Summerdeep Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Royle's the 'CEO' isn't he? Could that be part of the problem? Until a few years ago, this was a Wall Street term that applied to American corporations. In the UK, even the largest companies just had a humble 'Managing Director', and professional football clubs didn't even have (or presumably need) one of those. What's all this 'recruitment' business anyway? Why can't the manager be in charge of signing players, subject to the board's approval and the money being available? Presumably I'm stuck in a past era, as usual, but that's how I feel. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summerdeep Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 I'm assuming that more people than just the manager are involved, that's the way it often sounds, and Royle is frequently slated on here for the poor recruitment record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like many others were for ages with Unsworth, I think we should stick with him, but wouldn't be arsed if he left...

I think we look as bad as we did under unsworth. I see zero difference agree but u hit nail on head as he’s shown he can sort it where unsworth had nothing behind him. I’ve been disappointed he’s not worked out that the lack of balance and width has been an issue and the lack of forward ideas as a result cause naff footy. Thought he would have addressed it tactically but he hasn’t and I’m disappointed as I thought he’d be tactically on it and now m not sure. His records elsewhere is good so let’s give him time to sort it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
