The head coach /  director of football division makes theoretical sense but how does it work in practice.  If a head coach decides to play in a certain way, then he will need the players to reflect this.  There's no point in the director saying I've just signed a Billy Bremner when the coach wanted a Jim Baxter.  So, who decides the style of play?

in Italy you have the Allenatore, which translate as coach, and the Direttore Sportivo which translates as Sporting Director.......Ranieri, Mourinho, Trapattoni etc. were all allenatori...

I'm sure that's true, Gerry, but who decides how the team plays?  If it's the coach, then does he say to the director I need an attacking midfielder or a holding one etc.  Get me one.  Or is it the other way round?  Here is a holding midfielder I bought for you.  Now choose tactics  to suit. 

By the way, what does the commissario tecnico in the Italian setup do?

Indeed, but as regards Betfair at least, Oddschecker is wrong. (Rowett now 3.0 on Betfair, or approx. 2/1 in conventional odds.)

I have check don the following sites just now and Sky Bet and Ladbrokes have him at 1/5, Paddy Power have him at 1/6

Odds are irrelevant to a degree as in a low betting market a relatively small bet of 500 pounds can move the odds a fair bit.

Yes, thin market and moved by relatively small sums.

But the odds make a hell of a difference if one wants to back Rowett. If he is appointed, £20 less commision won per £10 staked, compared with £2 or so per £10 with the conventional bookies.

Don't hold your breath. Veysey is not reliable.

Agree if you think its Rowett lump on at Betfair.

Is this why money has suddenly gone on Warburton?
He certainly aint leaving Rangers for us especially not as 4th choice.

[rusty shackleford]

Imagine Kit came back

How about we just fast forward to the point where Warburton turns us down, to save us having to wait until Tuesday?

Managers don't usually just leave 1 club to another, unless a ridiculous deal is agreed. Pearson wanted way too much, making it a very unlikely deal. We move on.

[rusty shackleford]

Is there anywhere us regular joes can apply? Must have a decent shout at this stage?
