Measurement and Evaluation of Managerial Efficiency In MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION OF MANAGERIAL EFFICIENCY IN ENGLISH LEAGUE FOOTBALL: A STOCHASTIC FRONTIER ANALYSIS being a thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the University of Hull by Peter Michael Dawson B.Sc. (Bradford) February 2000 The secret of being a good manager is to keep the five players who hate you from the half-dozen who are undecided. Jock Stein (King and Kelly, 1997) Coaching is for kids. If a player can't trap a ball and pass it by the time he's in the team, he shouldn't be there in the first place. At Derby, I told Roy McFarland to go and get his bloody hair cut; that's coaching at top level. Brian Clough (King and Kelly, 1997) No coach can guarantee results, you can only guarantee a way of playing. Results are in the hands of fate. It is ridiculous to pin the etiquette of success or failure on a coach just because a coin comes up heads or tails.

I am especially grateful to my supervisor, Dr Stephen Dobson, who brought to my attention the study of managerial efficiency and who read the whole thesis (at various stages of completion) in the most painstaking manner. His continued encouragement, suggestions and guidance have been invaluable. He also kindly allowed access to his treasured collection ofRothmans Football Yearbooks. I would also like to extend thanks to Dr Bill Gerrard for supplying the player valuations and for numerous responses to specific queries about the SOCCER TRANSFERS program; to John Goddard for many helpful comments and insights on earlier drafts; to Deloitte and Touche for providing me with financial data; and to Dr Tim Coelli for technical assistance with the computer program FRONTIER 4.1. Needless to say, responsibility for any mistakes or omissions are mine alone. A big thank you also goes to my family, in particular my parents Malcolm and Patricia Dawson who instilled in me the value of hard work and perseverance and my parents-in-law, Brenda and Ron for support and continual understanding. I am also indebted to friends, too numerous to mention, for terrific support even though some can scarcely believe economics and football can be combined, and to colleagues at the University of Hull who frequently had to endure lengthy discussions about the virtues of football data. xii The greatest thanks must, however, go to my wife Elaine for her unfailing love and support and for maintaining mine, as well as her own, sanity throughout the highs and lows.
