This is really strange.
On the one hand, great that a problem has been recognised and people are going to do something about it. Obviously Ron Atkinson was at one extreme, but the whole "pace and power" cliché and this research shows there's an underlying problem that will hopefully be addressed.
On the other hand - Tyldsley sounds like he's pre-emptively saying "it's not me/us" before the research has even been analysed or digested, and doesn't sound like he's been particularly reflective on his own practice.
