It could be a very busy January...now that Mr "I dont do January's" has been binned.
Overall I'm in favour of a DOF model, which if I'm honest we havent really done. I'm doubtful it will get done, as I dont think Kenwright, Moshiri, DBB or the managers we have had want it. I mean, I'd bin them and build a club from scratch, and it is worth stating that as a caveat.
However, the big advantage if seemingly have a manager run things is you can have more ruthlessness in terms of buying and selling decisions. It's not one person buying, 1 selling, 1 coaching. I'm not sure those different views helped us and seemed to cause paralysis. What I hope, is the person managing the team will make some decisions, and perhaps have those conversations so that people can begin to leave.
Overall I think Brands was too cautious here. I do think he didnt get to do his job, but I also sense he was willing to bed in to the system around him. I'm hoping by taking some of the bureaucracy out, some decisions can be made.
