Ayrshirebear73 27 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I've been thinking of this for a long time. And I think football clubs are all set up wrong internally. To have a manager responsible for picking the team, scouting players, buying players and deciding who leaves is all wrong. Most of buying and selling should be a business decision not the guy picking the team who will not want to sell his prized player no matter the bid. The board and CEO should establish a budget and give this budget to a director of football. The director of football should appoint a coach, scouts and youth development teams. The director of football should then supply a squad of say twenty players to a coach at the end of every transfer window. The coach must then coach these players and pick the team every week.Dialogue between coach and director of football can allow the director to know where the coach feels need strengthened but when bids come in or go out for players the director of football makes the decisions. Director of football can use scouting system or youth development system to replace and rebuild squad of twenty withing the wage budget given by CEO and board. This would stop super ally's "we need more players" answer to every dodgy performance. And actually make the coach attempt to improve the players he already has at his disposal. Even give said coach a percentage if any profit made from the sale of his improved players. Rant for today over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mitre_mouldmaster 21,509 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Bound to be trouble when the director of football brings in an expensive player that the coach does not like and sidelines him.Coach should be given a list of suggestions by the DOF and work that way.To be honest, a good chief scout is more important imo.

So if they refuse to play players the director has bought u get a new coach. Director becomes most important football man at club as he sets the direction of whether to buy or produce players. Coach only improves them and picks team. Tactical approach should be decided at start of season between the dof and coach and the coach tweaks as appropriate.

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 Manager = director of football It's the same job - and both - either - need to work with CEO on budget constraints - it ain't rocket science Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
