obviously a manager would have a say in the kind of players he want -- a list of names perhaps. it's his playing system after all, can't have the mismatch of players we have now who don't fit any system we're attempting to play. it just won't be his job to acquire them and determine what a good price is, just like it is on the continent (it seems to work for them, they kinda have superior teams to us). the manager is responsible for the training ground and match day.
i also want the physios to be responsible for their area and held accountable. so if a player is in the red, he doesn't play, manager wants him to play, too bad he can't. that way when shit goes wrong it's easy to isolate who the fuck ups are. right now wenger can play a player in the red and then have his fan boys blame our shitty medical staff.
