If Van Gaal comes into the club, or any other Strongarm leader, Marotta won't be the one with the final sayso on signings and sales...Its one of the reasons I like the idea of having a foreign coach with a reputation for winning AND fierce discipline in the ranks.
I brought this up elsewhere, but hardly anyone was interested...do you blame marotta for ALL our signings and sales? or Delneri? Who chose martinez??? he is the best example of a dangerous and damaging disconnection between Team Manager and Transfer Manager...delneri is noted for his tactical intelligence, yet one of two things happened with Martinez:
1. Marotta simply signed him, made the decision, didnt even consult delneri to ask 'will he fit????'...just signed him and told delneri afterwards.
2. Marotta suggested him to delneri, who failed to see that a wide forward was not a traditional hard working, touchline hugging winger. In fact both of them failed to see that.
a manager like delneri, seems a decent guy, honourable, warm heart...the very last kinda man we need to lead a team lacking leadership and zeal. Can you see van gaal, saying one week that 'diego is part of my plans', then seeing diego sold a week later?? I cannot. Its an awful way to run a club, unless, the transfer manager is exztremely talented, well connected with huge $ to spend. Even then, it makes life much harder for the team manager.
my greatest concern with our setup is that marotta not only has ALL control over signings and sales, but perhaps doesn't even consult delneri on such matters...which is madness and a recipe for disaster.
