Oddly Maureen fits both those categories. :lolol:
I think the key bit of your post is 'on their own'.
Yes, you need a full team - owner, CEO, physio coaching team, decent players and a fair wind.
With all that, a good manager may achieve what bad one never will, and on average will do better...
Bloom probably hadn't told RDZ how much money he was prepared to spend in the summer. Judging by the reports of his latest presser which, (for those who are not keeping up) was free of veiled threats, Bloom has now told him.
And what we do not want, now, is months of speculation in the media...
Here is the big secret that seems to have been missed.
Because Tony Bloom is a genius and can keep his gob shut, even to the point of keeping the volatile (but lovely) manager in the dark.....
We are cash rich.
Lots of clubs are now under FFP scrutiny.
They will have to sell in the summer...

When you have finished baiting @Guinness Boy......you had time to send me an arsey PM today, though. Please don't. If you have something to say to me, put it on the main forum. Thanks.
This thread has descended into hilarity. People are making fierce condemnatory criticism of the standpoint of people whose standpoint has not, as far as I am aware, been disclosed. It's Baa Baa Black Sheep all over again.
So, again, may I request that the full transcript of the offending...
Probably time someone posted a verbatim text of the offending interview.

Now (and Talkshite appears to be reiterating what that paragon of insight and probity, Chris Sutton, was saying yesterday) it seems that in that...
I have discussed Potter with GB on NSC and occasionally in real life. I, likewise, apologise if I'm wrong (and I, too, often am) but I don't recall detecting him having an anti-Potter agenda, if I can put it that way. Like all of us, including me, I am sure GB made negative comments about Potter...
I didn't get any sense of that in what @Guinness Boy wrote. He neither denigrated Potter not 'bigged up' RDZ.
I don't entirely agree with GB's narrative, mind.
Regarding Potter, man does good job, man gets big job offer. Man takes big job.
Regarding RDZ, man does good job, man apparently...
