CornwallRam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Too many cooks tend to make a dog's breakfast. It's a pretty daft idea to set the structure before the new manager is appointed imo. It further restricts our choice - at present we appear to be looking for a manager/head coach who is willing to work with tiny budget, take the flak for the tiny budget, be a yeas man, have no control over transfers and get us promoted. So surely we can't expect to attract anyone who is not stupid or desperate...hello Mr McClaren. and for DoF, well Mark Arthur is available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramsbottom Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Name some current teams that have a director of football and who is it?? The only one I know is Kinnear at Newcastle. Spurs. Theirs is Fabiola Capello's old right hand man, can't recall his name. Seems to be working for them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilkoRam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Yeah Franco Baldini at Spurs. AVB likes that structure and Baldini has been pretty key in getting the likes of Saldado, Eriksen, Lamela, Paulhino. Used the Bale money very wisely. If both coach and DoF know how the setup works and can work together then it's a good setup. A lot of 'managers' these days just want to work with the style of play, etc. get a list of positions they want to fill and the DoF get the best players available for that role. Both of them need to agree with the style of play. No use having a head coach who likes to play passing possession football and a DoF who wants to sight big physical lumps who are bruisers and can't pass. That's why the DoF role is important and I imagine if it is McClaren the structure has been explained and he is ok working in that setup. He may even have a hand in who the DoF is.

WestLondonRam Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Is anyone else this DOF is going to be more of a manger role than a man in the background with Maclaren just being the head coach like he is at QPR!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stive Pesley Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Hmm - McClaren mentioned the big picture of Igor Could be a clue - Igor as DoF would be awesome. He'd have to involve his croatian mafia contacts* to make sure we got the best deals. *not that he has any, he hastened to add for legal reasons.

Stimacked Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Igor. Like that idea. It ll be someone cheap who is out of work and mates with Maclaren or Rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
