we basically had three major problems during the last 18 months of the GJ reign, and it could be argued that a director of football (and lets not forget this is the system which all european teams - or most - use, and no english teams are in the final 4 of the CL this year) could have solved them
1. the organisation and tactics were poor. maybe because GJ spent too much time with agents and looking for players instead of on the training pitch
2. the signings were hit and miss including some shockers. maybe GJ needed to get to the training pitch and didn't have time to do it properly
3. no youth development. a manager has his hands full with the first 2 and maybe GJ didn't have time to find them.
more teams use the system than you'd think...
i'm not convinced its the answer, but someone to help out and lighten the workload (especially for an inexperienced manager) could be ideal
