Craig Inness currently works at SkillCorner, a company that specialises in providing tracking data to clubs and federations around the world. If you have seen previous episodes, you may have noticed that this data has been mentioned a few times and so I thought it would be a good idea to get Craig on and discuss in a bit more detail.Interestingly, before Craig got into this, he was a first team analyst within football clubs. He actually took the bold decision to leave that role after some changes in circumstances. We speak about that move, work/life balance and how the role of the analyst has (and continues to) change.Craig also shares his screen mid way through and gives a real life example of how football recruitment departments may use the tracking data to get insights about new recruits.0:00 - Introduction2:36 - Craig joins and gives overview, interning at Swansea9:27 - Unpaid work, internships12:45 - Being analyst at Brighton & Hove Albion16:35 - How the analyst role has changed19:00 - Norwich City, and relationships with other staff28:35 - Work/Life balance, leaving the analyst role36:25 - Working a 'normal job' outside of football41:16 - Telestrations43:30 - Skill Corner, Craig's current role, tracking data50:54 - Using tracking in recruitment (including screen share)1:03:58 - Different types of player runs1:07:10 - Advice for analysts, work experience1:12:09 - What's next within tracking data1:15:27 - Book recommendations, wrap up, Euro 2024 final predictionsRelevant Videos

On this instalment of the podcast I am joined by Mark Warburton. Mark spent 20 years working in the city in the financial markets before transitioning to the world of football.Throughout the episode Mark explains what he actually did a currency trader and how some of those skills allowed him to fast track his journey as a football coach. Mark has spent time as an academy director, technical director, and then as manager. He has managed Brentford, Rangers, QPR, Forest and then most recently had a spell at West Ham as first team coach under David Moyes.I really enjoyed this and was fascinated by some of Marks experiences.

For this video I am joined by Jason Stephens, a international football business lecturer at UCFB. Jason is an expert on the growing trend of multi-club ownerships in football (MCOs) and kindly shares some of his wisdom.
Man City are of course part of this with City Football Group, but the whole landscape is a web of connections between rich individuals, businesses, and venture funds.
I found this conversation fascinating and so I hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to subscribe!
