No I kind of got it, but within the point the structure of signings at Brighton seems to be above the Head Coach. Maybe he has an input with what and who he likes, but I feel the reality is Brighton and the structure works so well because they build the squad the way they always have using Data and finding the next guys before being the guys.I think you've misinterpreted my point. My point was that the structure is the structure there. It's consistent, whether the manager is a participant or not to the choices I don't know. What I do know is that all parties know where they stand and it's not flippant decisions based on opinion, it's decisions arrived at through principles.
This mostly works because they recruit Head Coaches to fit the philosophy and structure they implement. I can't be certain but I thought someone said on here once that when Paratici was appointed it was to kind of do a similar thing? We were going to let Fabio Paratici make the signings and any Head Coaches we employ would have a similar style/system to get the most out each signing rather than keep replacing players that future Head Coaches didn't want?
