Dont agree.

Why? What for you means a Director of Football is so important to a football club?

[KingKirk 25,700]

Stevie mentioned a intresting name on RR this morning Christian Nerlinger possible replacement. We know he was close to it before

It means a fuckload. The Manager cannot have all of the football setup under control. "Director of football" is not the same at all footbal clubs, by the way. At some Clubs its an admin role.. some its the "manager" of the Manager.. If you are a Main Coach, you dont want to be in charge of Womens Team finances, for instance.

Nerlinger could open up a decent few new avenues but it would all be budget dependant

You've basically said yourself there that other clubs use the role in different ways, and to restructure workloads etc.

It's not a necessity and means fuck all really. 

When we were at the height of our success, we never had a Director of Football. 

As long as you have a competent chief scout and scouting department, and a competent CEO/Managing Director, then it is nothing more than a token job.

Employing others to do jobs that if we had employed a fit for purpose MD and CEO then those jobs wouldn't need to exist.

Would it really? He’s not had a job in football in years.

Just read an article from him last year, said he’s happy just running his agency and staying in Germany. Think a story out of nothing.

I agree with everyone else that has said throughout the his thread, if Wilson goes that the director of football role should be scrapped.

It is an unnecessary role, that really does nothing that a chief operations officer and a chief scout can't do.

Let Michael Beale have more control, employ a chief scout and let's see where we go.

Utter balls

Please just get rid of the role entirely.

stevie who?

the only time i've seen his name mentioned was on FF and the poster was told he's been an agent for years now

[gogzy 31,195]

Old news mate.  Already been posted.

[STEPPS BOY 74,234]

Gone apparently..

 

 

[gogzy 31,195]

Ok I'll be honest.

I have no idea exactly what a DOF actually does.

I know he likely negotiates the deals, but other than that i don't know enough to decide if he was pish at his job or not.

He did get us two of our highest ever transfer fees, one of them for a kid just breaking into the team.

If it calms the fan base down a bit then it I'm good with it.

Maybe we can all move forward together now... lol.

It’s a fucking weird name his parents gave him/her/he/she

[STEPPS BOY 74,234]

1 down 1 to go.

Hopefully more demos at weekend though Robertson hasn’t the same Ego as Wilson.

[graeme_4 34,686]

Delighted he’s gone.

Would quite like to see his replacement (or other new supporting roles to fill the gaps) not to have come from Scotland or the lower leagues of England.
