It's extremely odd that a manager/dof and an assistant is kept on after so much failure for the 1st team, but i do think that the both of them might have something to offer behind the scenes. Neither of them are stupid men, just shite managers.
As long as they have absolutely zero influence in 1st team matters, i think we could do a lot worse.
My only concern is that they might have an influence in finding players for the manager.
I don't care if Daniel tells them what he wants and they come back with 3 players to choose from, i don't trust them to do that.
My issue isn't even that they don't have anything to offer, I'm sure in isolation both have certain skills. My issue is how them being in and around the club on a daily basis causes unnecessary noise which isn't just going to go away. It's just a distraction and Stendel has been left with such a shitshow its something he certainly does not need. The very fact the press won't shut up about it creates needless controversy which could and should have been removed. The players being will also be fully aware of the fact Levein and MacPhee etc are still kicking about and it just leads to confusion.
Agree entirely with you regards players. Stendel should be the one dictating everything on that front until such time as he has a full time boss in place if Budge appoints a sporting director. Levein and McPhee should be nowhere near player recruitment, the notion that they are is farcical.
