It’s the difference between a head coach and manager. A head coach just takes care of the footballing aspect. A manager has more executive decisions regarding transfers. Only player Walter pushed for personally was Mehlem. Everyone else was suggested by the ‘brain team’ and he just said ‘yes’ or ‘no’.
Tbf .. he accepts responsibility for the failings in the transfer window, admits Walter won't be sacked after tonight, but avoided saying how long he has left, won't blame fans for their feelings towards Walter, instead saying if there is a breakdown in that relationship its 'repairable' but ultimately down to Walter to put it right, says they're getting ready to do business in January, but again says if the players decline coming here they can but try. Not a huge amount different in there, asked about Tan, says its confidential but denies its anything legal.
As a follow up, he was asked about the rumours from Turkey. He said there's nothing legal, but doesn't want to talk on the reasons, and likened it to a break-up of a marriage where reasons aren't generally announced.
Acun says Tim is safe in his job. If we get paggered 0-4 by Sheff Massive, let's see if Acun's sphincter holds out on that statement.
It's also because he can't back up what he says. Yes, it's a young team but it was last year too, and yes we've been in every game and had chances to score but the Championship is such a tight league that that statement is true for the vast majority of teams in the vast majority of games. The best teams take those chances, take more points and end up higher up.
