Johan Lange - Sporting Director

[metalgear]

At least one of our resident transfer gurus were desperate for us to sign him

not me but i can see why - we lack a dribbler on the wings and both tel and odobert aren't ready, so an old head as a backup would work.

Anyways - Lange. We can do better. Apparently the Dortmund fans are laughing at the prospect of us getting their guy, as he isn’t exactly well regarded over there. Are any sporting directors? Do we really need them? What’s the point of having a sporting director buying players when the managers we hire play completely different styles? We’re idiots. Let the manager get his players and instead just hire managers that plays a similar style of football. Money saved on not having a crap sporting director.

we had one - paratici
and obviously levy undervalued him and stuck with him only because he was jobless and cheap

imagine if it were the other way around - paratici as sporting director and lange as consultant.

?? Sticking by Paratici caught the club negative PR, no fudging way we stuck by him "because he was cheap"

Add in, he fudging bailed the second Levy was out, while Lange stuck around should tell you where the relationships/valuations were.

Absolute crap. We ended up paying him as a consultant and Lange as the director of football, so it was costing up more.

Paratici, the guy who recommended Gattuso and Tudor as managers? No thanks

I think he just met the village idiots who were taking over
