You get it backwards. Club should hire managers who play a certain style. England is an outlier where managers have signed the players. Everywhere else you have head coaches who don't sign players (they often do have input, though).Seems kind of bonkers that a DOF dictating to a manager / coach how the team should play football, or what makes a good player - but I guess that is the corporate world we live in.
Trying to imagine a suit trying to tell Ferguson, Wenger, Guardiola, Ancelotti what makes a good footballer and how to win a given match.
I can see how they might be the football representative on the board and take that fluff away from the coach - and I can see how they would be involved in choosing a manager in the first place. From then on you'd hope they work to support the manager and try and align it with long term club strategy / squad health.
But the reality of football is there are very few managerial dynasties these days and a player on a 5 year contract will likely see 2-3 different managers. You can pay off a manager but not a team.Seems kind of bonkers that a DOF dictating to a manager / coach how the team should play football, or what makes a good player - but I guess that is the corporate world we live in.

Don’t know anything about him, but if his highlights reels are anything to go by then he looks garbage!We'll do well to get him, listening to a local Valenciano radio report this morning other bigger fish with CL to offer are interested too.
Its more that the club and DoF dictate what style they want to implement and then hire managers based on that style. Of course there will be variations of said style but by keeping it more or less the same you avoid the revolving door of the squad and have a healthier environment. All in all, the club from the manager to DoF to owner should all be aligned and working the same hymn sheet.Seems kind of bonkers that a DOF dictating to a manager / coach how the team should play football, or what makes a good player - but I guess that is the corporate world we live in.

I've seen him a few times over the last year and your right he is. Just scores goals and pulls defenders all over the park. Big swerve.Don’t know anything about him, but if his highlights reels are anything to go by then he looks garbage!
I guess that’s where having a ‘committee’ probably makes more sense. If you have a number of people plugged into a team of stakeholders making recruitment decisions, that continuity will outlast a single director. In traditional business a director oversees culture and strategy etc. ours haven’t really lasted more than a couple of years during which we’ve had sparse transfer windows.You get it backwards.

It might work but there are risks. Especially if manager gets to hire people in the other roles. There is also always the issue of who has the last word? Selecting the people to the roles is crucial, they have to share a common vision and have to get along with each other.I guess that’s where having a ‘committee’ probably makes more sense.

I'm guessing we're up to about 50 now!
That might be the case, but in just saying his highlight reels make him look crap!I've seen him a few times over the last year and your right he is. Just scores goals and pulls defenders all over the park. Big swerve.
I agree big swerve. Can’t be having people who scores goals here that just won’t do.I've seen him a few times over the last year and your right he is. Just scores goals and pulls defenders all over the park. Big swerve.
