Parlaneloyal 353 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 What's the score with the director of football? Never seem to hear a thing from him. Surely he's got to have some sort of influence It's a fucking shambles Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Essandoh 21,224 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Ghost. Another one that’ll disappear by the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbm26896 995 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Has he started with us yet, totally underwhelming appointment Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CF2 WINNIE 1,006 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 @eskbankloyal probably best person to ask this sure I’ve seen you comment on this before what actually is his remit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the brown brogue 1,910 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He's already left the club, its just that nobody noticed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC10 1,449 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 It was a bizarre time to appoint him in July. Most of our signings were completed in June. A DOF can work well when done correctly - appointing him after we've spent all/most of our transfer budget isn't going to get any instant rewards.

Essandoh 21,224 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 In his role, he should be instrumental in the next appointment. But he won’t be. The footballing masterminds of Douglas Park, Paul Murray and Dave King will entice the fans with Billy Davies. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassaaaa 11,406 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Get him the fuck out of the club too....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRW. 5,631 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 What you wanting, him to make statements every week or get to work behind the scenes? I imagine he’ll have a say in the new manager appointment. He needs to be involved. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShanksRFC 3,870 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Would imagine that is why Declan John and Nemane (not that he's done much) are here. He should have a huge say on the next appointment seeing as the other fuckwits on the board dont have a clue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd 10,756 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 His job is Long term, sort out the things in the background. If we're hearing from him then there's something wrong, he should have the final decision on our next manager since the board have shown they have no eye for picking a manager Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job isn't to talk to the media it to put building blocks in place for the future, I would like to think he has a shortlist of candidates already and players for January Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He’s the DofF we don’t need to hear from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 His role isn’t one that is likely to get much press attention. Not that it’ll stop the usual suspects blaming him for all-sorts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valance1690 3,851 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 He obviously came across well in the interviews, dont blame the board for hiring who they thought gave the best interview. What is inexcusable is the length of contract he got, a 3 year deal for an unknown manager is ridiculous and has cost us in the long run, similar mistake to giving Warburton a new deal after the cup final defeat, made no sense, make our managers work for their deals. These cunts coming in wont get a chance to manage a bigger club in their lives, should be a 1 year rolling deal until they prove they can cut it at a club our size.

Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 DOF's generally go about their business without much media exposure. It'll be interesting to see who we bring in given he'll presumably heavily influence the next appointment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilkie1984 2 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 I believe he now has a full team that he has brought in to work under him. I am sure i read it in a report somewhere i will see if i can dig it out but it was a good read about the things he is planning to do but a DOF will take time. I do fully believe he will have a say in the manager that is appointed next. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

esquire8 42,990 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Think he will have the say on who we appoint next just so the board have a patsy if it falls apart again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
40delboy40 248 Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 Nice work if you can get it, another wage thief with no justification of his job . Sick and tired of how this great club has become and the shysters leeching from it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
