On the subject - how much appetite is there on bluesky for a kind of 'football/soccer analytics paper book club'?

(idk how it would work, there's lots of ways it could, but the thoughts been floating in the back of my head for a while. My instinct would be to pitch it at 'approachable' level)
Random request: Does anyone know of previous studies or longform pieces that's tried to examine the value of managers/head coaches in football? The only one I know of is that John Muller piece from like 2-3 yrs ago
