Good to see you two as (right now-)representatives finding common ground after all. Even after the game tonight, having witnessed this thread for some time now, I think thats very cool.
On another note: I think, maybe the closeness of most of the current team to SAF and his methods might be part of the issue here. I feel, what Ole tries to achieve is getting the right players in so they can develope the understanding between each other themselves to flourish naturally. Without needing interference by the manager or some sort of instructions. This is very much the exact approach SAF had and he used to some success.
I think, "back in the days" that was more ore less what separated the great managers from the not so great ones: the ability to judge if a player is right for the team and what exactly is the teams need. This of course still applies until today, I often think of Real Madrid for some reason because I never have the feeling, that they are particularly well drilled but as the core of the team plays together for so long, they benefit from the same effects as a byproduct that a very systematic coaching approach would try to deploy.
In current times I think managers became more proactive - probably out of necessity: they tried to maximize the output from a squad even though they know they do not have the well assembled orchestra they would dream to have. This might have led to the focus on systems and therefor also the bigger awareness of such things in public. And this, to close the bow, leads us here together, knowing or alt least feeling that there are people in the business who are able to make teams become more than the sum of their individuals. Lets hope, that the new structure is able to adjust our outlook on things - I am sure, this would be very easy to sell to Woodward and the Glazers I mean, maximizing Return of Investment will be a familiar concept after all.
