Apparently for this.Why the feck is a technical director sitting on the bench?
Just because someone was at the club all those years doesn't mean they are responsible for the bad things that happened at the time. Allow people to be judged on what they do when they're in the job as long as they have the qualifications for it. A lot of times someone junior in a role replaces the senior and changes things for the better.On one side I love Fletcher as a player, the other side of me is just bewildered with the idea that he is in such a prominent position at the club with basically no experience for the role, working under a director of football who has never done that role and who has been at the club the entirety of the post Fergie debacle. Under a ceo who has never done the job before who learnt from Woodward and who has also been at the club for the post Fergie debacle.
And these are the people in charge of turning things around!! We are doomed!
why goldbridge?Love how a lot of the fans seem to think they should know exactly what Fletchers role and responsibilities are.
Have to say I absolutely despise the entitlement some of our fanbase have. The likes of Goldbridge have a lot to answer for.
Why was he ‘questioning’ someone who didn’t play or select the team?If the report is true then that fan is was well within his right to question the performance as a match going fan.
If you actually read into it you'd know the fan was shouting at the players on the pitch and Fletcher just got triggered.Why was he ‘questioning’ someone who didn’t play or select the team?
I think ETH mentioned this that apparently in German football, this is actually a thing that a sporting director sits next to the manager on the bench. Well, instead of Murtough, it’s Fletcher the one who sits next to Rangnick.Why the feck is a technical director sitting on the bench?

“Some say they don’t know where he goes, where he comes from. Sometimes they find him on the bench, sometimes behind a concession stand handing out drinks. His name is Darren Fletcher, and he lives… in the twilight zone. (music que)”Why the feck is a technical director sitting on the bench?
It's normal for Sporting director's and even their assistants to sit on the bench in Germany. Michael Zorc (DoF) and Sebastian Kehl (assistant DoF) for example sit on the bench when BvB are playing.Tweet

I’m not sure why ‘’I love German model" is relevant. People asked why Fletcher on the bench.https://metro.co.uk/2022/03/13/erik...x-boss-ready-to-take-on-man-utd-job-16265356/
"My education as a manager in top level football I had at Bayern Munich. There is hardly a better education for a coach or a manager.
‘I love the German model. In Germany it is a common thing that sporting directors sit right next to you on the bench there.
‘If you have a good sporting director, you know he takes a lot of the noise away around the manager – both internally and to the outside world.
‘He will back you up and will also take away all the hassle with football agents. That way I can fully concentrate on the team and the development of the players."

Sound like he's talking about a position that is level above Fletch's role (he was asnwering question that involved Overmars).
It's quite sneaky to cut the "I love German model" part out of that quote by whoever made those tweets, already ignoring the context.
That part relevant because even Liverpool, City, Chelsea... are not German model. Not long ago, we often heard that we're trying similar model to Liverpool with transfer committee.I’m not sure why ‘’I love German model" is relevant. People asked why Fletcher on the bench and our interim manager is German. The point is that, Fletcher is in there probably because Rangnick wants sporting director on the bench. Murtough probably doesn’t have pro license coach while Fletcher has, so Fletcher got the pick on the bench as more suitable than Murtough.
RVP?????“Who the f are you?” A paying fan, one of millions without whom a rotational player like you who realistically only had around 2 truly top seasons would be absolutely nothing without their contributions to your wages.
Anyway, what is a technical director doing next to Rangnick? Is he Ralf’s boss or the 2nd in command? What’s Chris Armas then? An absolute shambles, we don’t even have hierarchical order at the top, and people expect us to challenge for the title. Imagine him sat next to EtH and RvP next season…
He’s on the bench more recently because he’s been asked to help coach as Ralph only has 2. Not sure why people find this so difficult to understandDoes any other club have the technical/football/whatever the feck he is director on the bench?
A portion of our fans are morons who believe every bit of nonsense pumped outLove how a lot of the fans seem to think they should know exactly what Fletchers role and responsibilities are.

Exactly he’s not talking about fletchers role but people for some reason are thinking he’s doing the same job as murtough. He’s sitting there because he’s been helping coach in the interimhttps://metro.co.uk/2022/03/13/erik...x-boss-ready-to-take-on-man-utd-job-16265356/

This. Fletcher is the main villain at the moment and of course cafe experts know what does he do or doesnt. According to them he doesnt do anything and they want him out. Its not that similar situations dont happen in other clubs where ex players get involved in club jobs and start from that. Nobody asks what does Cech do at Chelsea.Love how a lot of the fans seem to think they should know exactly what Fletchers role and responsibilities are.

I remember when Ole got sacked, a bunch of people were complaining McKenna and Carrick didn't immediately follow him. Now they're complaining that Fletcher is helping with coaching.This.

And will complain if Fletcher will continue to be on the bench when Ten Hag comes. Bizarre.I remember when Ole got sacked, a bunch of people were complaining McKenna and Carrick didn't immediately follow him. Now they're complaining that Fletcher is helping with coaching.
I think he was sitting there when Carrick was in charge and then Rangnick probably assumed that's just where he always sitsWhy the feck is a technical director sitting on the bench?
Maybe JIM will answer his own question?Tweet

That is the strangest part, but all the fans are entitled cnuts?It's strange that these guys don't like accountability.
If RR was working out as a coach there is zero chance idiots like this would give Fletcher credit for the appointment and the consultancy. Everyone on the forum was ecstatic with the move. Now they have decided to parrot that it was a stupid move and a light bulb goes off ... 'must have been that damn Fletcher...'Maybe JIM will answer his own question?
We're waiting.
Madness mate, absolute madness.If RR was working out as a coach there is zero chance idiots like this would give Fletcher credit for the appointment and the consultancy.

Of course we should know. There is nothing to hide, and it's called transparency.Love how a lot of the fans seem to think they should know exactly what Fletchers role and responsibilities are.

Nah but you could question the director if he was about.Why was he ‘questioning’ someone who didn’t play or select the team?
Went to the cinema to watch morbius the other day, should I have ‘questioned’ the bloke who sold me the ticket as to why the film was so shite?
Does anyone realise that you need more than 1 person to do interviews. I used to help my old boss interview when he was country manager and I was only a manager, interviewing for people who would be above me.Tweet

Spot on. These social media influencers who peddle this nonsense have a lot to be accountable for.A portion of our fans are morons who believe every bit of nonsense pumped out
Why? Why do you need to know what role everyone plays in the club?Of course we should know. There is nothing to hide, and it's called transparency.
