If the MK rumours are true, it looks like Tis is off to pastures new. I'd be fascinated to see the job description for his replacement.
In a very simplistic view there are two priorities for the new manager. 1) First team results. 2) Generating our own players that we can sell for profit.
On occasion those two priorities are going to be directly competing with each other. In a crude example, in order to give a couple of developing players first team exposure, you have to risk dropping points. My query therefore is what level of emphasis should the job description place of each element? Too much focus on immediate results could lead to a shortage of transfer income in 3-5 years. Conversely, too much focus on developing players could result in short team struggles on the pitch.
On a related point, does our model give us the opportunity to ever be anything more than a L2 Club, with the occasional foray into L1?
