There are plenty of managers with inflated opinions of themselves and their achievements and as for leaving everything to the manager, please no.
Football managers and their apologists in the media have successfully built up this concept that only "football people" understand the game but there is little evidence to support this. After all the extension of this would be to suggest that good players make good managers and we all know that is not true.
However, the myth persists.

Only on vhs tape! And for what its worth the current manu are going to get a lesson from Bayern ironically on April fools day.
Daft question to ask him but how annoyed did he look haha as if Liverpool need any validation from a (soon to be) championship team manager.

When it comes to footballing decisions within a football club that should be left to footballing people and not businessmen
Perfect example is Abramovich spending £30mil on Shevchenko - that was his buy not Maureen's
He isn't the first and won't be the last.
Not really sure what you are talking about in regards the media and football people ?!

"Not really sure...."
Just re-read your own first paragraph. Whilst I would agree that the input from "football people" would be invaluable to solely rely upon that input would, in my opinion, be folly.
After all was it not Dalgleish rather than Gillett etc; who signed Carroll?

Well it was Comolli that signed Carroll and Gillette had left the club a good couple of months before that
But Comolli also signed Suarez and signed Henderson so as with other footballing people has a mix of good and bad.
Would you like to see businessmen make footballing desicions ? Or would you rather those choices be made by people with the experience and background in the game.

Its getting a bit boring now dont you think - the tit for tat ? why make your initial comment ? what was the purpose in it - it offered nothing . Its not being sensitive - its just boredom from little comments like that from yourself which add nothing.
Apologies for moving the thread of topic - please mods feel free to delete the off topic comments in recent posts if you so wish :thup:

As I said neither the businessmen nor the football people are infallible. Both groups are capable of making mistakes and, thus, I would never rely upon either to the total exclusion of the other.

No one is infallible in any line of work but you surely have to ensure the odds are at their best for success
I wouldnt allow a footballer to make a business choice or a manager to make a business choice
Just as i wouldnt want a businessmen to make a football choice - especially a businessman who has no experience or background in the game - its why the successful ones employ a DoF to bridge that gap.
Im not happy with have Ian Ayre doing our players deals - he is a businessman who has excelled in bringing in sponsership to the club but as a person doing players deals he has been found wanting - badly. That where people like Dein and Edwards and for us Robinson in the past excelled - they had a knowledge of the game when do the business side of it also

I think its an unprofessional answer , ok maybe the question should not have been asked at that time , but you have to be professional , it was not as insulting or demeaning question in any way ,
everyone in football is discussing who's going to win , who is going to stay up etc , ex man utd player he may be but EX & PLAYER are the appropriate terms , he is now a manager and he is going to be asked questions he may not like but he should be able to at least act professionaly
