OverThere Posted 7 hours ago Share Posted 7 hours ago What are these boundaries I wonder? The DOF and manager need to be on the same page for sure, but EH isn't the DOF. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted 6 hours ago Share Posted 6 hours ago It's harder for a DoF to come in and make an impact when there's already a sitting manager there who they didn't choose. Does he have an input on tactics? Style of play etc? Or is he just a glorified scout or head of recruitment? Not saying it's impossible but EH won't be willing to let go of everything he currently has control over. He needs to meet them halfway for it to work.

I mean that's true, but during the hiring discussions he came in knowing exactly what the manager is and how he plays, right. It wasn't some shocking thing. I'm not clued in obviously but do DOF normally dictate style on the pitch? I will agree totally that they need to meet in the middle to make everything work but should be true of every single club in the world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago I'm just not convinced EH wants to work under a DoF. He has to if he stays but then he does have this other potential amazing opportunity if he chooses not to.. one where he wouldn't have to work under anyone. That's the crux of it. Total freedom or stay and try and manoeuvre several layers of executive dick swinging to try and achieve your goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think the "executive" swinging is necessary for the successful medium and long term future of the club. Eddie is only going to be looking at the season ahead and will want to make all decisions that might help this year, but then see the club move backwards. For example not moving Trippier and Wilson on in January is effecting transfer business now. I also think Eddie needs to be more open to scouting outside of PL experience.

Not seen too many jobs where you answer to no management unless you own the whole shop. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToonToon Posted 4 hours ago Share Posted 4 hours ago Noone person is bigger than the club. If Howe has doubts he should leave. Setting boundaries internally is fine but to come out with make me happy stuff in the media is quite dangerous. Phase 2 of our rebuild is in motion and there will be casualties. Howe may have just set the wheels in motion for him to be one of them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATB Posted 1 hour ago Share Posted 1 hour ago Several good comments. I stand on the side that I think the direction the club has taken behind the scenes is exactly the right way forward. I think last season overall was kind of a "failure" and changes are necessary to be made. I think Howe is a great coach (with flaws of course) but think he sometimes seems to see himself bigger than he is. If he doesn't like to focus more on coaching, then it's better for all parties with a chance. I think it's a given that he should be allowed to have opinions about signings etc. (I don't like the arrangement that coaches only get what is served, ala Chelsea) but it should be more advisory than demanding. Also be guided when we need to sell. Now the club really need a heavy signing for everyone to feel better! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as I feel supported means I do feel supported now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
