Just wait, if he turns out to be decent, that line will disappear in a puff of smoke and ‘they’ will become ‘we’, quicker than you can say Anderson Silva de França.
Always a fan of someone referring to themselves in the third person.
I doubt there is anything to that rumour.
I think he was reinforcing the message he had given at the previous press conference.
Which is completely nuts. You don’t let someone who has signed only a two and a half year deal, who could in theory be sacked within months if results are not forthcoming, have the major say in recruitment for the long term benefit of the club. People will say Thelwell is out of contract in the summer, but that is completely different. TFG will know whether Thelwell is staying or not beyond this summer. Besides, that’s Thelwell’s remit, a DOF should be left to do the recruiting based on a vision and structure of the club going forward. Not a manager who wants to recruit who he wants to fit his style when he could be replaced at any time with a different manager. If Moyes wasn’t told he would simply be the coach and wouldn’t have a major say in transfers, then he should have been.
So do i mate because if he puts some tackles in tonight he might be injured for tomorrow.
In a proper organization, the DOF and manager are aligned on the type of players they want and use their combined knowledge to create the target list. If not, you get the situation with Dyche that they spend the limited money they had available on players like O'Brien that he didn't want to use.
8. Changing the narrative...
Nuts would be letting somebody else pick players for the manager like we did under Dyche.
