If Brevett is 'above' Sturrock in rank, does that mean that the no-marks performing a similar job at Premiership Clubs are above their managers in terms of status and position?

What a load of cack.

Postings on this thread mate

I think the ratio of paranoids, manic depressives  and conspiracy theorists that support Town is abnormally high.

Ask most of them if the glass is half full, or half empty, they'd probably  say half empty, then elaborate on how the other half was stolen by the board  

I think the new investors are Tibetan.................

From Sturrock's own comments, it appears pretty clear that any requests he has to make of the new investors will be mediated via Brevett and likewise, if they are as claimed largely based overseas and so using Brevett as their eyes and ears, their judgement of his performance, how he is using money for transfers, loan signings etc will be based on what Brevett tells them. Dress it up how you like, but it sounds to me like he will effectively be reporting in to Brevett. Much will depend on how they hit it off, I'd have thought, if he gets on well with Brevett, all well and good, if not, we could have a problem.

As has been said elsewhere Paul, if this turns out to be rats bollox, where does it leave the club? Is Bill still about?

Arnesen is hardly a no mark and may actually hold more sway in recruitment than Mourinho, what with his boss and him not always being best buddies.  As I understand it Arnesen has a pretty sweeping authority over recruitment of talent at Chelsea.  It's then up to Jose what he does with it.  So in some respects they do out rank the Manager, but not nec being their boss.  I'm fairly sure Arnesen has no input on team selection though.

I think the role is very distinct normally though.  The European method seperates the two roles very clearly with the DofF being in charge of recruitment and contracts etc and the Coach being in charge of selection and training.

Our one looks a little more muddled but essentially Rufus would not be his boss, but he would need to work through Rufus.  The question would simply be, who gets the best ear of the person really calling the shots.  basically, if Sturrock wants to spend outside his remit, then he has to go through Rufus to get the answer.  Rufus may have no actual authority, but his presence could complicate the issue and make it seem like he does.  Personally, I still don't get his appointment.

It dont work like that does it?

I was standing near to Sturrock at last nights game in the stand, but didn't like to go and question him about the investors through fear of upsetting him, don't suppose anyone managed to speak to him when he was walking around.

The adver has a picture today of a foreign guy with Brevett who may or may not be the mystery investor, perhaps it is time for a few people to see if Brevett is at the Ciren game and seek him out and throw a few questions at him and anyone he is with, please or offend.

WE NEED ANSWERS and he must know them

Just out of interest how do you know he's foreign. Is he holding a big sign saying "I AM A FOREIGN INVESTOR". Or does he just look a bit different?

Bill's not interested in investing in Saints, I can confirm that.
