career ending
Was listening to an Athletic podcast this morning where the structure of United was addressed and how SAF was actually a European style DOF.
He oversaw and made final decisions on recruitment, contracts, player management, style and direction of the team. He also hired assistant managers and coaches to do the heavy lifting for him and drill the players in practice, meaning he had time to step back and view the big picture, something he talks about often in his biographies. Would also explain the rate at which we went through assistant managers, SAF liked to keep things fresh for the players, stating that they would get bored with hearing the same voices in the changing room year in year out.
Is this perhaps what we're missing now? Is the reason we're not appointing a DOF because Solskjaer is trying to assume SAF's former structural position? If so, would appointing some quality coaches be what we need to start seeing a big difference on the pitch? Thoughts?
