Rousseau 9,487 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 23 hours ago, craig said: Exactly. Depends really on how you want it to run..... for me the Manager should be telling the Sporting Director (SD) what positions he believes need strengthened, the scouts then report feasible players back to SD, who reviews them, culls them and gives a shortlist to the manager. Not dissimilar to the interview process in a regular business I went back through the thread because the arguments were becoming messy. I agree with your basic process, here - although with data analysts working closely with the DoF and scouts. I'd also want a layer of future planning, which the DoF should manage, and to be more ruthless in selling players when their peak value is reached. I don't think we've got this system implemented properly yet; we're in-between systems, which is not doing us any good, IMO. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It means we have to rebuild a team every time a manager leaves, which is not long nowadays. I think we need something more long-term, like Brentford or Salzburg, for example. Totally agree. We need a playing/recruiting philosophy like a Red Bull fill in the blank. Now that I think of it, outside of the OF, that is pretty much what the rest of Scotland do.

With no DoF any signings will be manager's signings... was that not the very thing you didn't like ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
