A manager is judged by his (or her) results. A director of football is always let down by a coach not implementing their plans. It’s never their fault.

Feel free to pile in, but I can only recall great teams being great (and clubs having sustained spells of success) because of their manager, not because of the “vision” of the owners.

We may not like The Bald One or the Toothy One (in the same way that everyone else hated Alex) but don’t pretend their team’s success was not down to them but was the product of some new fangled way of running a club.

We are now truly in the corporate world.

Now THAT would be interesting.

Wiegman in!
