They have take a more hands on approach at the club going forward or employ someone who can run the club for them. In their absence the season has been nothing short of a shambles. Maybe they have bitten off more than they can chew.
Juan, we keep saying this don't we and again nothing changes. At least if the manager buys players that see us improve, however much he gets to spend, at least the football is partly taking care of itself. The club as an entity is a long way from where it needs to be, personnel wise.
Hopefully we'll see that (or at least some of it) addressed this Summer.
They can only take a back seat as they have no knowledge of football as a sport, the subtle differences that the PL has from other leagues, the politics of domestic and European football or any aspect whatsoever of Assoc. Football.
They need to appoint people who have. The Glazers take an absentee approach but they have the luxury of having a great set of people running every aspect of the club. FSG don't.
How they manage to be able to judge what is needed and who is fit and capable of filling those identified roles, is something I struggle to see. How would we apply ourselves in this situation to baseball? Do any of us know the first thing about the sport, I know I don't.
We'll all be supporting the club next season, whoever the manager is. We'll enjoy the victories, mull over the defeats or failures to win, discuss team selections, transfers in and out, and ride the roller coaster we've always ridden since most of us can remember.
If Kenny's manager so be it. We'll have all the same emotions, to the same levels, heights and depths we've always had and we'll be just as desperate for him to succeed as we would be for any other manager, more so.
Part of the disappointment is that it's him who's failed. We want the dream. We want our legend to be the one who turns things around and sees us back there challenging to get back in the CL. Then establishing ourselves once again as a top four team. Then going on to challenge for the league. Then winning it etc.
It's hard to have to admit that I don't think he's up to it. But I can only see the club. That's all that matters. Some individuals we may also get attached to above them merely being a part of the whole, but that emotion for an individual can never be greater than that for the club.
Damn this drug called football.
