[St Charles Owl]

I've (not) played under a coach who I didn't see eye to eye with and it's not nice. I'm not arguing with the committee theory but the bloke who picks the team must want to have the player or he won't get played or he will be played out of position so the coach can say "I told you so" to the committee.

The way it works at Barcelona & Ajax is that if the HC doesn't use correctly the players selected by the Committee then the HC is sacked.

The primary job of the HC is to get the best from the players selected & if he cannot do that then he is disposable.

Which is all good and well as long as the committee is sufficiently skilled and knowledgeable itself to make these sort of decisions.  I think in our current situation the HC needs to be a loud and important voice within the committee itself, but I would be all for them including other football experienced members on the committee as time goes by either in a full time or advisory capacity.
