It's a new and interesting step splitting responsibilities, however I'm skeptic though. Somehow reminds me of our tenure under the double managership of Evans & Houllier. Clash of personalities may be a bigger obstacle than many would possibly have thought.

I think it's very different to that.
The two managers never had completely different set tasks.
They were both in the dressing room, they both came up with tactics, they both spoke to the same member of staff, scouts, players, etc.
One guy given the task of administation (probably a businessman/accountant), and another to help player recruitment/negotiations (probably an ex-scout/manager/coach) might well work out fine.
There's a line they'll both have to cross, but shouldn't be an issue for them to perform day to day.
 
According to Ayre the manager will still have final say on signings, you never know this restructure could be good for the club...all a waiting game now but you grow tired of all the drama

Once the structure is in place lets hope we get back to football
 
Yes, we had a nice coffee table in the centre of the room, the centre piece that perhaps needed a bit of care and attention. A few decorative lamps in the corners of the room should have been purchased as points of interest to compliment and highlight the magnificence & elegance of the rooms centre piece.

One would have to wonder why he gave the coffee table to the auctioneers to be sold to a valued suitor in an expansive villa, only to then go out and buy a couple of shitty footstools from Ikea.
 
I'm kinda excited to see how this all plays out. They're no Hicks and Gillett, and seem to have some sort of business sense.
 
Rafas plusses DEFO outweigh his issues.

Lets face it;he wouldnt have spunked that sort of dollar on downing or hendo either..
 
I wouldn't be too surprised if the yanks invested some money on players by injecting into club. Henry is quite smart with the money, and i wouldn't be surprised if he saw value in spending now...

C'mon, really? I thought you would have started to appreciate Rafa's talent more in hindsight.

Especially after Roy "Keeping it simple" Hodgson.
 
I was only jesting Mia, Christ. I do, certainly since everything that's gone on since, that doesn't change what he was though, we failed to live up to the expectations we had, then. Maybe a bit of perspective was due, but we were round abouts the top four for years under Evans and Houllier and we wanted the step up. We did it in Europe and failed in the league. I do like Rafa but let's not pretend he was the messiah just because of the shit that's gone on since. Financially we've been a mess for years and that's largely through squandering cash and he was as guilty as anyone.

Yeah, I agree with you there. Let's not forget that competition for top 4 pre-2003 was completely different though.
