Manager or transfer budget???

[Darthter 542]

What would you rather happen???

 

Spend notable cash to bring in a good quality manager, at the expense of some of the player transfer budget

or

Cut price manager, but maintain to full budget for bringing in new players

[Bluedell 5,366]

A good manager is vital. A bad manager may not get the same value for money so we may not end up with a better team even if we move cash to a transfer budget.

 

We won't have a huge transfer budget anyway so it's not going to make that big a difference.

You only need to look across the city to see the influence a decent manager can have on an under performing squad.

Unfortunately you may not get one without the other.

 

As such the appointment will require imagination and no small amount of self-belief from the candidate.

Cracking poll by the way Darthter

Your not going to get a good manager without a promised decent budget. A cut-price manager means we will not be giving a good budget. The poll is talking about two things that cannot happen together.

In any business the guy(s) at the top, in this instance team manager, are always the better paid, i'm good to myself. So if you want the best you pay for it, so manager for me.

For me, a manager or coach should be able to deal with the players at his disposal, improve them, find a system, or series of systems to suit, and improve the team's performances and results; at very least, if he inherits a successful and confident squad, he should be able to keep it rolling. Otherwise, there is little point in having him in the first place.

 

I think most people have had enough of Chequebook Champs, quite frankly.

While I concede that the current squad requires an overhaul, the scale of that is an unknown, until a new man works with and assesses the talent.

 

Therefore, I am inclined to say, "Hire the best manager/coach you can afford; hire one you can trust; hire one who has confidence in his skills, and his professionalism; hire one who will put the work in."

 

I am not saying that finding such a paragon is easy, but, when I think of the laziness and cynicism of a recent incumbent's tenure.......really, there is no alternative.

 

I'm not telling you how I voted. That, pal, is between me and the ballot box.

Good manager will demand and need plenty to fix this shambles

In terms of today's market Rodgers has not spent a lot.
