The only way for it to be avoided is that Hughes MUST be a public figure whose accountable for recruitment decisions
If that’s what it says on the job spec then Slot can’t be the one in the firing line for it
I think the set up (with Slot as head coach not manager) mean that nobody is going to think a player is a
Slot signing’ in the same way that some players were clearly advocated by Rodgers or Klopp.
Just looking at how Bournemouth have done it recently, when they sign someone the manager isn’t quoted in the signing announcements, isn’t in the pics etc. It’s not Hughes either, but their chief exec - could be similar here with Hughes/Edwards ‘owning’ the signings as they should.
