That may or may not be the case, but that's a different discussion for another day.
He's the main figurehead for ALK though so it doesn't surprise me that he appears to be involved with everything.
It could well change when things have settled down.
He shouldn’t be involved with everything though should he? Certainly not if he’s brought in adequately qualified individuals that he can trust to fulfil their duties and the expectations laid out.
If he doesn’t have people in these positions that he can delegate to, or still feels the need to be heavily involved, it doesn’t suggest he’s got a team upon which he can rely. If this is the case, considering all the changes in personnel at the club, it’s concerning on a few fronts.
The potential downgrading of the academy is a point in case. We don’t know what has gone on, or potentially not gone on, but what we do know is that it’s on Pace’s watch. The academy was, we were told, an important part of ALK’s strategy. It would be anything but a ringing endorsement if we are to be downgraded.
Dyche said as much himself - football clubs are successful when everyone, fans, team, management and board and pulling in the same direction. For me, I want Pace to be leading on that front and that probably includes addressing some of the continuing concerns. It doesn’t mean being privy to the inner workings of their financial plan.
