Growing the brand, generating revenues other than sales, TV or league's/championship's money. Investing in the long term, ie, facilities, young development & recruitment. I'd say that sums it up. I’d say most of those “jobs” aren’t the responsibility of the owner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may set budgets and transfer budgets but they probably won’t be signing off on most players (unless they’ve got a sketchy past, I imagine).

They do, a manager may ask a player, but if the owner doesn't approve it ain't happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storts Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 There's too different questions here - it's the chairman that does most of this, not the Owner - although in some cases they are the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vegan Kel Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Best chairman = Daniel Levy Worst owner = Mike Ashley I'd love to be able to say the Glazers but Mike Ashley is hated by non-Newcastle fans for what he's done to that club. An absolute disgrace. Daniel Levy is the don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly but Levy thinks long term and he knows that the money from their new stadium will enable them to compete at a higher level than they've been able to until now. I also think that Spurs have one of the best squads in the league regardless and one of the best managers too. He has faith in their youth players and has the mentality to coach and improve players rather than just get the chequebook out. I'd gladly swap Spurs' chairman, manager and players for United's. I do think that they should probably have kicked on a level and maybe won a trophy by now perhaps but that is maybe something to expect more realistically once they're settled into their new ground and maybe add one or two new faces as well as the likes of Winks, Walker-Peters and Onomah into the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Speaking of Chairmen, Gourlay was pretty good during his tenure at Chelsea. I have fucking no clue what the Chelsea heirarchy actually do because they seem to obfuscate much of their jobs, but towards the end if his tenure the club had seemingly built a good team for the future. Hazard, Azpilicueta, Luiz, Lukaku, Courtois, Mata, de Bruyne, Romeu, Oscar, Moses, Sturridge, yadda, yadda... and we know how it turned out as three players remain. Who knows what Abramovic does, and the when the last time he personally spent money on the coub. Mysterious man, I do suppose that comes with the territory of being a mobster and tenuously on the brink of Putin's wrath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
