  • but Mike, english clubs have never tried it for any length of time, its only now with clubs being taken over by foreign owners that this "new" way of organising a club is being given a chance.

    read this wiki and there are a couple of different types of directors of football, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Director_of_football
    and no one over here has said this is what we do, and we'll continue to do this whoever is our manager. Closest is probably the David Dein/Arsene Wenger partnership, except Dein was on the board/Chairman at Arsenal.

    I know of no other business sector which allows their core business to be managed by someone who has no interest in ensuring long term prosperity and stability.
