Everyone needs to leave Dortmund alone! I am serious! Leave them alone!

They won't have a team by next season at this rate.

It's pretty simple, no? A good coach might be a complete idiot when it comes to transfer/finance/picking players. They might completely ignore what their scouts are saying/assess players badly/ignore the wider interests of the team/etc. At the end of the day, they could be utterly retarded... but just good at coaching/motivating/etc.

Would you want to give a £100m transfer kitty to a retard? Especially when that also incurs a wage liability of a further £85m (five players on £80k/week for five years).

I have no idea why people see the word manager and think every single one is equal, as with any manager a HUGE part of their job is delegation and as with most managers in the world, the level of delegation is almost entirely up to them within a budget. One manager hires 10 coaches, does no coaching themselves and has 2 less players to pay for it, a different manager hires an assistant, a couple coaches, does loads of individual coaching themselves and has more cash for a couple of players, or simply saves a bit of money.

A lot of top tier managers do not do an awful lot of individual coaching, there is a reason most top teams have first team coaches, assistant managers, defensive/gk/attacking coaches, fitness coaches. Yet some managers have only 1-2 coaches and take multiple sessions themselves.

Different managers have different strengths yet fans randomly act like if manager A makes signings, manager B should be able to, where is the logic there, has no one at work come across two different managers good at different things?

At no workplace have I found equally skilled managers in all areas, why would this be different in football. Think of it as simply as this, Wenger is supposed to be a bit of a dictator, taking training sessions, being heavily involved, more than a lot of other managers, now tell me where he gets time to watch game footage, both Arsenal's previous games to look for improvement, and whoever they are playing against, THEN when he gets time to watch a dozen or more full games for targets that are scouted.

A scout might easily see a couple hundred players, well more than that as you'll get a look at 21 other players whenever you go to see a single player anyway. Then you watch another bunch of games IF that player does look interesting, then you'll get match footage and watch as much as possible, its not feasable for a manager to watch as much footage on every player a scout does, because a manager has craploads of other things to do. A manager will almost certainly not know or see as much about a potential signing as a scout. A director who has far less day to day work to do at a club will likely have far far more time to take a close look at a new signing, with a scout hopefully slimming down the list of potentials significantly.

This is aside from this fantasy notion that an owner gets a manager then gives up all control to a manager. One owner wants nothing to do with the club and employs a manager he hopes will run every single last thing, down to the last penny spent, another owner wants to be heavily involved and employs a head coach, and there are owners that want a different level of involvement between the two extremes. So what, its their club, its like any other business, there is no defined managers job title where a manager can expect A, B and C but not D, E and F. LIke any other job in the world, its specific and you apply for it. If you want to have full control of transfers, and apply for a job at a club that doesn't offer it, complaining later on that you don't have full control of transfers is nothing short of the managers own fault.

What I can't stand is fans who make grand proclaimations about a owner who gets involved "more than he should" because a fan has decided what he should and shouldn't be allowed to do with his own damned club. Likewise managers who take a job knowing the situation then later on complain about said situation do my head in.

The most important question is, which of you last went into a job interview and told the employer what your job would entail, or demanded they delegate all the parts of the job you want, and none of the parts of the job you don't want? Employer says what the job is, as an employee you either decide you want the job or decide its not the job you want, taking it then being upset and complaining its not the job you really want, is pathetic.
