What�s the delay with Butler�s assistant

I would understand if Butler wanted to appoint a foreigner, but we know that he is not and has identified someone or some people to be his assistant. The BFA executive ought to give him the benefit of doubt because it will be his head on the block when things do not go well.

As head coach he needs people he can work comfortably with; those he can trust, not someone he may feel imposed on him, and the kind who share not only his philosophy but his methods of coaching. By imposing its own preferred people, the BFA would be more like trying to dictate to him what tactics, strategy or formation he should use.
