Rudan was very important in bringing the core values back to the club - we lost that quite demonstratably with Darije
This is nothing about core values. Our off field organisation is poor and Rudan has helped with that. If we lose Rudan we need both a new coach and some off field leadership. That's manageable, but we need to sort both things
100% this
Nix management got lucky getting Rudan. ..............
Nix management appoint a coach and then expect them to take on the whole recruitment, publicity, media roles etc . Rudan is now Mr Phoenix. He is the face of the Phoenix....he is the go to guy that drives the recruitment, coaching, media, publicity...everything. Thats a lot of weight on one persons shoulders. Especially when the coach's primary job is sporting. Thats why if he leaves it will leave a huge, huge hole. When we had a proper footballing CEO like Pignata, he took on lots of the off field stuff.
This issue has come up quite often on the forum.There have been calls for a director of football appointment. There is probably not enough fat in the Nix budget for this extra position but IMO there would be plenty of competent football managers who could do the dual CEO/football managers role.
