Liverpool have just unveiled their new 50m training facility and it has an entire department for their sporting director and his team of scouts. They have a their own conference room, office and even a secret staircase for bringing in signings out of view of the press. It'll make planning and signing players more fluid. Meanwhile we just have Ed and his phonebook of agents.
We're falling further behind
I hope United have the sense to learn from City. City did their best to buy up Barca’s DoF and related staff, and just replicate that in at City. Now I think if it, maybe that’s why Barca’s own transfers got so shit in recent years — City took their canniest operators.
We should do the same with Ajax. It’s a skint club with fading memories of glory, so a better fit for the Glazers than Barca! Get Overmars and VDS in, let them run things. Let them decide who the manager should be.
