Holistic approach

[dctid]

Made me cringe a bit that, total management speak, what does that actually mean?

I think it means bring more of your own players through (like Barca) and not rely so much on several 20 plus million pound signings every summer

Look at Barca or Ajax they could be deemed as having a holistic approach on so much as all their teams be they u10 through to the first team are all taught to play the same style

Also think it refers to his management stlye

Personally hate the fucking word

I think what Txiki wants more is consistency through out the club all the way through the youth teams as far as playing style goes, doesn't necessarily have to be 4-3-3.

Fucking "Holistic approach"!!!

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.

You again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I doubt the rumours about playing 433 are true. The are ridiculous and the link is only being made because Barcelona play it. Any idiot can see a manager is in charge of the team and tactics not the board.

Any idiot can see the manager should be in charge of tactics and not the board.

I think the level of Txiki's power and influence over all aspects of football at the club is far beyond anything we have seen before from a Director of Football in England.

Yup but in Europe the director of football is all powerful

essentially the director of football sets the footballing style and then picks managers to suit

That is where we are

You`ve done fuck all but moan for days,starting thread after thread,basically with the same content of slagging off any fucker within the club apart from Mancini.

So Guardiola was a puppet at Barca then ?

Everyone has seen them slip from admittedly their own lofty standards not just due to Guardiola leaving.


It is simply a different way of running a first team squad.
Soriano and Berigistain will look at all aspects and what was needed to effect the next few years of advancement, which leads me nicely to my my next point...

Regarding your post about Mancini not wanting to be the puppet of Berigistain.
They had no issue from what we all know.
When Mancini had a go at stuff not being done as good as he wanted in december that pissed of the Sheikh a bit.
Come to January and Berigistain or Soriano pictured talking to Pelligrini's agent in Spain, coincidence ?

Basically it was an amalgamation of issues not Mancini refusing to be a 'puppet'.
If it had of been an issue for Mancini he would have quit the second he knew about the hiring of these chaps as he is a proud man.


Continue to be disgusted at assumptions though if you must.

Never tried and never worked in England. Clubs with DoF have imploded, only Chelsea have kept the structure, is not in English football culture to do this. Watch the press, referees, players, opposition and the club chew both Pelle and Txiki up and spit them out.

Why has Ferguson been so successful. He is complete and sole authority at United. Everyone was scared of him.

If Khaldoon wants to be successful in England he needs to follow English rules. He was better off buying a club in Spain if he wanted this..
