If you're the manager how can you have all your players imposed on you? Whoever comes in now doesn't have a team, he has to sign one. He needs to have the enthusiasm of using players he rates. Its just asking for unnecessary tensions between players and manager, and manager and 'director of football'. Agreed, it doesnt work over here. seems to do abroad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lt. Aldo Raine Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Plenty of Premier League clubs have them. Norwich City got promoted with a Sporting Director last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hutch Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’ve wanted a Big Mick/Warnock type with lots of experience but suspect I’m way off now Iles has been in the know (surprisingly) in this last 2 days so suspect he will be right with a younger manager Now expect it to be someone we’ve not heard of....but who has worked for City/United/Liverpool youth team and has contacts with younger kids who we could nurture and then sell on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just asking for unnecessary tensions between players and manager, and manager and 'director of football'. I believe it works something like this. The coach or manager (in discussion with Sporting Director) says something like "We need a speedy left sided midfielder who is capable of putting tackles in". In other words they set a criteria. The Sporting Director looks ta the data that fits that criteria and finds a few players, who they then go and watch etc. The coach the works with those players who have been acquired. It is a more targetted approach. It saves a lot of pointless scouting here, their and everywhere and managers who spend alot of their time on wasted journeys watching players who are nowhere near what they need. It works at Brentford - where they uncovered a lot of quality players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombwfc Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Never mind the manager we might get, what qualifies Tobias Pheonix to take charge of signings? Don't think we need to be trying to reinvent the wheel when we're the biggest team and have twice the gate of just about every team in the League. If Adkins or whoever would take it, we'd be mad to pick some unknown reserve team coach just because of some vague philosophy we're signing up for.

It is a conundrum, if we employed N'Gotty, Djorkaeff or Muamba they would have my full support, but if they played shit football and the results were crap and there wasn't any progress being made, they would get some stick, fuck colour it doesn't matter, i just want a successful manager, even if he (no birds) is black with pink Mr Blobby spots, they will do for me. he's still out of work- worth a punt? obviously has a few contacts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warnock not doing out good manager but lives in Cornwall tends to do a couple of days a week at is last few clubs travelling to and from home don’t think he is what the club are looking for with not being hands on approach and leaving it to is coaching staff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norpig Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Lowe would be great if he could build a team like he had at Bury but they did overspend on wages which is partly what lead them to go out of business, so would he be able to do it on an almost non existent budget?

Escobarp Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Someone out of contract. But that doesn’t fit this “moneyball” approach that’s banded about as these guys OoC are all old school managers. it’s either someone completely unknown like the buy from rangers or someone who has a clause allowing them to leave for certain job or location or something. Maybe Nolan fits that bill or it’s David lee. Which I think would be a huge error and I Would like to think FV know they need the fans onside.
