Director of football at --------------------------------------------------------------- Macclesfield Town 😂

Just shows the level we are at the moment

To be fair, trying to be Billy Bigbollocks is why we are where we are

Also these people have to start somewhere. No different with some players. But I would say Clearly more so in management and other off field roles. 
 

let’s reserve judgement on the guy til we at least here him speak 

I actually like the idea of a committee or panel so we don’t just end up buying off palace (freedman) Bradford (PP) or Rochdale (KH) interested to see how this pans out. Surely the key is picking up players who can help us short term and long term sell on for value (or stay)

If he can bring any moneyball stuff to the table then I’m looking forward to it.

Absolutely agree pal. People will become fixated that he came from macclesfield. Yet welcomed faal from enfield on the playing side as the new dawn. Bizarre. But expected I guess.

Thick fuckers will become fixated on that. Everyone else will see what he does. It’s nonsense anyway. The best director of football might be at a non league side for all anyone knows. For example who would want to appoint anyone involved in recruitment at Man Utd in the last decade? That would be seriously stupid.

Another step in the right direction. The guy has dealt with the murky waters of lower league football so ticks the boxes.

Remember that, miracles aside, we are playing the “likes” of Macclesfield in 20 games or so. This is the type of measured preparation I like about FV.

People will moan because it’s what they enjoy. But from a business and realism perspective, this looks like a shrewd move.

Love Shazza, me, I do.

I mean one might consider not taking on folk used to doing multi million pound deals for international superstars when you are heading for league two in a transfer embargo lacking ambition.

Others might just call it common fucking sense.

Indeed. Not bothered where he comes from. Same goes for him as the players if he does well and gets picked up by a bigger team then again it’s a job well done.

Does this mean Kenyon is not needed now? Did he have a role in sourcing this new guy with fancy name? Just genuine questions no motive

Sourcing?

FV spend several millions on buying the club. With 0 collective experience of running a football club. So they ask for advice from an exec with lots of experience. It’s not unusual. I suspect Kenyon’s role will last as long as they feel advice is needed.

Having a manager and both a Director of Football and CEO below the owner seems one job and wage too many for a lower divisions club to me.In Bolton's most successful era since the Nat Lofthouse days Allardyce and Gartside did those 3 jobs between them.And Gartside seemed to fit in his job with going to Australia working for other businesses he was involved with.
