Role of Director of Football

[BensGrandad]

I have often wondered what is the remit of the Director of Football. It would be interesting to get peoples views on how they see it.

I see it in our case and a lot of other clubs with no money, as a way of avoiding paying compensation in a lump sum when you sack the manager thus paying him over the period of time of how ever long his contract is

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

sounds bout right

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Is it another name for 'Youth Team Coach'?

 

[BensGrandad]

Or caretaker manager when we sack the current one a la Portsmouth Tottenham.

 

[Lush]

Given that we are operating on pretty much a skeleton staff, I would reckon it's probably "jack of all trades, master of none".

Certainly I have NEVER heard McGhee say "Well I have consulted with the Director Of Football and he says....."

I will ask him at our lunch. Did I tell you I am having lunch with Mark McGhee....??

I bet he forgets his wallet.

Somehow Lush I think we will know this fact for quite a while

 

[Ned Zelic]

As a club with no money can we really justify a reserve manager considering how few games the reserves play?? Surely that could be part of the Director of Footballs remit.

As the club is so skint, I hope you're treating them Lush.

 

[chips and gravy]

Does the Director of Football sit on the board? How does he direct football differently from the manager?

I think we should be told

 

[Rangdo]

I think we should be told

Yes goddamit. TELL US

No you didn't. Well not for several minutes.
