Oh come on.
This is Pep " Thiago oder nichts " Guardiola. "Thiago or No One".
The world's top coaches, in all sports, are fucking stubborn about who they want.

This is Pep " Thiago oder nichts " Guardiola. "Thiago or No One".

I think in some cases they can be yes, I also think that Thiago is also an outlier with his history with Pep.
My point is that with Pep his trusts the guys they have, likely because he brought them in when he came, to do the vast majority of work when it comes to transfers.

Pep and Bayern wasn't a great marriage.
Because that is definitely a club where you are there to coach the team the board gives you. But they seized the opportunity to grab Pep and try to allow their setup to learn from him. It went okay, but for nine million reasons that's not an example for us to draw much from.
According to Mark Lawrenson that's exactly how it works at Liverpool.
Klopp say what he wants, let's say for example, an attacking RB.
Scouts identify a list of 5 possibles.
Klopp then says yes or no to the list and specifies his preference
Board then try to get choice number 1
If they fail they then try choice 2 etc. until they get an attacking RB.
It's possible, we shall see. I think that they will likely be a yo-yo club, just because they are still bloody small, even with Premier League money to plug the gaps, but if they stay up and get a second year, they'll be in an amazing position regardless.
Yeah, he talked with us for a long time about taking a massive well paid job because he wanted a different one.
Makes sense.
Surely this is exactly how it happens in most, if not all clubs?
It’s just that some clubs pay less wages, spend less money so end up with 8th choice or whatever.

Yes, I'm fully aware Txiki hired Pellegrini first, because Guardiola had a job. And, as you say, a key objective was to build a Barca-style operation at Shitty.
But the medium term aim was always to hire Pep as soon as he became available.
I agree that Bayern was a bad fit for Guardiola. It was always going to blow up. And Shitty had spent the time creating a Home from Home for Pep, knowing that he would be very comfortable with Txiki as DoF.
But my core point is that the top coaches always insist on getting the players they want, and they often indirectly hire the GM/DoF (eg Belichick or Kyle Shanahan with John Lynch), to ensure this happens. Or make sure they have confidence the DoF will get the players they want (eg Pep & Txiki).
No idea, it should be though.
Our scouting is the problem not the spend.
What an absolute F**CUNT. The dude literally has put forward half dozen names, nailed on to Poch etc, and then has the gall to call others out.
JPB even said he didn’t know who the next Spurs manager would be on the athletic Tottenham podcast.
I’ve been a long time lurker and occasional poster on SC and it used to be amusing, interesting posters etc but now… These guys really love the smell of their own farts.
Sounds like a sensible system.
CEO sets the budget previous to all this, obviously, and tries to get the deal done.
Of course it only works if the scouts know what they are doing.
Mutual confidence between the manager and the DoF is the critical thing. And the backing of the club both in terms of patience and resources to get a well defined job done.
Spurs have never been anywhere close to something like that.
