Message: [QUOTE="Tmac, post: 3286725, member: 10588"] Perhaps a factor is that succesful, long term coaches have a well balanced interest in both short term and longer term success so they plan well for both. Bellamy and Robinson are the prime examples. They can do this because they are secure in their positions. Usually the club itself plays a key role also with high performers throughout the organisation who have already set a path for sustained long term success. Most coaches find themselves not in this position. They need short term success to avoid sackings or reputations damage and longer term planning suffers. What often seems to happen is there there is no short term success and the club is in a poor position when the next coach takes over, and this losing pattern continues for another cycle. It’s a tough pattern to break especially as change usually needs to start with the head office who don’t like to sack themselves. Maybe in Wayne’s case he has found himself on the wrong side of this equation in his later career and his goals have mainly been short term at the expense of a club’s longer term interests. [/QUOTE]
