It's weird to me that a bunch of blokes who've been playing football from the age of 13 and never been exposed to any high functioning corporate environment are trusted with hundred's of millions of pounds (Edu and Arteta I am looking at you two asshats).
I think football clubs would be better placed filling all positions not related directly to coaching and scouting with people who have operated in environments where they are exposed to concepts related to strategy, finance, accounting, economics etc.
I have watched enough football based documentaries to know that "football" people do not hold any sort of special knowledge about the game. They are generally walking, talking clichés so giving them so much power over the affairs of football clubs seems highly misguided to me.
