DOF, Manager or Head Coach

Recommended Posts

With Nigel having been shown the door due to having a different opinion to the board.

Could the club be looking at re-structuring to a more European based model?

Director of Football - Handles all transfers, contracts, scouting etc

First Team Coach - Training, Matches, Tactics

Maybe the Thai Board just had enough of butting heads with Pearson over him wanting to manage and they wanted to do it the way they see fit.

lol at people talking about Pearson falling out, when every single interview, quote, whatever shows the exact opposite about NP....

A DoF who doesn't work with the players and signs players either Football Manager-style or based on committee?

Rather than adding people who not only can kick a ball in the right direction but are also made of the right stuff mentally & will blend with the rest of the squad rather than upset the apple cart?

It seems sustainable building days are over and we're back to chequebook management, let's hope it turns out ok

Fingers crossed & up the City

Well, certainly the days of a manager managing all the football aspects of the club are diminishing. It is no better or worse a model than having the manager manage.

:unsure:

 

 

We already have a director of football ( john Rudkin) and Nigel was our manager so i don't see what restructuring will be needed? I am assuming they are just going to refill Nigels position

Would O'Neill be happy not to manage all parts of the club?

 

Doubt it, he left Villa for not having control of transfers, being forced to sell players a diminished budget to replace them

 

Here, I think he'd want to be like Pearson, but I don't think lurching from 3/4 year plan to 3/4 year plan, with personnel and direction, systems changing each time

 

IMO a pretty set way of playing, attracting footballers who can play that way, developing youngsters who can too makes managers interchangeable and it's what many of the continental clubs do

 

That way if you have to remove managers, there's continuity

Manager every time. The DoF system always seems to create conflict.

 

Does Jose Mourinho report to a DoF and have his transfers done without his say-so?

Does Van Gaal? Does Pellegrini? Did Fergie? Does Wenger?

 

Deos Bren... Wait, no one cares about Brendan Rodgers.

 

Pattern... Top teams in England do not use a structure such as this. They may have a Director of Football at the club, but thse above managers make their own moves in the transfer market.
