chris182 6,317 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Undecided on the DoF position but willing to see how it develops. The system won't work unless its reasonably financed. I just hope they get an experienced interim manager in. We've some big games between now and the end of the season if we want end up with second and the Cup. Need to put the Sheep firmly in their place. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Bob 1,360 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 When Park quit the taigs I wondered but reading Stepps Boys post about Wilson has me thinking we could get both. We just need the manager and a pile of cash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Basically we want to try and emulate the model Southampton have whereby if one coach leaves then it doesn't fuck up the whole club. They simply hire another coach who will buy into the clubs philosophy rather than the other way about. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to go - right DoF and tight manager and it will work. Maybe, if we give the manager the funds required. We shall see Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDFM 3,809 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Having a DoF may allow us to adopt a Barcelona approach and promote from within in regards to managers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gj923 1,457 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Lots of people where positive when Warburton was appointed and how he talked about developing the whole structure of the club. To me that is what a DOF would do and you would hope provided he was good at it that he would be in place for a good length of time considering the shelf life of Old firm managers, Hearts seem to be well run with Levein doing a decent job. We need someone to motivate and get the best out of the current squad but we also need to get someone to spot future targets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you even listen to the interview ? How can you expect specifics when they are probably in negotiations with long and short term appointment's. The last thing they'll do is rush things or have a line of managers knocking the job back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cameron1873 516 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 That interview definitely gives me hope. I believe this board are moving in the direction. Abouts about adopting a philosophy that works for out club. And exciting winning philosophy. I think they get that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BridgeIsBlue 66,614 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Best case scenario for me. McLeish comes in until the summer then moves upstairs into the DOF role to make way for the two brothers coming in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AljayBoy 2,314 Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 Ironically I think Warburton would make a decent DoF, or at least a better DoF than manager. He has the grand plans and long term vision you'd associate with the DoF role, and best of all isn't responsible for the tactics, team selection and subs etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
