Good luck to him

Not comfortable if he is going to be involved with squad selection. I see that as AK's job

This suggests some investment expected in to NFFC. EM will want someone he can trust and is with him for the long run in charge of the money and assets. This guy has 25 yrs at Olympiacos and has worked with EM for much of that. Managers come and go for a variety of reasons. AK maybe unhappy but is the way of things.
This suggests to me, an outsider with little info in to the mechanics of NFFC, that EM is putting a vital cog in to the backroom staff and that another big push is imminent. AK needs to keep his eye on the ball over Jan and leave much of the transfer leg work to someone else. AK will not be wanting to radically alter the squad (even if he could) and a couple of quality signings would be welcome.
IF we were successful in our goal of promotion (and that is what EM is planning on) then to survive in the Premiership will require a further uplift in quality over the summer. He needs someone in place he can trust to complete that work if required. If we fail in that goal some smaller scale tinkering to prepare the squad for next season, with or without the present manager.
Wonder if he racked up last Saturday and that's why Kranky said he was feeling flat?
