It was conceived, designed and authorised before the arrival of BB (he was brought on staff to be one of the implementers, as head coach) but by who? SOS has been publicly identified as another key player, as Head of Recruitement/List Manager. What exactly is Liddle's role in it? Who is the project director, if there is one?? The Judge? Does the board act in this role? We know our team is not winning but are there many other factors in play here apart from BB's coaching? How are they being managed? It seems very murky to me.
From what we've been able to gather, there was a meeting of "influential figures" around the beginning of 2014 that decided on the rebuild approach.
So at a club level it was probably MLG, Trigg, maybe McKay
SOS was targeted as the list manager (although he may have had some input prior to that) and then the coach was appointed.
The framework and direction was set before Bolton came on board.
Bolton was probably happy with the senior opportunity....but we'll never know how he would have progressed things given a free reign.
Strangely enough we were even discussing a rebuild on this forum all through the early part of 2014, so it was in the wind even back then....a year before it was official.
