Would a Bundesliga team benefit from playing pre season friendlies against teams of a similar level (in the UK) or play against 4th division teams at their Austrisn training camp.

I support a team who's "forward" scores very few goals and contributes almost nothing to every game he plays.

What is the point of a non goalscoring forward?

Is it beneficial to promote an under23 coach to first team manager? Is it a case of the cheap option, a coach who will never achieve a managers post at another club and will be a yes man upon his promotion?
