It's a difficult thing to evaluate.
A great manager/coach can get a team to punch well above its weight, and will help elevate the value of players beyond their own capabilities. But there's a few issues :
A great manager/coach can get a team to punch well above its weight, and will help elevate the value of players beyond their own capabilities. But there's a few issues :
- Most managers move on with a sacking - a sacking involves paying the manager off to leave his job. Most players move on via transfers - so you actually gain some money for them.
- Once you decide a player is not good enough for your first team, they may still be valuable as a squad player. What do you do with a manager who's not good enough? Can you force him to manage your reserves? Can we force him to continue as an assistant?
- If a player wants to leave, you may hold them true to their contract. And you have a few things in your favour - appearance fees, transfer windows, international careers means that a player has to buck up their ideas and still make themselves available to play. Unless your Carlos tevez.
- You can't hold a manager true to his contract. If your manager wants to leave and publicly states this, you're fecked. Do you go in to the next season hoping the guy gets his ideas right? Will the team continue to respond to a coach who has stated he doesn't want to be there?
