to let Reserves match reports wait until the following day because, by then, any number of people from here would have posted wide ranging analysis.

As always though the problem for the OS is representing the club (as it does) and publishing credible reports which really do give an honest and analytical appraisal of the game. Will the analyst be free to analyse?

At least there's an argument, weak though it is, for the OS in that they are a PR machine for the club. But, there's no excuse for the county's newspaper the Leicester Mercury whose analysis so often avoids any constructive criticism of either the players, manager, chairman, the manager's tactics nor anything else of genuinely constructive value.

If that's changed of late I apologise because I'm no longer any more than an occasional reader. I'd sooner read what you folk say.

And that's a pity from the paper's point of view. Because in times past the Mercury's football reports and supporting analysis were highly respected and very widely read.

Not quite sure what the devil you lot are all talking about? Every pro football club in the country would have a match analyst, using prozone etc, and obviously the last one has been removed with the rest of the back room team, and Pearson doesn't have one he normally works with. It's a legal requirement to advertise the job on the website, it's not an actual advert intending to get average Joe (and even worse, your average idiot internet fan) to apply for the job.

And it's not a match 'analyst' in the same way that you lot 'analyse' matches on here, in a match report style on the official website, it's for the players and coaching staff to judge where players fitness needs to be improved, to see players off the ball movements more in depth, in order to aid training.

Already addressed and potentially a far more interesting job having seen the wording of the advert. :thumbup:

This is the job that Donald Barron had/has, which is being advertised. Nothing to do with the OS.

The only reason you got your new job was because you are a black lesbian with a disability and a single family, and you come from a deprived area, didn't you know? :rolleyes:

(Hope I haven't missed any other minorities off the list).

Well, it's certainly helped me to obtain work on an equal footing with my white male counterparts.

Thank God for Harriet Harman.

I must go and polish my foot.

Great excuse.

Just when I was considering taking him off "ignore" he re-cements the bigoted foundations as to why he was put there in the first place.

Lynden B Johnson, Thrac.

Look it up.

Thrac you could use the new anti-ageism legislation ...

Yes, interesting thought that.

But although I might benefit I don't want the government giving me a patronising lift up either.

I wouldn't want to get a job because the Government leaned on people to accommodate me. I'd want to get a job because someone felt that I could do it well and would be a benefit to the place.
