How about if you don't have a manager, and you have a Head Coach instead? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a very regular poster on here when he was younger, but once his career began to take off he, naturally, had to take a step back. Thank you, I bet he would run through a brick wall, straight through a burning tree and Kelly Brook swinging naked on a villa love swing to wear our shirt and play in front of the holte end.

It doesn't mean he doesn't. It means he's not the one making phonecalls and doing the actual negotiating. I think that's pretty standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrytini Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 The seemingly endless ability some have to hear a comment, put - entirely - their own interpretation on it, then get bothered about that self same interpretation, never ceases to amaze me. Maybe, just maybe, Smith has all the input into transfers that he, and the Club, want and need... 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that a manager should have input but to move away from the constant player churn you need an overall strategy that is controlled by someone else and remains consistent regardless of who the head coach is. You just then choose coaches to fit within your overall strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Dean's comments may just mean that the process of negotiating transfers once targets are identified is dealt with by Suso and Purslow. I doubt it means he has no input into the identity of the players pursued. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he has his say. I'm pretty sure he's said as much. But that doesn't mean he's an "I'll control everything" type of MON manager. This system seemed to work well enough at Brentford for him.

Farlz Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 While Bowen would've been a fantastic signing, we were never going to spend whatever Hull wanted. If we went down it would kill us. Great bit of business for Palace though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah it's far more likely that some random 15 year old kid using a fans forum knows what's going on and we should all be freaking out accordingly.........
