Gaffbear 4,096 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Why when we're making workers redundant are we looking to spend silly money on a position that's not needed.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalfollower 1,543 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Allys signing record isnt very good ans therefore it would make sense in the long term. Theres no way foster or moshni and a few others would be signed by a director of football. All will need to think about his 2 coaches and if they really are good enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dummiesoot 16,009 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 The board aren't really in a position to tell anyone they're not doing their job well. They should be coming together and working out a long term footballing strategy. Then set out a list of accountabilities going forward. Appointing someone else without a plan is pointless.DG this is clearly part of the football strategy. There are currently no football men on the board. Identify this guy, a chief scout and we have a basis going forward... I think and hope. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elephants stoned 2,994 Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 It's obvious that none of the boardroom in the last two years knew anything about football, apart from CG, they need someone to tell them at their level what is happening, the worst case scenario is Walter Smith being chosen, then you can forget your football revolution for good.Walter is retired and deserves his peace. Plus as you say it would be a big mistake, we have to move on from the Walter\Ally days not keep trying to repeat them groundhog day style.

Dugsy 44 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I have a family member who is involved with a championship side down south. The way the the signing process works with them is-Manager/ head coach identify the need to strengthen a certain position in the team,Head of football operations/ technical director will give him three different options of playersIn that position and within the budget. Players will be persued in a first, second and third choice order. Seems to work for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluepeter9 5,167 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Ally being reported as saying he's not keen on the Chief Football Operating Officer having the ability to decide on signings and choosing players. While i do understand his point i think it may be what's needed given Allys patchy record on signings and will take some pressure off him (assuming he stays manager) Ally also says he thinks Graham Wallace has been totally honest with him and says he can understand why some supporters are undecided about renewals.Source - internet rumour?

legalbeagle 3,734 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Really do tell? Check the Express article too btw.Yup, read that as will, same quotes as in the Scotsman. What is it that he has said that you have a problem with? He doesn't know the scope of the role and doesn't think it would be a good idea if the person just signs players that the club doesn't want or need. He also says how he thinks it could work effectively, says the the management need help with scouting and medical.What is the actual problem?
