Yeah I'm totally fine with him being potentially poached down the line for the exact reason you outline. Still don't want him to have final say, though. Signings are made for a multitude of reasons and that long term strategy doesn't sit with the HC for me. He should absolutely have input, but the decision to invest in a player should ultimately be a club one IMO. Any player contract will likely be longer than the tenure of a HC.I think what it means is he has the final say in recruitment, so basically all the work will be done and they will have a shortlist and say to him “ok which do you prefer from them”. I really can’t see them tearing up the modal to suit one coach and not others. I agree he will be poached eventually but that is where we are now, it is no different with the players. BUT for him to be poached then he has to have done a gone job here. If he takes us to the Premier League and established then we have gone to the next level.
