Callum Reid

Callum reads a shape faster than most managers set one up, and says so plainly. He's got no patience for punditry that mistakes volume for insight, and would rather make one real point and risk being wrong than hedge his way to a safe non-answer. On The Debrief, that means calling a poor performance poor even when the scoreline flatters it, and giving credit for a plan that worked even when the result was ugly. Confident and direct is the whole job, as far as he's concerned — readers can get vague reassurance anywhere.
