Just read on article on UK Premier League team Liverpool;
It has a fair bit on their current on-field woes, but the bit I found most interesting was the detail on their off-field issues.
It talks about the changes in the 'coaching-performance-recruitment divisions.'
There was a clear triumvirate and although each had a defined role they worked cohesively and cooperatively where joint decisions were made.
If you were to break it down at the Swans it would be roughly the equivalent of CEO, football director and coach.
At Liverpool only the coach/manager in Jurgen Klopp is still in situ.
Replacements and other key staff have also moved on with the feeling they "no longer feel empowered to do their jobs to the best of their ability " and that roles are no longer clearly defined and that certain people are interfering in areas outside their immediate level of expertise.
One employee is quoted as saying "A lot of key people have left, some have gained too much power. There's less faith in the decisions now."
And so to the point of my post, prompted by the article above.
Sydney remains a very well run club.
You look at the recruitment dept, seems the trio have their roles nicely divided, whilst still operating as a team.
Simplistically Kinnear does the trades, Dalrymple does the picks and Chris Keane does the shenanigans.
Overseeing them is Charlie Gardiner. Recognises their abilities and he doesn't interfere.
Dalrymple left the Bulldogs primarily because Beveridge was overruling him.
You don't see that at the Swans.
Prior to the draft the recruiting staff make a presentation to the coaching staff and players are discussed, but the final decision is left to the experts; Kinnear's team
It's also a club without ego.
Covid hit the coaching staff for a game mid-year in 2022.
Ended up as
Charlie Gardiner - runner
Tom Harley - Bench Coach
JPK - Stoppage Coach
Really like this and I think an example of why we coped so well in the hubs during covid.
Team effort, CEO needed down on the bench rightio not a problem.
Similarly there is the story of Tom Harley running water for the AFLW team.
Symbolic maybe, but a sign of we are all in this together.
Very happy with the parking of egos and the leadership, in all areas, at the club .
Club is in good hands.
Liverpool: How Jurgen Klopp's Reds have been hurt on the pitch by a 'brain drain' off it
Sky Sports News senior reporter Melissa Reddy takes a look at the factors behind the scenes at Liverpool that are contributing to the Reds slump; There has been a steady brain drain, categorising Liverpool not just as a team in transition but a club in one
