Re: Bring Me Fantasia's Head.
What we don't know is the level of control he exerts over his direct reports. Some would have us believe that nobody but Fantastia had any say over list management, trading, contract negotiation, or list management. Bascially the coaching staff don't do anything other than move the players on match day, and the recruiter give advice on the best available player in type set out by the Head of Football. Obviously that's completely rediculous.
If that was the case then Fantasia needs to be fired purely for a lack of management skills. He is surrounded by people who are supposed to be experts in their designated area, why would people expect him to be the the decision maker in all things football? A good manager should have confidence in their workers and empower them to do their jobs. He may not be a good operator, and some subjective evidence suggest he's not, but the level of blame allocated on Fantasia is out of proportion.
It reminds me of when a rogue trader at a bank breaches internal controls and loses billions in unauthorised trades, the media and average shareholder demands the CEO be sacked. Do they want him sacked because he failed in his duty to prevent the event happening? No, they want him sacked because he's in charge and most people don't know anything about who is directly responsible for what.
