Interesting and ambitious move. Syrianos was a swimmer at Olympiacos and at the national swimming squad, and his father was a rower in the national team. He studied business management in the UK, and then sports data analysis at Columbia University.
For those who wish to bother with google translate here's an interview of his back from 2018: https://www.gazzetta.gr/planetfootb...nas-poy-allazei-tis-metagrafes-sti-bundesliga

Hey I’m studying business management.
Forest hire me, I’ll source some high quality coffee.
But in all seriousness it sounds like a promising move, I’ve always wanted someone who’s successful in German football to get involved in our setup.

Oikonomidis hints that this is only the first in a long line of drastic behind the scenes changes.

Another long Greek interview: https://www.gazzetta.gr/football/ar...soy-anoigei-ta-matia-otan-anaziteis-proponiti
He seems keen to use data analysis to everything from scouting to opponent analysis and even to the choice of managers. I suspect he may have more than a simple scouting job.
Incidentally, he wasn't just any swimmer: in 2007 he broke the Greek junior national record at 100m breastplate, which had held since 1990.

This sort of appointment seems to indicate a U-turn from "I want results yesterday" to "building from the bottom up". Unless I'm being too optimistic.

Either something went wrong in translation or you actually make your junior swimmers wear a piece of armour whilst in competition.

I know your passion for Stuttgart mate and how we've spoken about their policies in the past.
This is unbelievably positive news and it seems like Forest are finally been dragged into modern ways. Almost gives you hope again. Just needs 1 or 2 more like minded individuals around him and then it's up to can Hughton get himself and his team to match those requirements.

Notthigham? Oh, the French and their spelling.
I wouldn't read much into that. It does not mean that Mansouri works for you, he's probably just a member of Modesto's network. Scouters officially registered to watch a match have to declare affiliation with a club they're scouting for. The guy may simply be scouting players for us, for all you know, especially post-Brexit. We have been heavily linked with Lens' left back Issiaga Sylla, for example.
But now that I think of it, Sylla (a Guinean international) may be a target for you as well.

Its clearly a good move, but alongside "talented young players with upside" I hope the club is also going to listen to CH regarding "what we need in the here and now in the Championship" so he has the squad that he can work with the deliver the league position that everyone in critics corner is baying for....

Suddenly all the defenders of Vretroz & Modesto have gone quiet.
It's a start at least. Won't get too carried away until we're showing evidence that we're actually recruiting Championship fit players. It's all very well it looking good on paper, but the Mendez & his "copy Wolves" model did to some too (not me unsurprisingy).
Anyone who hasn't got a slight concern that yet again it's another person unfamiliar with this league has just proven themselves incapable of learning. It might work this time, it might not, but the good news here for me is the fact EM has recognized the main weakness at the club.
No doubt that if any of us point out any flaws we're seeing in the new setup it'll result in several years of the white knights appearing en masse to shout any criticism down, then going silent when everyone's caught on to the truth.
I'd love to have a highlights reel of all the defending of Carvalho, Soudani, Da Costa etc.
Even if this new lad isn't great, he's gonna struggle to waste 18m as badly as that. That was Platt-esq

CH is obviously gonna play an active Role in putting the Recruitment Team in Place which is possibly long overdue. I think maybe those mistakes of signing over 30 year olds on long 3 year Contracts have possibly been learned from. I think he might even have brought in a Scout that he worked with at Newcastle Birmingham Norwich and Brighton. Not full time but on an advisory basis. So with this guy from Germany being announced on the analytical side of things. It looks like a lot of " du diligence " is gonna be done on the recruitment side of things which is possibly long overdue. So I am 100 % persuaded that the next couple of transfer windows are gonna be more fruitful. Getting some players out of the door is still a challenge though.

My dislike of Vrentzos is well known here, so I'm hopeful he's out and takes Modesto with him too.
We need to poach a new CEO with experience of running a successful Championship club and completely overhaul our scouting and recruitment set-ups. Randall recently talked about the failure of short-term thinking, so I'm pinning the success or failure of this summer's overhaul on him now.
It may well be that we need to have a couple of Hughton-driven windows while the new operations get up to speed, but I'd have money that CH has more contacts and credibility in his little finger than Vrentzos and Modesto combined.

My thoughts exactly mate, it is not always gonna be binary & be constantly perfect. Admitting mistakes is a huge plus, generally we have been on an upwards curve every year they have been here.

Well said chap. Spot on.
Compare the signings what Hughton landed in Jan this season, to the god awful ones we bought in Lamouchi's. It's night and day.
Reading posters defend Modesto's signing to the hilt on here has been more entertaining than watching most those signings play

This is the only important point. We all have an idea of how we want stuff done, I suppose I come under the 'Defenders of Modesto' although it's more what I thought he represented, which was the club hiring somebody who has kicked a ball this millennium as Technical Director, still think he could play a decent role if the recruitment side of things actually get fleshed out properly this time and that includes the CEO, be it Vrentzos or whoever, sticking to the business side of things.
