redamaher Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 It is unrealistic that a top-flight manager would have to ask a Chairman or club owner for permission to send a coach or senior player on a $800 coaching course, and for permission to undertake that course to be denied. When managing Premier League clubs I am repeatedly denied permission to send coaches on courses either on grounds of cost (when wage budgets are $1m+/ week with gas in the tank) and on occasion because the backroom staff cannot cope with losing resource at a busy time (which is bogus and arbitrary, as some of these players aren't even on the coaching staff when denied). This feeds into a wider issue of staff head counts. Realistically, a club manager would have a staffing budget, similar the playing wage & transfer budget. The manager would then base his or her staffing around that budget, on the provision that a minimum staffing threshold is met: if he/she hires 12 or 120 in his/her backroom staff is up to the manager. As such, I recommend that staffing - wages, compensation & training - has a budget, controlled by the manager, and that additional requests are budgetary, not head-count or administrative.
