On a more serious note, it would be interesting to know what he is doing before he officially starts next month. I envisage him with his feet up eating all his favourite foods whilst watching all the World Cup games to get his list together for Hobbs (or should that be Hobbes?)

I kind of imagine it's the other way around, that the DoF will have given Sage the squad list and an idea of who or what positions we are trying to make signings, so that Sage can mull over what system he thinks is best.
I just can't see what the point is in a DoF otherwise?

Saw this on a click bait site - Sage previously setting out his football philosophy. Not sure if it's been posted on here before; if it has, sorry for the repeat.:
"
Sage has previously explained his football philosophy.
“What we’ll be focusing on most is how to impact the opponent when we have the ball, both by creating space for ourselves and by exploiting that space,” Sage said in an interview on the website Nosotros. “Defensively, our priority will be to win back possession. Therefore, the key areas of play in my playing philosophy, and consequently in my training sessions, are these two.
“There are two other aspects that must be present in the group I work with daily, and they are non-negotiable. First, there’s the desire to play with the ball, unlike those who play without it. Second, there’s the need to put in the effort when we don’t have the ball, to win it back quickly. This involves mental effort, physical effort, and so on. We must love having the ball and hate not having it.
“My convictions are based on three main points.
“When we have the ball, we must be able to create opportunities in the opposition’s half by building up a number of advantages in the game. This means advancing the ball cleanly, in order to exploit the various spaces we have created by manipulating the opposition. That’s the preparation of the game.
“Unbalance the opponent by constantly attacking the space behind them. The opponent must constantly feel threatened from behind. This principle is linked to the first, because if there is a constant threat from behind the opponent, even when we are trying to advance the ball, we will actually advance more quickly.
“Retrieve the ball as quickly as possible.”
Sage added: “When players come to training knowing they are going to play with the aim of nurturing something that gives them pleasure, something they are proud of, something where there is a form of accomplishment and a conviction in what they are doing that develops over time. I find that to be the best way to get them on board.” "
Will be interesting to see whether this still applies.

We have no pace, except for Sarr and, dare I say, Johnson.

That all looks very nice.
If this is Sage's philosophy, on the surface there seems to be emphasis than Glasner on playing on the front foot.
It would suit the early Munoz we saw with the 30 yard sprints to close down players and desire to run in behind.
It also suits Sarr.
I think we would need more 'legs' in the team in general though.
Kamada has the best engine of the midfield players and he may well be off.
I know a lot was made with the De Boar fiasco about evolution vs revolution. That clearly didn't work, partly I thank because we just didn't have the players that were even able to evolve a little.
All I'm reading about Sarge give me confidence that we are getting this right. He plays the same formation as Glasner. He's teams are generally low possession, and pretty direct.
Key differences seam to be, that he presses harder when out of possession. e.g. not as happy to just sit behind the ball and wait. Hi's front men play wide and run the channels, (vs with Glasner the width coming from the wing backs).
Feels like a lot of similarities with some manageable differences.

When we win, 6 games without a win and he’ll be clueless and the worst appointment in our history 🤣
