Reformation Bear 6,453 Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 Whoever it is I wish him every success. TBH I've no idea what the measures of success would or should be for a Director of Football at Rangers, or how quickly we are to expect to see successful outcomes happening. I still think it is beyond reasonable, acceptable explanation by King or the Board if they have let McParland join and then leave with no semblance of a scouting network in place and no foundations for an incoming DOF to build on or adjust. If a DOF is coming in with part of the role to recruit suitable players and having to start a scouting system from scratch or near scratch then you have to ask what execs at Rangers - Robertson in particular - were playing at by allowing McParland to fly solo with no requirement to build a scouting network. Now I may be very wrong here, and there may be a semi-built or fully-built scouting network in place for an incoming DOF to direct. But if there were would we not know about it? Director of Football. Who is he going to direct? Who will be working for him, who are his direct reports? I've no idea. To me at this time its a fancy sounding title, one which is designed to impart a sense of importance, a sense of being a pivotal player in taking Rangers' football ambitions forward at pace. But is it really more of an illusion, the creation of an appearance of progression? It'll become clearer when the DOF is appointed and somebody from the Club then explains exactly what the job is, explains what success is to look like and explains who will be working under his direction.

It's his fault if he has put all his eggs in one basket and said we are close to confirming the appointment of a DOF. Robertson is an amateur and shouldn't have so much responsibility at our club.

Im not saying he's perfect but not everything that goes against us has to be a board members fault. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye but it doesn't matter how close away he was to signing, in fact I don't think he ever was close as he rejected the first offer then we made a second which he wanted more time to consider before saying no anyway. Anything that a board member says which turns out to be bullshit then yeah it's their fault. That's part and part of the massive responsibility that comes with his role and his alleged 310k per year he get's from us. As I said he's out of his depth.

Thewhitesettler 2,711 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 A DOF is a waste of money for us just now, money we don't have as well. If the DOF is to be the head of scouting, why not just say that? British clubs are not used to having DOF, like they do on the continent, because we have club managers, rather than head coaches. Managers, generally, like to pick out players themselves, rather than a DOF, offering him a player that fits the hole they're looking to fill. These international weeks are really shit, because the rags have no stories, and just make shit up. This could be one of those situations.?

Seen this last week...there isn't a perfect answer, spent ages looking at it Closest you can get is Rivaldo but only because Mourinho was assistant at Barca at the time or Julio Cesar because he won the youth world cup...
