Im trying to work out if all this movement of backroom staff is unusual, or if it's just a normal thing to happen when a large club gets new ownership but it's getting a lot of reporting for some reason.

Its something you're going to see more and more of as clubs move towards a model of having a DoF/Sporting Director/whatever. Theres definitely been a lot written about Michael Edwards and his replacements at Liverpool (admittedly mostly in The Athletic).

Generally, I think all aspects of a soccer club involve way too much time, work and energy for owners to go with an old school manager approach. For every Wenger or Ferguson, there are countless stories of having too much dependent on the well-being and competence of a single man leading to disaster.

I'm more surprised this transitions hasn't happened sooner in England.

That's been Pep's MO in City, just constant praise the other manager/team. Try to put pressure on them.

also remember that Ferguson just inverted the model, where he'd hand off all of the day-to-day responsibility for overseeing the physio or the scouting (and often, the training) to Carlos Queiroz or Mike Phelan or whoever, and then just pick a team and explain that Tottenham are bad

that still doesn't explain how we can sign City's DOF, Newcastle's DOF, and Southampton's DOF, and then have them all coexist, though, unless we're going to send them out like pokemon

They’re gonna group together like Apprentice candidates and rename themselves Apollo, spend £500m on talent that their Endeavour equivalents negotiated for £3m, and then Lord Sugar will pull a face. Somehow Karren Brady is involved.

I don't know what you mean, it's the tried-and-tested system of Brighton staff moving to Chelsea and it's been nothing but productive in the recent past

Sam Jewell is the reason why Brighton got Caicedo (when Man Utd gave up) as he has a lot of experience and contacts negotiating with South American agents.

Quite a big loss for Brighton as they have been quite good in that market but can't wait to see how this guy spectacularly fails at Chelsea.
