Ep32: Rebuilding a Winning Squad

Welcome to the Technical Area, your weekly FM podcast brought to you by Gaffer Graemo.

This week, we're looking at rejuvenating a winning squad. Successful times for clubs often arise when players are in their prime collectively. Sustaining this period is difficult, as other challenges rise up and luck can run out. So, when the time comes to make changes, timing is crucial. Squad Building is a natural part in any team’s cycles, but with established hierarchies and intricate dynamics, changing a squad can be a risk too far for many managers - One which must be navigated carefully.

As Lockdown restrictions in Ireland ease and Summer resumes, my time to record the podcast will be curbed. Episodes may appear irregularly and be for shorter sessions, but my commitment to the podcast will continue, and your patience and support over the past number of months has been greatly appreciated and will be going forward over the Summer period
