Harry Kane - Ballon d'Or 2026 Developing your own footballers, a lesson to be learned & a reminder that there is no set path; not everyone needs to be playing Top-Flight at 16yo to be a huge success. Spurs played the long game, he was the top-scorer in the 18s in 2009/10 then it was a steady progression: - 2010/11 L1 Loan at Leyton Orient - 2011/12 C Loan at Millwall - 2012/13 Prem Loan at Norwich (Injury killed this & went to Championship Leicester) A progressive loan, players in front of him over those years were Defoe, Adebayor and Soldado who were all top internationals at the time with much more experience and whilst playing 1 CF. Harry Kane then got a little bit of lucky, like every player will need; injuries, investment in other positions & a manager, in Tim Sherwood, that knew him from academy: - Scores 1st Goal at 20yo - Becomes Spurs main CF 21yo - England Debut Goal at 21yo If there isn't a pathway at your club, get players the right loans at the right level and progress the levels year to year & then hopefully they continually return more rounded than just playing academy football. The Co-Op Agreement in Scotland is going to definitely help this for Premiership teams and then it's up to clubs to look forward

McLeish Masterstroke - Rotations & Ramsay If this was a European Coach in our league that had made the tactical tweak that Craig McLeish did, it would have been covered in great detail & praised from everyone. McLeish clearly had watched Dundee's 4-4-2 Man for Man Press & worked on a plan to dismantle it: - Changed to a 3-4-3 Structure - Clear Instruction to "Never" Build in a 5-4-1 - Rotations of Fraser/Ramsay - Thomas (RW) Rolling into Midfield Pocket These types of rotations then posed Dundee questions: - Alan Forrest (LM) Follows Ramsay or Fraser? - Both CM's Occupy Carr/Phillips; Who takes Ramsay Inverted - Who Follows Thomas? LB or CB take ownership All of those questions failed to be answered during Ramsay's opener in the game & I guarantee if this was done by European Coach in our Country, it would be given way more credit than it has... UNTIL NOW I absolutely love what Craig McLeish, Marc Kelly, Burton O'Brien & the rest of the staff are trying to do at that club just now. Long May it Continue

St.Mirren Matchday -1 Prep Visit A huge thank you to Craig McLeish for letting me come into his building and watch him, his staff & players all going through their MD-1 Prep: - Analysis Walkthrough - Tactical Training Session - With & Without the Ball Approach - Set-Play Work For/Against Getting to see full insight into everything they do from the playing staff side to Gavin Miller as Head of Recruitment, is exactly how I expect Scottish Clubs to run efficiently on a smaller budget: - Sign Younger Players e.g Sule, Carr & Fieldson - Develop the Players - Sell the Players for a Profit - Repeat The club have had excellent success over past 4 seasons, unparalleled but the last piece is an effective Player Trading Model to make St.Mirren a profitable club & allowed to continue to build a successful academy and promote their own e.g. Marcello DeBarros, Struan Thompson & Josh Farquahar Similar to Motherwell last year, I really hope this is the start of a successful time for St.Mirren & Saturday's win with a goal and assist from Eseosa Sule potentially signals how all of this works: - Win Now - Develop Ongoing - Sell Later for Profit There are no guarantees in football but right now, Top-6 & those asset players performing... Long May it Continue

That bit of skill by Bellingham in the middle was Zidane like 👏👏👏

The blatant yellow Cucurella, Rodri & Silva got away with the Gordon gets booked for a great tackle 🤣🤣🤣 Is there a country with good refs?!

Just a point on Jason Wilcox, no opinion good or bad from me, but when people talk about needing "Football Men" to make "Football Decisions": - Premier League Winner - 350+ Premier League Apps - England Internationalist - UEFA Pro Licence Coach - Head of City Academy - Southampton Technical Director - Man Utd Technical Director If people understand Data, Recruitment/Talent Identification & People; they can be successful in the Director/Recruitment roles regardless of playing experience👌

Evanilson with a Peter Van Vossen-esk finish v Kilmarnock 🥰

Putting up a video, lying about the score at the time & hiding the real scoreboard (2-0) to get engagement is the virus of the new revenue sharing system

Super Storm Sundays - Football Work Taking advantage of that "warning" and staying indoors: - Hibs v Celtic; Look into Hibs under Reedijk for my @terracepodcast article this week - Cardiff v Birmingham; Client 121 Prep - Pompey v Millwall; Client 121 Prep To be able to sit at home and be paid to do this work is such a privilege ❤️

Uncle Duties taking my neice and nephew to the game today 🔴⚪️🔵

My First* Arsenal Etihad trip We dont talk about 2008 😢

Good decision after a VAR review but on what planet did the referee not give a foul in real time?!

The fact he runs off claiming yet another goal he didnt get a touch in is utterly embarrassing Its been changed an O.G 🫡

Imagine threatening modifications because it makes your game better... Similarly to FIFA, we just want a decent career mode & leave the online gaming for the kids 🤣 Free Minanda & Castolo

Championship Client Consistency Alex Robertson was clearly passing the eye test but it's brilliant to see his hard work and dedication to developing into a Top Midfielder be matched on the data metrics: - #1 Midfielder for Progressive Passes - #2 Overall for Progressive Passes - Top 90% of Passes Completed The slightly lower pass completion context is excellent because he is such an aggressive passer: - 19 Chances Created - 119 Line-Breaking Passes In Man City's Academy, Pep Guardiola thought Alex Robertson best position would be as a "Number 6" & as per, Pep's right. 12-months ago Alex wasn't in the Cardiff City Starting XI & now on return to Championship, is currently performing very well. Long May it Continue 📈

Hugo Burcio v Celtic Felt the 19yo CM properly stood out today, first time I've seen him & another advert for Spains B-Team System. At 19, this is his 1st season with Celta First Team but has already racked up 50+ Competitive Starts. Against a midfield with a German & Swedish Internationalist in it: • 60mins • 2 Chances Created • 100% Final Third Passing (13/13) • 96% Pass Completion (46/48) One to keep an eye on 📈
