Great read.
We've not always agreed on everything but I think you're spot on here.
We need to grow a real philosophy at the club that prioritises the youth and a consistent style across all levels. I think what you say about a Technical Director is exactly the thing we need, and your point about also growing coaches and managers is something that I'd love to see us do too. The turnover of managers at Barcelona is very high (though not as high as ours), but when managers move on they are more often than not replaced from within. Men who already know and understand the philosophy of the club and can continue the work.
Basically I'd agree with you on almost everything. Think we'd need one more signing than you've outlined, that being a striker/wide forward, but otherwise very good.
Is Mitchell going to be this 'Technical Director'? Is this a move in the right direction?
