The assistant coach’s job is to assist the manager and not dictate how a team plays. That honour falls to the manager and if he chooses to ignore his assistant’s suggestions then there is nothing that the assistant can do other than keep his counsel or resign.

That is Bull S hit, its team work and in modern day football a manager relays more and more on his assistant and 9 times out of 10 will ask and implement his assistants suggestions, most assistants are as qualified as the manager without having to do the more mundane tasks.
As for living in the past the game has moved on considerably since 1966 and Alfs day, if you want to go back to that era then get Fat Sam in charge we an hoof the ball to to the new england captain Davis and his fellow striking partner Nolan, while sitting on the bench will be Rooney and Gerrard because they questioned his decsion.
