Stupidity in Football Redux

Felipe Scolari, the former Brazillian World Cup Winning Manager was today also sacked. It's completely ridiculous for numerous factors, actually, a lot more ridiculous than the Tony Adams sacking.

Moving on from this, it got me thinking as an aside: from a Business standpoint, why for one would you entrust a former-footballer (considering footballers aren't generally known for their intelligence) with millions of pounds to spend on current players who are also not renowned for their intelligence, and the majority these days are lacking in any kind of loyalty, honesty and class. As for the directors themselves, if they believe that they can run the clubs, and pick the teams and what-not better than the managers they employ, then they should do that, and pick and run the sides themselves and therefore be held entirely accountable. Or at the very least conduct proper interviews, like they would in a normal business and entirely set the stall about what they expect for their investment. Of course that's not going to happen.

Football is an absurd industry.
