It's not like the analytics have just chucked out some random name from the bottom of someone
00:06
who had been performing well in the National League in England or something. Neil Critchley
00:12
has a pedigree. He's, like I said, taken Blackpool up via the League One playoffs. You can make your
00:19
own assumptions about how difficult an achievement that actually is. To actually keep them in the
00:24
championship, I think that's probably what you'd have to say is the biggest achievement of his
00:28
career. Getting the QPR job, again, I've spoken enough about them, but to be given that job,
00:35
that was on merit. He was assistant manager at Aston Villa, a club who are now in the Champions
00:40
League and had some struggles in the Premier League under Steven Gerrard, obviously. Again,
00:44
that experience that you'll have gotten as a coach at Liverpool, that really will be the thing
00:49
that's given him a strong basis to build off of. I get that you have to respect the analytics,
00:55
but I don't think anyone saw this name. Certainly anyone at heart, behind the scenes,
00:59
saw this name, looked at it and went, oh, really? I'm not sure about him. They might have looked at
01:04
it and went, OK, yeah, I can see what this guy brings to the table. And looking at the
01:08
analytics and going, yeah, I think it's worth a shot.
