You don’t think they have a boss? You think a club should hand over a budget of £3M and say “Good luck Kenny, talk again in May” ?
To be fair, I wouldn’t be surprised if Pompey did just that, such was the lack of leadership the last few seasons.
No ,they hire a manager, have a discussion about how much money they need to achieve whaever target the club thinks is realistic, negotiate that figure down to to what is available, and then yes, they leave them to it without interfering in the footballing side at all beyond handling the admin of transfers that the manager chooses.
How many manaager's autobiographies have you read that included any mention of KPIs ? How many press reports of what KPIs a manager has been set ?? None, that's how many. Football clubs do not operate like corporate businesses.
But you haven't answered the question ... do you really think Catlin incented Jackett to do well in the cups rather than concentrate on promotion ? Because that it was you seem to be claiming happened.
