Generally, manager can not blame poor result on dof, he however can drop non-performers thus dof would take note. The question is the club needs to have clear cut philosophy on team play as certain tactic fits certain players. Lyon is a good example, dof brings in players to fit in their attacking tactic, etc, whoever the manager is, has to adhere to the philosophy. Hope Roy's philosophy of team play is no what nesv aspires to, thus that kind of players nesv will bring in. So from this we can deduce that either Roy has to go or adhere to nesv new direction, presumed philosophy of Liverpool way in team play. One advantage, low playing staffs turnover would be expected whenever there is new manager hired.Kennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-89039645976993433932010-11-04T08:03:55.215-04:002010-11-04T08:03:55.215-04:00The examples of Sir Alex and Wenger are exceptions...The examples of Sir Alex and Wenger are exceptions that prove just how difficult it is to sustain excellence over a prolonged period with 1 man calling the shots. They have been the backbone and deserve credit.<br /><br />I entirely support what NESV is trying to accomplish - they want a full system that works year in and year out that does not rely on expensive annual transfers, but rather builds from within. <br /><br />I think we all know that Hodgson will not single-handedly restore the Spirit of Shankly and supplant Wenger and Ferguson atop the list of great Premiership managers. He may well be perfectly suited to preparing teams to perform on the pitch, however, and this is a far more rational expectation.<br /><br />Our squad will not turn around over night - but these actions give me hope.<br />YNWAThe Commishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04579874467224341884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33779660.post-9971252764917718972010-11-03T20:34:35.554-04:002010-11-03T20:34:35.554-04:00I can't agree 100% with the book soccernomics,...I can't agree 100% with the book soccernomics, mainly on the statistics part because I believe there are many ways to perceive statistics differently depending on how you want to twist it.<br /><br />however, there are a lot of interesting points such as case studies of Lyon and Arsenal.

They may try to follow the Arsenal model but if during that time, City and Tottenham are established and can offer Champions league football, the best players will naturally gravitate towards them. That includes the young "rising" stars of Liverpool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
