Director of Football (11 Viewers)

[Cally Fedora]

Lots of talk about what will be the head coach role. Less about the seemingly likely DoF role. Just as important. Any noise on the runners and riders for this?

Probably Dean Austin.

Are we actually getting a director of football?

The way it came across someone asked the question and King replied that's a great idea, I doubt it had even seriously crossed his mind before that point.

I'm not expecting one any time soon, maybe 6-12 months down the line possibly.

Probably Dean Austin.

What, he who stabbed his mate Mark in the back/ helped throw him under the bus?

Dramatic

 

[Deity]

Big Sam

 

[David O'Day]

Did King even say we were looking for one?

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Did King even say we were looking for one?

King is in that role currently

 

[Deity]

Yes he confirmed that the appointment of a Sporting Director was part of his plan to enable him to step away from the club more than he is able to today.

 

[MalcSB]

Dramatic

But accurate.

 

[shmmeee]

Harry Redknapp

 

[Deity]

Dennis Wise

 

[CCFCSteve]

Mark Robins

 

[Bad Boy]

Maybe an elder statesman of the game with a massive amount of experience and knowledge.
Quite who is anyone's guess, maybe someone in the mould of David Moyes?

 

[Deity]

Wise and Lampard

Wise and Lampard

Didn't Wise do something similar at Newcastle under Ashley?

 

[Terry_dactyl]

Harry Redknapp

I remember the hoo-ha (that’s right I said ‘hoo-ha’) at Pompey when Redknapp was manager and they got a DoF in. He was none too pleased. Until that is they got in Avram Grant that is and they seemed to get on really well.
Im not saying we should get Avram Grant in but a quick check tells me he’s the manager of Zambia…

Yes and was the Como DofF with Fabregas until this summer

Would he good news for one of the oldest professions in the world

Just read that! I either didn’t know or forgot all about it. Maybe if we got him and Rooney in…

My thoughts too

 

[RobinsSkyBlues]

Big Sam

Would he have to give up his job as mascot?

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

Chief Deck Director, unveiled as none other than Vince McMahon.

That would be entertaining.

Big Fat Ron supporting Big Fat Frank

Look on the bright side. No links to little fat Rooney.

 

[ccfcno9]

Given that DK is amazed that someone dared to suggest we need midfield additions... I'm going for another double act, both are good with any 'deck'. and can produce something out of nothing. Penn and Teller.

 

[SBAndy]

Barry Fry

Sold to the fat bastard in the blue blazer!

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Harry Redknapp

He said no at the Royal Navy boxing in Portsmouth last weekend when asked

 

[FergieTheFinisher]

There’s a chap called Mark Robins that might do well as Director of Football. Left his last role under a bit of a cloud, but if we could get a quality head coach to go with him it might work.

Think Doug King will get it.

Surely it’s Pendrey and Telfer?

 

[lordsummerisle]

Steve Austin, but will cost six million dollars to get him in.
