I don't see why we'd be holding off till the summer to make a permanent appointment if that wasn't the case. If thats what they do then its a calamitous error on their part. Its the DoF that should approve the manager. It has to be the Southampton way with a DoF in the position we are in. They don't interfere with team selection/tactics and consult with the manager to highlight areas they need to recruit. They ensure that there is the ethos at the club that survives changes of manager/head coach and that the new recruits fit seamlessly into the system.

It doesn't matter who it is the DoF must be involved in recruiting the manager/coach not the other way round. What happens if/when deBoer goes and his choice decides to follow him? DoF is the longer term appointment to ensure stability. Look at the Southampton model, thats what we should be aiming at the replacement of Pochettino with Koeman and him with Puel were, primarily due to the DoF.

Rumours were they were gonna offer him a £3million a year deal to take over from them but it never happened, probably cause inter came in for him.

There will be plenty of EPL managerial jobs going in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yip I agree but we need the best calibre manager possible right now for the next 2-3yr That man Imo is FDB I'd rather appoint him with people he already trusts than just hoping it works out.

Terry Hurlock Loyal 12,133 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 DoF is not a well used role in major clubs for a reason, it simply doesn't work. I can't see this ending well at all, I hope the board takes a rethink and employs a highly respected coach. Â Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace 3,556 Posted February 18, 2017 Share Posted February 18, 2017 The whole point of a DoF is to allow an ethos to continue no matter the manager/coach, so the idea of a manager picking the DoF is just nuts & a non-starter IMO. The club still want to have a modern thinking playing style with modern coaching techniques (at least they say they do), so I do wonder about FdB as first team coach as his playing style isn't exactly swashbuckling. FdB has already confirmed (via RdB) that he wouldn't be interested in starting any new role until April at the earliest, not wanting the same situation as he had at Inter where he had 2 weeks before 1st game. I would add though that FdB would certainly ignite the imagination of the fans & would show the clubs ambition Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
