NFR :Uwe Rösler: ‘English football is fantastic. But you have a dark side'

[Snibbo]

 Worth a read. Thoughtful bloke


  "I think stability in English football is key and that comes with [having] people between the owners and the coaches," Rösler says. "I'm a big fan of the role of the sporting director or the director of football.?..... There must be absolute chemistry between those two positions, to build the short-, medium- and long-term future for the club. When you don't have that person in between, the coach is just firefighting. So in England, in the Championship, you see good people, good coaches, losing their jobs. And that happens in other countries nowhere near as much. When you look at, say, Serie B or the second Bundesliga, before the season there are three or four clubs who have realistic things in place to go up. In the Championship, apart from six clubs, everyone says: 'We want to go into the play-offs, we want to win promotion.' And it's completely unrealistic.
