Everton’s Head of Sports Medicine Mick Rathbone has today left the Club

[Mutzo Nutzo]

what ? when running it off didn't work he offered to bum it off ?

Do the maths Reidy....Rathbone gets the push....Bumming has got be involved somewhere...it always is. it was all those post-match rub-downs he did...even offered it to Fellaini, even though he hadn't played for 6 weeks!....The dirty beast

the yak would've flipped him over and it'd've been like drilling for oil.

Bit harsh Mutz no ?

Source informed myself and LCAB that Moyesie would probably get a doctor type to head up the Physio department . That has been mentioned before and so probably been in the pipeline for a while. I do always wonder why our players take bloody ages to return to action. Think Moyes also became pissed off with Baz's statements of when players would be ready. Anyway , all the best Baz.

I think thats the logical case THT - see last posts on here.

We can afford to now too thanks to Moyes' stabilising the club and our relative successes - shoring up the finances.

And there's plenty of specialists we could get to head up the Sports Medicine dept. They can do that in addition to their practices - whilst supervising the more junior members (club doctor and the physio and training teams)

It's entirely feasible.

People forget Moyes goes to plenty of seminars and football/sports science related conferences himself or through the various associations he's a member of.... so I don't doubt he's already got someone in mind or intends to advertise the position to a senior medical professional

Yeah Moyes always looking for ways to give us an edge and get the most out of the players. All will be revealed mate when we have some solid info.

Yeah just spat my tea out !! Wish you'd have warned me Reidy !!

Lol...Thanks Reidy...I've now got to try and get some sleep, with that image in my mind!

Does this mean less injuries and quicker return from injuries?

Well he's been using Prozone for years (that's what Steve Round's got coming through his head phones isn't it one of the analysts giving him info?) - there was something advertised previously about "player analysts" working with David Moyes last year advertised in the US.

Everton's Head of Performance Analysis is with the team in Italy.

James Smith is based at Bellefield but his contribution to the pre-season preparation takes him wherever David Moyes and his squad go.

"We are planning to film and analyse the training sessions," James said.

"The players will start to play small-sided games this week so we'll have a close look at them and see how they are getting on."

Moyes himself is a huge supporter of sports science and James revealed that the Everton boss was ahead of his time during his previous job.

"He was actually one of the pioneers of performance analysis," said James. "When he was at Preston North End I believe that they were the only non-Premiership club to have Prozone."

There are two technical systems that Everton's analysis team use - Prozone and Sportscode.

James explained the difference between the two:

"Prozone gives you a lot of detail, a lot of very in-depth information but it's not in real-time. They analyse the information for us and send back the information within 24 hours of a game finishing.

"Sportscode allows us to code the games ourselves as they are being played enabling us to feed data and stats to the staff at half-time."

The analytical review of data from training and from football matches is still a relatively new concept but James added that it's improving at a rapid pace.

"Five years ago, performance analysis didn't exist and there was very little sports science within the game but now it's just growing all the time," he said.

"There are certain clubs, like Everton, who really buy into it and use everything we can to get every ounce out of the players."


He's defo clued up is Moyes. And it seems to me that Moyesy's decided he wants a "big fish" in the role of Head of Sports Medicine at the club now.

By that I mean a high level doctor (surgeon or similar)

Yeah Matt I know James . Not mates like just know him. Moyes installed Cameras in his first summer at the Blues in 24 different locations to monitor the players work rates etc. That's probably how he manages to squeeze every last drop out of the players. Imagine him with some cash mate ??

Well I think its a misconception that he's not got cash. He has.... he just doesn't have bucket loads to go buy several players a season, especially in an inflated market like we have had, or to throw it around like confetti "benitez style" then do what the FSW does and moan he's not had enough.

Its probably why he makes players play better when they come here.

Do think that this whole medical dept thing has been Moyes deciding to make a long term change for the club..... with someone really high level in the field.

Agree with this point..i.e Medical thing

Well I think its a misconception that he's not got cash. He has....

Don't agree with this point mate. Sourcey has said a few times we are chasing cash i.e. this summers money went last summer etc.. We always find some like but could probably do with it at the start of the window not the end...

A while ago I posted about the pitch conditions at Finch Farm & GP, and whether there was a link to all the injuries we were getting. Down here in the Antipodes, they have noted this as an issue & have addressed the different ground conditions to some extent. For example, you can be playing on a cold, wet, wintry VIC ground one week, in the QLD tropics the next, and follow up with a visit to the dry grounds in WA.

However, this has created quite a level of expertise in the area of knee surgery, to the point where a player who has done his ACL can be back to playing in 90 days, rather than 12 months!

In other words...Moysie needs another cobber!!!!
