One things for sure, Rafa doesnt exactly get a move on does he?
Once again in the modern game its down to the CEO to conclude transfers not the manager, the last top flight manager to be able to handle money was David O'leary, it is now fully the domain of the CEO. I dare say Rafa is just as p!ssed off with this situation as we are, why do you thing they dont get on, because Parry cant deliver his targets. From what i understand Rafa gets to be more involved when dealing with spanish clubs, so its no supprise those deals seem to be done over night.
Since you've stirred me up and I've got nobody else to argue with, I noticed this one too. Are we to assume that rafa just says "buy Barry" and Parry goes off and does the business.
He then comes back and says, "got him boss, 25 million" and Rafa has no say in how much we bid? Rafa goes "feck me i thought he was only worth ten".
Is it actually Parry we should be congratulating for buying Torres for what now looks like a bargain price, ditto Crouch, Sissoko and Alonso? Or by "does the negotiating" do you mean he goes in the room and actually signs the forms?
My suspicion is that Rafa is actually given a budget, and is then told that any extra revenue will have to raised in transfer sales. From there he wheels and deals, tries to buy a wee bit cheaper, sell a wee bit dearer and pay a slighly smaller salary and signing on fee. There will be a budget for overall player wages per financial year, and no doubt the accountant keeps him up to speed as to how much he has saved by knocking for instance Crouch off the wage bill. He will no doubt then meet with the Chief Executive and then board will meet periodically to discuss where we are. They'll do swerves where they don't pay up front for a player but in installments, calculated to the nth degree to take into account potential interest rate fluctuations.
I'm sure it's all quite complicated once you go into it.
Ive explained it more or less how Barry Silkman explained how deals are done in the modern game, its up to Parry to work within Rafa's budget and conclude transfers, when it comes to spain Rafa no dout has a bigger part to play but when it comes to finishing the deal and sorting personal terms its down to the CEO. How do you think managerless chelsea managed to bring in Bosingwa (sp?). Im only passing on info ive learned so argue with your self mate, take it leave it i couldnt care less.
....... this is getting frustating man
