Subject: Frank Osborne was the general manager for decades. A former player but he wasn't taking training or making the big decisions. An administrator.
In reply to: The Man With No Name 's message, "The role of manager as we know it didn't really predate the 1960s. Prior to that the Board ran the club delegating admin to a general manager/secretary with a trainer looking after the players fitness. No coaching , the team picked by the Board who decided who was to be bought or sold. Vic Buckingham was probably our first manager. Jezzard may have thought he was but the Mullery sale told him who ran the show and he effectively walked out." on Thursday, December 19, 09:29:02am
