Football has been employing mates & former players
since the game began.
Just a few pre-Delia examples:
John Bond recruiting most of the Boscombe side & Peters.
South appointing Brown as manager (see also Machin & Stringer).
Chase appointing Walker as manager & Forbes as Chief Scout.
Most managers since Martin O'Neill have come with a team of mates as assistants them, whether or not they are qualified or suitable.
