Re: BCFC: The Rollercoaster Continues

Interesting points. I think where I'd be uneasy with that in this case is that Dein is also an agent, of course - if he ceases to have involvement with the club, are the players that he represents 'his' players (philosophically speaking) or the clubs?

The other issue with that is (IMO anyway) a manager has to manage the players that he wants to be at the club. I get the point about the players being the clubs players, and it does seem logical in this era of routine hiring and firing of managers, but the idea of a manager not being able to choose his own players doesn't sit comfortably with me. Interesting points though, and perhaps that's the way the modern era is taking us. The revolving door approach to managerial appointments and sackings isn't helpful in trying to build continuity.
