Ok fair he isnt technically CEO, but he is the closest thing to it. Morrison is the chairman, not Domey. You cant just pretend roles are completely different and then use that as justification for your argument.
Anyway I stand by my question. Really risky approach by the coach, a massive gamble that backfired spectacularly and has damaged the club, higher ups are supposed to manage risk, would/should they allow such a risky approach again? That is a reasonable question for them, I don't know why you seem to be so upset about me asking it.
Edit: I will clarify. I dont think the DoF should be telling the coach midseason to change tactics necessarily. I was more envisaging a scenario where a coach goes to the DoF in preseason and says "my blueprint is this really risky approach, do you endorse it, will you allow for me to recruit specifically for it" and the DoF might say "I don't endorse this, because it is too risky and also if/when there is a change in coach in the future it is unlikely they will want to carry on such an approach". He might also say, this is not the approach of our academy teams, it doesnt fit in with the wider ethos of the club. This would be a very standard coach/DoF conversation and would not make the DoF essentially the coach.
