Who manages the manager?
Written by waynekerr55 on Thursday, 6th Feb 2014 06:30

In business - a scenario!

Training allegedly a shambles. A lack of preparation. People unhappy. Imagine that you are a senior manager at a multi million pound company. Would things be allowed to get that bad?

But football is no ordinary business I hear you scream!

Whether we like it or not, and as a 32 year old I'm old enough to remember that football did exist before 1992 (despite what Sky and young upstarts will have you believe) football has changed forever. Swansea City AFC is a multi million pound business (as are all other Premier League clubs) and as such as stakeholders and shareholders (trust members) we do have a right to pose constructive questions as to how the management of the first team went so drastically wrong

Sporting directors - could they work?

Now there are always quite strong opinions (mainly negative in my opinion) that directors of football/sporting directors are more trouble than they are worth. However, I pose a question - could sporting directors with a clearly defined set of roles and responsibilities help to "performance manage" and "appraise" head coaches/managers? Could they conduct observations of training sessions? Could they check that there is a clear schedule in place? Could they quality assure the work of sport "scientists" (I use inverted commas as regulars on here will know my opinions about what has gone on from supposedly qualified persons who no longer are employed)?

Any proof that this proof can or has worked?

Of course, there will many ifs, buts and maybes and inconsistencies that would need ironing out, but if people have effective working relationships, then surely this will ensure that there is someone who is there full time to manage the manager, rather than board members who have other tasks to complete and maybe do not have the expertise needed to ensure effective management of the squads of first teams around the country
