While some clubs were able to make this former players thing work all of them had 2 things in commonI don’t know what he’s trying to say but fletchers job description has been posted multiple times so I don’t get why you keep on the narrative that’s he’s to blame like murtough etc. fletchers main role is to make sure that there’s a pathway for kids to the first team squad, a job he’s done well. As ragnick has very little coaching staff he was also asked to coach for the first team. What’s so difficult to understand?
Just because he played for the club before it doesn’t necessarily equal bad. Other teams have made a thing out of getting old players involved for good reason.
a- they already had a successful football structure in place.
b- they have a solid track record of developing football people into managers, coaches etc
c- these clubs tend to be very cynical as well. For example Juventus fired Ferrara in matter of months.
We lack on all fronts. We are very sentimental, we had never produced 1 manager capable of winning a league title in decades and our football structure borders to a parody. Its the same football structure btw who gave a former player with barely any coaching experience a quick path to technical director btw. Which, in my opinion, seriously dent Fletcher's credentials even further. I mean name me one person whose so good that he starts as U16 coach in October and ends up technical director by March. That stinks high time of nepotism.
