Learn to walk away from an overly high asking price, learn to say no to the manager, learn to prioritise urgent positions more than others.I am not sure what a competent Director of Football (DoF) would do. My experience with trade negotiations is limited to swapping a "Dark Charizard" card for a "Moltres" and "Articuno".
He's quite clearly a yes man, he's rolled over and spread his cheeks on many occasions now. Starting with renewing Phelan's contract after a shocking, sackable managerial performance in the Europa League final, spending the budget on Sancho instead of a defensive midfielder, carrying through with spending 80-90 million on Antony instead of walking away and buying a much needed striker with the money instead, and now paying 55 million on an out of form player with a year left on his contract, 5 million more than his public take it or leave it offer, still leaving a obvious hole in midfield that now urgently needs the Mount money to find a replacement. It's embarrassingly bad.
