Excellent article, full of interesting analysis.
From a Brentford’s point of view, you are right, only time will tell, but it does seem a bit haphazard at the moment with no one particular person with ‘hands on’.
Collective decisions can be OK but don’t Brentfords loyal supporters need to get an better appreciation of how our new system is begining to operate.
Come on PR Department up your game please! At the moment we seem to be in the press just as a club fighting off circling predators. That can’t be right, can it?
Spot on – 100% agree, there has been so much said about open internal communication and free thought within our new structure. At the moment responsibilities seem blurred and a lack of a clear chain of communication is evident. Whether its the PR department’s fault is open to debate – as we don’t know who makes the calls on what is released and when. Definitely an area that needs improvement though, maybe we need to hire a PR coach.
Pierre Bourdieu put his finger on the spot, when he wrote, “Practice has a logic which is not that of the logician”, meaning that while one may have an intricately worked out management structure and plan, its main purpose is to stimulate unpredicable outcomes. It may be that our new Director of Philosphy has a different take on this. Could he be more of a Foucauldian, along the lines of, “People know what they do; frequently they know why they do what they do; but what they don’t know is what what they do does.”? Either way this approach seems set to create a boom in fans reading modern social theory.There’s surely no other way to fathom it out!The Bees have truly enter the post-modernist stage of development.
