There's a lot of corporate bull around I agree, but saying a Holistic Approach is not. It simply means looking at all parts of the system. i.e they want a manager that will work with the whole system, maybe alluding to the fact that they need to be watching the EDS/Kids and make sure there is a playing style throughout the age ranges that matches so people are ready to step up to the team above when needed.

I'm aware of what it's meant to mean :) I just think they would have been better saying it outright. I read holistic and instantly thought which dickhead has said that? You can see that reaction from plenty of people, it's right up there with Garry Cook's points trajectory. If they say Bobby wasn't buying into the new youth academy and was unwilling to give opportunities to young players then that would have been much better received imo.

We want someone who will get more than the sum of parts of the players, will buy into the academy side of things and not throw the board and management (let alone players) under the bus at every other press conference. I think that's a perfectly reasonable ask.

Putting Mancini on blast like that wouldn't be particularly classy.

None of it's been classy, they could at least be straight with us. That's what they mean, it's not classier because they've used a few words instead of a couple of sentences.

Absolute fucking disgrace. "Holistic approach" translated means Txiki picks the formations, the players and the manager.
Mancini refused to be his puppet and got the bullet. Now enter some sap, probably "people's person" Pelligrini who puts out the cones and is called a head coach.
Absolutely disgusted at the club.
