EPL Managers
The latest news is that West Ham’s manager Alan Curbishly has quit the club amidst the hoohahs of transfers. Wasn’t it yesterday that Newcastle fans were demonstrating their support for Kevin Keegan at St James’ Park but he is still around (at least a couple of days?).
I think some of these English clubs suffer from management crisis – not so much that the managers can’t manage the players but the owners or board can’t manage. They are there because they fulfill the “the Golden Rule” – he who has the gold-rules! I suppose the only manager who counts himself blessed is Arsenal’s Arsene Wenger because the board supports his viison and conviction. though critics might argue that major trophies eluded them recently, none can argue about the quality of players he has thus far.
Managers ought to be left with autonomy regarding players managed and wanted on transfer lists. Either tell them there is no money or let them decide rather than micromanaging them.
Just a thought.
