So with 9+ players joining the the team the biggest challenge is getting them to play as team rather than group of individuals.
All new teams go four distinct phases, Forming – Storming – Norming – Performing. These phases are all necessary and inevitable in order for the team to grow, to face up to challenges, to tackle problems, to find solutions, to plan work, and to deliver results. (as it says in wiki)
So when the stories come out of this player has fallen out with that player or he's fallen out with the manager or is just not happy and blames everyone for another poor result (and I guess we should expect one or two poor results as the team forms) we will know where they have got. Get passed this, which can take time, we start performing.
Question is, how long should we expect this to take? Whats your expectation of how long it will take the team to settle down and start delivering?
Not all teams get past Storming. Will we do a Southampton and over perform with the new players or bomb like Spurs did when they spent all the Bale cash, or Newcastle last year.
Worst case - we end the season with a squad of individuals, in wrong division and needing to rebuild. Again.
Best case - and given the talent and trust in Tim's ability - we could in for a cracking season that really pushes on from say Christmas.

for a moment I thought I was back in a corporate 80s/90s training seminar being force fed 'The Pursuit of Excellence'. My old Marketing Director ended every conversation with 'have fun'. to which I always replied 'How can I Alan, working for you!' Happy days, I think

That Tom Peters knew nothing.

I think we should run the 4-3-3 formation up the flagpole and see who salutes.

I reckon we should try 4-3-4 and see how long it takes the ref to notice we've got 12 players on the pitch. Worth a try.

Or Kotler.

We need to start thinking outside the box here guys
-
How about we just let Tim, Ray and the boys get on with what they do.

I'm glad we reached out to Nantes for Veretout, looks a good player.

Maybe they should analyse all their MBTI profiles as well.
FFS.

we're pushing the envelope, kicking negativity into the long grass and indulging in blue sky thinking for the first time, in a long time
-
I think we should put a record on and see who dances up the strategic staircase going forward, then maybe touch base off line and get together in an idea shower

You dirty ba**ard!!!

We could get Coventry in the early round of the League Cup. A chance for some Sky Blue thinking.
-
I'm imagineering that Baker will still be practising his just in time defending techniques, hopefully outside the box and without too much horizontal integration
-
When synergy is achieved through optimal strategic planning and operation we will reach out true potential and maximise out output on the field.
-
Last season we had too much thinking outside of the box with nobody in it. We also had plenty of blue sky thinking as we hoisted the ball in the air.
-
So that's all good.
-
That's claret and blue sky thinking for you.

Makes a change from the Paul Lambert version I suppose:
Mumbling - bumbling - crumbling - humbling
-
Haha brilliant Risso
-
Reminds me how much I hated management training courses and all the ridiculous models and theories which to most people are just common sense. I hated those.
Except for the 'Hot Crazy Matrix'. That's a good one.
In football terms I think Adebeyor would be high up the 'crazy' axis.
And Gary Shaw would have been a Unicorn.

Are we dogs, stars, cash cows or question marks?

Who cares?. What's important, is the strategic staircase that our new management team are putting in place. They are creating the bandwidth necessary for success; it's only by developing core competencies that we will be able to action the key deliverables. I've been hugely impressed with this sea change this summer. It's high altitude flying .

I see what all of you are saying but with all due respect we need to address the issue on whether or not to move the goalposts. The fact of the matter is it's not rocket science as long as we are all singing from the same hymn sheet, if not we'll find ourselves between a rock and a hard place.
-
not a problem as long as we bore down and discover the right outcome - provided, of course, that our stakeholders, colleagues and supply chain share our vision and narrative
