What exactly is the role of manager, coach and trainers. I’ve never really understood this. I have this picture in my mind of a man in a suit behind a desk, a man with a baton pointing at a blackboard with arrows pointing in all directions on it, and a man with a crewcut in a tracksuit making the players run up and down the terraces.
People say Cottrill is a good coach but a rubbish manager.
Is he just snowed under with electricity bills and laundry invoices?
