The DOF is a patsy - he won’t do anything 

Give it until the summer and there will be a low key statement on our website about Mark Allen’s leaving his position we wish him all the best and thank him for his efforts 

Then in another 12 months time you’ll notice he’s chief executive of  Richer Sounds or RS McColls or something 

Been saying the exact same since the minute he was appointed 

will have absolutely zero clout, will coin himself a wage quietly in the background knowing full well there is zero expectation for him to deliver, and will slope off out the back door in such a low key manner that half of us won’t even notice 

will never be seen in football again

Aye, well as far as I can tell he's had no influence so far. Granted he was appointed after Pedro and after the board had sanctioned Pedro to squander our cash on dross. 

Waste of a wage that we can't afford.

So what exactly is his job role? How close are you to day-to-day goings on at Ibrox and Auchenhowie to know much about the influence he's had in the six months since he started work.

The fact that we actually have a proper scouting team in place would be something that I doubt anyone can argue is a negative and was one of Allen's first main responsibilities after starting.

The fact we don’t have a plan B after Mcinnes is really worrying, I was all for the idea of a DoF but the board have fucked it imo

I was going to ask you what his job role is? Because if he was the one that wanted McInnes with no Plan B then he's done a great job..

A scouting team could and should have been brought in by anyone at the club just like everyone does , we didn't need to pay another suit.

There is zero justification for hiring this clown............

[The Godfather 72,864]

Wate of money but I didn' expect anything less from a bunch of liars and con men who were trying to look competent by pretending they knew how to set up a football club.

But it's a waste of the fans money not theirs thats' for sure,

A “proper scouting team” comprised of bomber and some other cunts that have been in and around Ibrox in various capacities over the years 

it’s fucking bollocks

Would you have trusted Stewart Robertson with that responsibility?

I wouldn't trust any of that board to run a market stall , but i also wouldn't have taken any DOF on at the club either. Its another shocking waste of the supporters cash .

I was told he was brought in to set up scouting department. I know it was 'unveiled' late October, but imagine it takes longer than the 2 months or so he had been in the job at the time. 

The way the past couple of managers have spent, I think having someone  overlooking the transfers can only be a good thing. 

He's not even been here for a transfer window and people are calling him a waste of money ffs

[Rum Ham 2,067]

People saying hes a waste of money, what did you expect a DOF to have done in the 4/5 months he's been here? 

For all anyone knows he could have handed the board a list of managers he would want, and has been ignored. 

Think we should at least wait a couple of transfer windows before judging the guy

[BridgeIsBlue 66,666]

A guy who's been down south all his days recommends Derek McInnes to be our new manager.

Agreed as I think our DOF had a better list drawn up but king only wanted DM to take over

What’s he even here for then.

So the board have someone else to point the finger at and say it’s his fault.

I've no idea on the specifics. I've asked the question and not had any answer on it.

I don't believe he was the one that wanted McInnes. That was certain folk on the board (King at least seemingly) pushing that.

Apart from the three  of the five full-time appointments who had nothing to do with the club in any capacity before

[RDFM 3,809]

I'd be a lot less sceptical and a lot more confident about Allen if he had actually ever been a DoF or something similar before. As far as I'm aware he's only been head of youth academy.

Overlook transfers, set up scouting department etc. 

Wouldn't surprise me if the board wanted Murty until the end of the season from the moment Pedro was sacked, to save a wage then bring in someone to sell season tickets. 

[gazza87 160]

Sounds like his voice isn't really being heard.  From the outside it looks like all he has done is bring in Nemane (where is he actually?).

Any appointment this board has to be treated with suspicion.  All we can do is leave the job with Murty at the moment, they can't be trusted to make another mistake.

The statement yesterday was a joke, trying to deflect attention off themselves with the usual childish comments.

That's what we need in Scotland though. Someone who knows how to get the best out of our youth and bring in and develop other young players. 

The days we could attract and afford to bring in ready made top class footballers are gone unfortunately, that's why we need someone who knows how to produce our own.

He also out of all the top coaches around in youth football discovered John Brown.

We need a DoF, not a rookie. 

 

We have a head of youth development who's doing a great job already. 

[London Calling 46]

How can we have any faith in an appointment made by this board? If he was merely introduced to oversee a Scouting Network then isn't he simply a chief scout?

We need a Ferguson type character or I hate say it but someone like Rodgers who can come in and revamp the whole club..We need arrogance and one vision
