Ian Ayres has pretty much just said that the manager role is going to be more of a coach role. Basically a Yes Man that will just pick / train the team.
Dont read between the lines mate, everyones making assumptions left, right and centre atm and in all honestly no one really knows f*ck all outside a select few within the club, and what its resulting in is crazy scaremongering and infighting and in Thommosperms case, some kind of complete mental breakdown.
All we know at this point is that a couple of men have definitely been approached and that the club intend to speak to a few more. Any lists of potential candidates being banded about the media is pure speculation.
The owners have decided to restructure the club, this is obvious given the amount of upper executives have been ousted in the last few weeks, but again we dont know if they want one director of football, two directors of football as some are claiming, a basic coach to pick and train the team or anything else. We will find out when these positions are filled by FSG so all this "the sky is falling" melodramatic bullsh*t is doing nothing but fuelling panic that isnt warranted. Should we be apprehensive? Absolutely, given our general lack of trust in the football knowledge Henry and Werner possess and their rather coldblooded, if not totally unexpected axing of a club icon but lets not start biting on the cyanide capsules just yet until we at least know for certain what their plan of action actually is.
