Coach vs Manager

[KingCanny]

We have always had managers then after Klopp we went with a coach. Is that our problem?Do Edwards & Hughes have the say over transfers & Slot is the yes man that Klopp refused to be? I'm not saying that's our issue but the structure of the club seems to have changed & it seems very similar to the season we ended up with no cbs

It’s not the problem. It’s proper practice to have a structure and style that we adhere to playing across multiple managers to keep continuity when shit hits the fan. Problem is we’ve went from the best manager/ coach in football to a normal coach and we are suffering now because he’s got no answers. The alternative to this system is a United style buy loads of players for a particular style of play and when he can’t hit high 80 or maybe mid 90 points for a few seasons in a row sack him and have to start all over again. A hreat manager can make a decent side from a number of different styles of player imo. Playing to their strengths being the most important element and being able to work your system while also empowering them to play to thee strengths being the zenith of coaching. You don’t find that shit too often.

It's part of the problem. Player recruitment is a massive part to get right. If manager/coach and the upper structure aren't on the same page it all breaks down. Look at chiesa, never gets a look in. Do we really believe Slot wanted him?

Does anyone think Slot didn't want a cb this summer? I mean, it was the standout position with konates contract situation. Yet no cb arrived.

Unless all parties are on the same page this system will break down.
