Conventional manager isn't the answer, if that doesn't work you are back to a rebuild time after time. People need to except that the head coach is not only here to stay, but every where else in the world has pretty much had that sporting director club set up since about 1962, managers more often than not have proved they aren't experts at that multi faceted role, people champion someone like SAF as this however one of his greatest strengths of his total control was delegation and independence of those underneath him to act upon his overall plan.
We are the ones that need to change, we haven't got it right with the first time but overall from the last few seasons we have somewhat. I am not wanting to go back to the likes of a McCarthy where his style and player approach is totally at odds to the youth team to the extent it was virtually pointless having one at the time.
