I’m not Woodward head and mind. To know 100% exactly the reasons of those appointment.
But logical. If i am the owner of the club. Before those appointments. If Woodward was responsible and had the last decisions of hiring and sacking the head coach. Not Moyes one which was chosen by Sir Alex.
If the Ceo is the one who evaluate the head coach. Don’t know nothing about football and the game. Then he is not qualified to evaluate the head coach. Same as a manager at a restaurant. If that manager don’t know anything about cooking. Then he is not qualified to evaluate the chef cook of the restaurant.
In this Woodward is not a football man. Don’t know how to set price on players and rating players?Logical he hire and appointed this football director. To evaluate the head coach and others clubs to contact him first. Now, Woodward trust this guy and is Woodward right hand. FD evaluate head coach decisions making like the tactical. Like line up and every decision he is making. Because you can’t sack someone without reasons. Then the reasons are the decisions the head coach is making. End up with a performance or a meal like cook chef are serving the fans and peoples at a restaurant.
And when a head coach/chef cook want a new player/a new cook assistant. Then he go to FD and manager to ask for more players and cook assistant. Hi my friend. I need new cook assistant. I need a new player. Then they discuss together. With the advice and recommendation from the scout and recruit department. But like i said. To evaluate the head coach and chef cook. You get to know the game and job equal or better. Then it’s he qualified to find players too?Football director who knows everything about the game. Evaluate the master chef at a restaurant. You get to be so qualified and good enough to find quality players. But of course the FD has only two eyes. Like us. And the world is big. Reasons he hired peoples to scout everywhere.
And about the last words on new players. Who work directly to the players and cook assistant?Who directly make the tactic, line up and game plan. Who is leading the dressing room. Knows and is closer to the players more then FD?Its not logical and naturally the head coach has the last decision on new players?If i am the owner i would definitely give the last decision to the head coach and chef cook. As a owner i hire and appoint the manager and DOF. To evaluate the head coach and contact with others. Like grocery deliver and others related areas. The head coach shall 100% focus on the pitch and the chef cook focus 100% on cooking and the kitchen. Outside the pitch and grass and kitchen. Outside the pitch and kitchen. The Dof and restaurant manager will take of it.
+ Keep it simple.
+ Lay down your ego and for the best of the fans and club. Same direction
+ Agreement of the roles and jobs in the first place. To avoid later arguing. Like decision and who is responsible
In the end. In theory everything is perfect and harmony. But in practice it is not. With ingredients of different ego, power and others things involving. Not a chance it will turn out to be harmony. The practical side. Not only with. football But life, society and world in general.
Again. I’m not 100% about the reasons. Just viewing it from the outside. Exactly why. You get to ask and interview mr.Woodward. So i can be wrong with mine reasons. But this is how personally will run my business if i am the owner of a club or restaurant. And peoples are doing it in different ways. So just mine personally thoughts, views and opinions. There are different and many paths to the top of the mountain
