ralphindevon Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 In all seriousness I wonder how many points a really good analyst could claim was down to them over a season? As many as say Kasey Palmer? If so you can have his wage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's barely more than we pay graduates at my software consultancy and they want "Extensive experience of professional football and performance analysis in a similar role". If I were at AG getting the best I could in these positions would be one of my top priorities. Do these things count against FFP? Either way it's dwarfed even by a novice player wage and arguably could have far more impact. Edited May 25, 2022 by IAmNick 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to work with students who'd intern at prem and efl clubs (including City) who were paid nothing for a whole season of interning. Lead performance analysts would get about 25k average at championship level, less at lg1 and 2 level. I knew one guy who'd been a performance analyst at Peterborough + left the game and retrained as a heating engineer because he couldn't support hsi family on the wage he was being offered. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underhanded Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 (edited) To add to the above - A very good friend of mine has been involved in GK coaching since he was 18, so last 13-14 years. He worked part time for a championship-prem yo-yo club for years (whilst working full time as a teacher) - they'd regularly offer him a full time salary of 22-23k, which he simply couldn't afford to commit to. He's now full time at a lg1 club for around 28k, which is just about enough considering he's just had a kid. He's their lead academy coach, writes the whole programme, deals with strategy - you'd never get any sort of leadership role paying that at any other organisation I can think of. Ive always thought the pay imbalance at football clubs should get more press attention than it does, not to mention the absolute scandal of unpaid placements within the football industry Edited May 26, 2022 by underhanded Typi 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SecretSam Posted May 26, 2022 Share Posted May 26, 2022 I've just had a look at the JD, it mentions Hudl and Tableau, both of which we use at my company - quite specialist. It's a key role and would require not only excellent analytical skills, but PM and comms skills as well. You'd be pitching at a senior level and would need to have some gravitas behind you. Plus a Masters, etc. Those sorts of skills are highly desirable in the workforce, and highly portable - I work in healthcare and we have people who do similar things. I'm agreeing with me...it's >£25k compared with the wider market for that sort of person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hamdon Mart Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 The trouble is though, clubs that advertise positions with what is perceived to be a poor salary will probably find somebody that WILL do the job for that salary & therein lies the problem. Folks circumstances are different and some will work for it if they have a few quid in the bank as a buffer. Some graduate type peeps will do it for the experience and a springboard into a different / better paid job elsewhere in the industry. If I was qualified enough to do this for £20-24k, I would possibly consider it. However as someone who has started working in football relatively recently (and in my mid fifties), I'm unlikely to be considered for the role. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
