Which is

let's

reductive conversation that would say, yeah, he's a bad coach, can't handle it.

But

It depends on which Big Six team you're talking about.

Chelsea.

Well, actually, I don't want to do this too literally because it's quite antagonistic to Brighton fans given the history.

Don't worry about Brighton fans.

He's a modern coach in the sense that he understands that a head coach is not a king within a football club.

still think there are coaches around who want to muscle their clubs around their personality.

So a good example, Thomas Tuchel at Bayern Munich didn't work because he wanted Bayern Munich to be about Thomas Tuchel, which can never be.

Herzl is someone who understands that a head coach in the modern game is an employee.

I suspect that's one of the reasons why he works at Brighton, because there's a slot for a head coach.

You drop in, you do your job, you are part of the recruitment conversation to an extent, but not the be-all and end-all of it.

And certain clubs, even at top six level, are built that way.

Chelsea being one of them.

I mean, they've got four sporting directors.

And counting, I guess, yeah.

So it really does depend because there's no such thing anymore as a big six environment.

They're all different.
