I've said a few times before that we needed another footballing man to assist.
At the club, we only have MH and his assistants who have real footballing experience and no-one to objectively interface with the board on team performances and the management of the players.
The board, I'm sure by their own admission, have very little footballing knowledge and must've felt frustrated by this when needing reassurances that MH is heading in the right direction even during the wobbles we have been experiencing.
Of course, this could also mean that the board now have a commercially savvy footballing man to cast doubt on the current management team........let's hope not.
Yes, the board can call on the "advice" of the so called experts out there and the Kingmaker Joorabchian types, but none of these folks are on the City payroll and therefore cannot be viewed as having the clubs best interests at heart, let alone providing an objective balanced opinion.
The appointment looks a good one to me.....why? The guy cannot be accused of having an agenda to take over from Hughes nor is he able to even if the board wanted him to - look at the disharmony created by the appointments of Avram Grant at Chelsea and Dennis Wise at Newcastle. He has vast experience of the English game but has earned his plaudits for his commercial ability too.
Good luck Mr Marwood.
