[Albion] Do we need a Manager or Head Coach?

[Guinness Boy]

Do we need a Manager with sole responsibility for picking the side AND getting in his own players, a Head Coach under Ashworth or a Manager but who works with Recruitment, vetoing.

Recent Head Coaches - Hyypia, Garcia, Potter
Recent Managers - Hughton.

Recent Head Coaches - Hyypia, Garcia, Potter
Recent Managers - Hughton.

Well I think therein you've answered your own question, I know which of those four has been by far the most successful.

 

[The Fits]

If Potter truly is a head coach and not a manager he is really struggling on the coaching part.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Managers in charge of everything doesn’t work anymore.

We need a quality head coach like Graham Potter and an excellent Director of Football like Dan Ashworth.

We’d be really lucky to have that combination.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Certainly i wouldn't have taken any of my leadership roles without the right to hire and fire, within the law. Cant be fairly held accountable otherwise

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

We need a striker who knows where the goal is. This is all.

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

We had a great manager in Houghton and I'm certain he would have built on his success here but the club does not want a manager it has an ashworth/head coach arrangement now and i think that will be the way the club operates for many years.

 

[Dorset Seagull]

The club need to control the philosophy going forward as managers come and go. The club decide the style of play and players needed for that. The head coach has input and will probably make final decisions on the players offered up that fit the style. This is how it works at the Albion so its a head coach not a manager

 

[Bold Seagull]

Well I think therein you've answered your own question, I know which of those four has been by far the most successful.

Potter, 41 point 15th place finish?

 

[blue-shifted]

I think the present structure is fine, as long as the incumbents agree and get on with each other.

What didn't work for Poyet and Burke won't necessarily fail with Potter and Ashworth. They are both sensible people.

It wold be a big ask for Potter to be doing Ashworths job as well

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

Managers in charge of everything doesn’t work anymore.

We need a quality head coach like Graham Potter and an excellent Director of Football like Dan Ashworth.

We’d be really lucky to have that combination.

Yes it's working really well isn't it?

 

[zefarelly]

we need someone who can get a bunch of over paid millionaires to win a game of football. and ten a season. Not one a year.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Yes it's working really well isn't it?

Yes it is actually.

Playing good attractive football and creating lots of chances, achieved our highest Premier League points total yet and we're bringing through some really exciting young players including three of the most sought after in the country in White, Lamptey and Bissouma.

We're a bit of luck and a good striker away from challenging the top half.
