Constricted club management bandwidth

570

Any management team has only so much bandwidth.  You see the effect of this in organisations when the pressure is applied.  Urgent matters, the ones that come screaming into your inbox, or literally banging on your door, tend to take your focus.

Strategically important issues seldom do this.  They can sit in the outfield for a long time, so much so, they blend into the background and you stop noticing them.  Then something big happens and bang, you have an urgent matter which you could have dealt with months earlier.

Yesterday’s Scottish news saw an example of this.  At an inquiry into deaths at Glasgow’s Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, a manager admitted he “dropped the ball” in not reacting to a report issued years earlier.  An unusual admission of laxity.

Football clubs also a million things metaphorically banging on their door; there is always a crisis and always things which are not really today’s priorities that look like priorities.  That’s why the little things, like submitting a planning request to Glasow City Council to make stadium changes to accommodate away fans can slip through the net.

The signs are that Newco management’s bandwidth is more constricted than most.  They are making very visible mistakes.  Unlike the hospital manager, their appetite for taking responsibility isn’t great.  Results will soon out them.

    I doubt many would see Bernardo as a direct replacement.

     

     

    What he does bring is a different set of qualities though.

     

     

    His involvement in helping us get results in 3 of the Glasgow derbys last year augurs well.

     

     

    Perhaps his inclusion may allow us to utilise Cal or Reo in a different role to currently. Perhaps Cal could be freed up to play more as he did back in the Brendan invincible era.
