It's hard to know where to start with that.
There's nothing to say that that quote is not fabricated; it's anonymous, and it has no context.
Basically, it's meaningless post.

It makes sense to have a director of football (or whatever they are called) to create some sort of continuity. I assume Burke deals with our development squad and youth setup.
Managers come and go, it's surely a positive to have a consolidated figure to keep things stable.
As an aside, have any of our departing managers openly criticised David Burke? If he values his employment, would he really go out of his way to make things difficult? If he was cocking up Bloom's £150m investment, would he still be employed?

I think Aspinall would be better than Burke because no-one would have any idea who he was signing because he would mis pronounce the easiest of names

Sorry it's not confirmed. There's a thread about it further down.

Everyone expected it to be a formality that Gianluca Festa would take over, as he appeared to be lined up when McDermott was notfired back in January, to the point he was going to take to the dugout in the game McDermott missed, but was stopped by club staff. Though recently, David Hockaday has seemingly sprung to near the top of the odds to take over. http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spor...to-replace-mcdermott-at-elland-road-1-6647543

Mo, I mentioned something similar to this recently on another thread and to be fair, was treated seriously about it.
You and I both know that David Burke IS a problem within The Albion, and I'm afraid it's not his position that's the problem ( although, saying that, it may well be to some. )
It really is him with his attitude.
There are 3 agents now that I know of that really don't don't want to deal with him.

I TOLD YOU SO! I TOLD YOU SO!
Good grief grow up man. Commander's exactly right. You come up with all sorts of ITK comments (don't forget a
) and guess what some of them are right, albeit fairly obvious. The only one I remember was you skulking off the board because we were WINNING every week and that didn't fit in with your narrative. Yep a Brighton fan getting annoyed basically, because of our good form. Bizarre.This Burke bollocks is classic. No one knows. You certainly don't. If it ever turns out that there is something to it, it's possible, you'll come on here shouting I TOLD YOU SO! If not, you'll be coming up with more insider information, because all the normal people on here would have forgotten all about this latest I know something you don't.

The only thing bizarre on this board is people who believe everything the club want you too.
Maybe it's me but I see that as a good thing. Each agent should know that they can't get away with outrageous demands when we sit down with them. We'll deal but on our terms, not theirs.
Good. Agents are the stinking scum floating on the top of the modern football cesspit. Never miss a chance to overinflate wages. Never miss your cut. The sooner football does without them altogether the better.
