Every other team in England seems to be working with a similar structure and a lot more are doing better than us 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the expectation is a cop out....paradoxically it should actually be the driving force behind our performaces......players of the past like, alan evans, andy gray, peter withe, shaun teale.....thrived on expectation. whatever is wrong at villa.....the fans it is not.....its about the one thing, that is right.

Back in the days of Graham Taylor he had assistants coaches and scouts - but he was very much head honcho. To me we have been very poor in selecting managers - so the chances of us selecting a good TD a good head coach - and them getting along -and complimenting each other is slim TBH. Move heaven and earth and get a top class manager in everything else will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Move heaven and earth and get a top class manager in everything else will follow. The DOF sets the whole long term footballing strategy and this goes way beyond the managerial appointments. With the rise of technology and data analysis the role of a DOF in the modern game is no longer a luxury, but an essential, integral element. For example, player recruitment is by committee consisting of the DOF, manager, scouts and data analysts. Sports science is the same (DOF, manager, coaches, data analysts, physios, nutritionists etc). The days of one man controlling all aspects of the club are gone and if clubs don't start using this modern approach then they will get left behind. Villa is in danger of falling back, with the likes of Leicester, Southampton, Wolves and even Brentford embracing modern methods and reaping the benefits of it. To use a mobile phone comparison, Villa is the Nokia 3210 while other clubs are iPhones. We need to get smart and do so ASAP if we are going to have any chance of competing at a high level again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
