You can have the most watertight plan in the world and it be utterly worthless if the higher ups are hell bent on torpedoeing it at every opportunity. The running theme of every DoF and Manager since Carlo has been that they've been over-promised and under-delivered on everything finances. We haven't even had a board for about 2 years now.
Hence my comment about the role just being pointless in the Moshiri years, from day one we have just made a total balls up of it and the way the role should run.
The DoF model should be that they create a group of players that are of a certain type/style and to have a manager to suit, if it goes wrong for the manager the next manager should be employed based on the squad that is being assembled.
Meh I agree the next manager shouldn't be overhauling squads, which is mainly where we have went wrong but you definitely can switch playstyles and have success. Newcastle went from Bruce to Howe, Brighton went from Hughton to Potter. Hell, we went from Martinez, to Koeman, to Silva to Ancelotti and each improved on the previous last season in their first.
Yeah it doesnt help when you have the owner sticking his nose into transfers, also letting managers cherry pick certain players.
Were is the evidence that a big overhaul doesent work?
Its not about knowing the role its about letting someone get on with their job without interference from others.
Think you missed the bit where I said he was none partisan, he hasn’t mentioned fighting relegation or bothered to laugh or mock in years. His comment was about the quality of the side.
