Hi there. I'm a final year Product Design Student at the Glasgow School of Art who is currently running a project entitled Self-Serve-Us which basically looks at designing into a climate that sees consumers gaining more power in regard to dictating how certain products and services are delivered to them. My main focus for this project is football (hence why i'm posting in this forum)and how fans' input into a football match can determine the outcome of their experience. My initial research so far has brought me to ask the following question: What if fans managed their football team? Having spraffed somewhat to outline the project, i would like to ask a few questions to all footballing fanatics: Have you ever questioned your club managers decisions (i bet you have)? If so can you elaborate on one such instant? [what was the decision?, how would you have made it better?] What do you think are the primary managerial duties at your football club? Given the chance, what sort of managerial decisions would you like to influence the most at your football club? (e.g. would you like to have more say in back-room matters such as transfers and wages, or would you rather like to have more say in the 1st hand tactics of the team?) Please specify, if you can, why you would like more control over the decisions you have mentioned above. Also, is anyone familiar with the 'Football Manager' PC games? If so, what are your thoughts on the experience they provide? That's all for now. Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions (i know its a bit of a long post)and i appreciate the insights and help that your answers may provide for my project. Cheers
