What would happen if we appointed more than one manager and allotted them various games over the season?
We could assign a different manager to each cup and when they get knocked out, they lose their job!
We could divide the league matches in various ways. Someone could take all the 'big' games, someone else could take the 'lesser' teams where we're expected to win. Or maybe they could take segments of the season. Someone could do the first few games, someone else would specialise on the end of the season. No flagging there. when other teams seasons are winding down, ours in just beginning, sort of.
Obviously player recruitment would be problematic but I'm sure a consensus could be formed if all the managers attended a three or four day conference at an upmarket london hotel. The fitness of the players could be managed and maintained by another entity. Maybe a robot.
What's truly unique about this concept, and what makes it ace and top, is that our managers would be in competition with each other in real time. No more cold war between Sherwood and Villas Boas, they'd be competing side by side in our own mini-league between managers. They would compete for a greater percentage of the salary and also for a pleasant metal trophy, which could be designed by local schoolchildren, thus enriching the local community, and presented by David Lammy.
Now, someone might say that it would confuse the players, but how different is it to international football? And when all's said and done, if these players can't handle the kitchen they should watch the wire on dvd.
