They are just making these jobs up now! How did Football last so long when it was just a Manager with 4 or 5 Assistant's, Coaches and a team of Scouts with the Chairman or Owner getting involved when it got to 'Talks'!? I'd be interested to know how much this guy is getting paid, Enough to sign 2 or 3 Academy players to senior contracts?

Same as me now, fuming

Can you spot me a tenner please mate?

Back then everything was smaller. Revenues were a fraction, you didn't have nearly as much staff (more physios, cooks, nutritionists, data analysts, etc). Contracts are way more complex, when before you had a few pages they can now be tens of pages. Managers have lot of new stuff to handle.

okay but do you think 'Football Planning' is a valid position?

You mean they pay for someone to do f all?

I don't know who plans all of it but consider there are how many youth teams + first team. There's probably a match every day, half of them aways. Someone has to arrange all those.

But I reckon this title is something higher up the chain.
 
Interesting piece in the Athletic again today (reader view required again)

I'm pretty comfortable with all of that, makes a crude oil carrier sized amount of sense for us to operate in the vein. Hope we can pull it off.

And they weren't operating globally back then. You've got an entire planet of potential players coming through that you're expected to be looking at to maximise returns. The sport has been completely commodified and globalised now, it's not a like-for-like comparison looking at how it used to be done to how it operates today.

I'm amazed we've made the progress we have alreeay, given that everything at the club needed overhauling. It wasn't just the players/manager that were an issue, it was the fact that the entire operation had been run as a cosy little club for its owner for decades. It's a massive undertaking to reshape it into a competitive sports industry business.

Yes, but are they "Premier League Proven"?

That's apparently the most important question.
