I accept that the role is to big for one manager - like when Ferguson and Wenger did it or Moyes with us. I just don’t think it’s suited us at all, perhaps it to much of a culture shift, poor governance or dominant managers.
But on every metric we’ve disemproved, we are poor at recruiting and developing youth - in the 00s we were one of the most attractive teams for young players to sign and develop. Scouting seems atrocious. Costs are through the roof, injuries are long term, contracts are just run down, we’ve a different manager every year at best. We neglect and don’t develop youth, failing Lookman, Robinson, Vlasic, Kean, Gordon etc.
We spent a lot of money on the above structures, across three different DOF’s it’s been money for old rope really. Thelwells gone on a spree appointing loads of support staff - Dyche now comes in and will have his own ideas, he will dominate Thelwel, it’s just his personality.
Im at the point with it that we were better on all fronts when everything was under one figure hsad, by all means employ the support staff to take care of the work load and delegate, but having equal DOFs and managers just hasn’t worked here.
If I’m proved wrong in that I’ll happily acknowledge it, the evidence is da mining though. On every metric it’s been poor.
