Wouldn't surprise me if United approach Maresca for the Man Utd given he knows Wilcox and their CEO from his City time

Gutted. Will always remember that magical night at Grimsby.

Yep, a sad day. Amorim was doing well in making United a laughing stock.

More relevant to Chelsea, but football is going into a strange direction. Off the field executives and high power staff members yield too much power and managers (or head coaches) are becoming less and less "important." People who havent managed a team now decide the players to sign, the players to sell, get involved in what tactics to play etc. It makes no sense, and often ends in chaos.

The head coach isn't the most important person at the club like Chelsea. They have a structure similar to what we seen in NBA or NFL where the Sporting Director/head of Basketball team operations in the case of NBA teams runs the show and in charge of transfers where the head coach has an opinion but not the final say. 

Forget managers – it’s the flawed strategy of Chelsea’s owners that is the problem - The Athletic

You just repeat how certain clubs operate. Its not an opinion.

My point is that IMO its an illogical way to run a football club.

Makes no sense trying to copy off other sports.

I feel like power mad higher ups are the cause of many clubs running inefficiently. The manager should have full say on transfers and tactics and those above and around him should do what they can to assist with that.

Love our Jason cos what he did for Rovers but if anything  hes the one who should have gone....Some very very  mediocre signings and some erroneous player sales  under his tenure....Two good managers gone this week after falling prey to media entrappmemt..Could easily be Slott too but he handles what he says to the media  in  the right way..
