Interesting, it will be interesting to see what players he wants to bring in and those he wants out.
The club needs to reconnect with the fans, maybe he is the man to do it. |  | | |  |

A degree in how to score goals might be more appropriate. | | | |

a degree in emotional intelligence, that's one step up from a few days in the school of hard knocks.
it's called understanding people and your environment ffs

Learning through emotions as opposed to cognitive experience if understood by those with a slight degree of intelligence is a very powerful tool. |  |

nah, just about marrying up the qualification to the job description.
so a degree in emotional intelligence required for what purpose in our club at this moment in time?
what graduate level skills are critical to the current scope of the role?
reckon huw has got an mba in strategic planning? perhaps he should do one part time?
education is a great thing, relevance is key, not just wheeling it out for a media soundbite a la the dossier etc | | | |

Good man management in any environment is a valued tool, he seems to be an organised person who demands order in the working place, wether by cajoling, mentoring or outright bullocking, willing to give Mr Potter his head.
Hopefully he can look at how players are brought into the club and let go, this needs a refreshed approach badly. |  | | |

Rubbish. 20 year olds are putting themselves £30,000 in debt precisely because they do value getting a degree. They're harder working, and face a tougher time, than students from 20 or 30 years ago. |  |

They are indeed. I spent most of my student years in a drunken haze. I dare say my attitude would have been different if I'd been shelling out £9.5k a year on fees and didn't have a grant to cover a fair chunk of my living expenses. And that's without mentioning the far more competitive economic environment they'll be facing. I don't envy them in the slightest, they've been dealt a rum hand.
The rest is spot on though. It's a pretty depressing state of affairs when someone is queried for being well-educated in a subject which, given the undoubted importance of the mental state on performance, looks to be pretty relevant to the job of football manager. Experts though eh. What do they know. |  |

The costs of delivering HE have risen astronomically for many subjects and facilities have much improved. If one went to University in the 1980s then buildings were in poor repair, there was little resource beyond a library. Nowadays the resources provided are enormous and the support given huge. The vast numbers going into HE have 'dumbed down' degree standards for sure, but students do in general work harder in a more competitive environment. The problem is fees have to be paid somehow-either though general taxation or individual taxation-which is what the loan for fees really is and one that is only repaid at a certain income level. The real cost of clinical and engineering degrees is still almost double what students pay. This is forgotten.
I do agree that the value of education is being eroded. Nice to see a manager with education and intelligence. | | | |

Well it's a Master's Degree, which would have taken some intense studying to achieve. It's obviously paid off for Ostersund. At least it's a higher level of education than Jenkins achieved when he became our esteemed "Director of Football". . . . . .will it work out? Who knows? But I'm more impressed by this guy's efforts to better both himself and the club he manages, than any of the old guard we could have gone for. |  |

I can't speak for the 80's but the facilities in my uni in the 90's were excellent and having spent some time in other uni's since, I'm not sure I've seen a massive improvement in that regard. All uni's are different though ... the facilities in Swansea Uni have clearly improved in recent times.
The drive to get as many into HE was one of Blair's bigger follies I've long argued. The thinking seemed little more than more in Uni = better educated population = better for the economy, which is bonkers really when you think about it. The German education model which gives a lot more focus on non-academic pursuits is far better suited to the realities of the 21st century IMO.
The costs argument is a fair one and there's no easy answer in the current climate. I do think the current scenario is the worst of the options though ... loading graduates with around £60k of debt before entering the workforce can't be the ideal. It's certainly not going to do much for social mobility, and I'm not sure I would have followed the path I would have. A reduction of numbers and general taxation would be the more logical to me, if coupled with other educational reforms to give everyone a chance. | |

I would never have gone to college / university in today's climate.
But both my kids studied in the noughts (Engineering (MSc) and Arts / Law (PhD)) and came out with debts of under £10,000 still ridiculously high IMO. Neither took a penny from us but worked to cover their fees and expenses.
Debt is too easily acquired.
Our problem has been elitism of the public school system where a degree in Latin has greater kudos than one in plumbing. The German model, which one of mine went through for initial degree, demands practical excellence and very high academic, educational and personal standards and most are directly related to work.
Getting the highest education you can should be a goal in itself. | |
