Full marks to Andrew Pomfret, the League's Customer Services Officer, for taking the time to respond. This is from his response:
As per The Football League definition, the manager ‘means the official of a club responsible for selecting the Club’s first team’. If he had been appointed Director, then he would not have been appointed as manager and therefore would not be responsible for the club’s first team or require managerial qualifications.
As you can read within the official statement issued, the club appointed a manager who did not have the required qualifications as per regulation 40, nor was on a pathways to achieve these qualifications. Please see that statement here The Football League | News | Football League | FL News | FDC fines Stanley.
