I know that but plenty on here think the coach should have 100% control.Warrior Glyn posted:

Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
This is great news in my opinion.
So we have gone from "Give Nobby full control" to "Its great the chairman is involved with player recruitment" !! ??

No coach is the game has 100% control, and if you think any different you are way off base.
A lot of posters have said Nobby should do the recruitment without realising this is not how it can ever happen.
It was also used as a stick to beat Mo up with. Now it appears the new man will be as involved as Mo ever was I am interested to know what the people who think Nobby should so it all have to say about that.
I accept Mo has mismanaged the salary cap but I do not believe he simply went out and signed players without consulting the coach.What a sensible chairman will do, is evaluate the coaches wish list and the nnegotiate the contracts, this will ensure that the coach has a full and balanced squad to choose from. What ML did was pick the wish list himself and spend all the salary cap (and more) on a few misfits with no input from the coach.
In the past there was an element of this where Mo went for Botica when Monie wanted Phil Blake back for example but even then Monie made his views known but had to abide by the chairmans decsion. In reality that sort of decision is little different than a coach saying I want one of player x,y or z and the chairman deciding on z on behalf of the coach (for money reaosns or whatever).
I think its far more similar than many people want to admit.It will be a completely different situation now.
