director of football to be appointed in the summer

No because he is in charge of transfers as a whole... so negotiating, selling players and scouting

The Conversation wokrs like this i think....

DoF - Hello Mr Di Canio.. what positions are you interested in improving and what kind of players do you want??

Di Canio - i would like a left back and a fast paced RM if possible

DoF - What do you think of XXXX or what about XXXXX

Di Canio - Well im not sure about that.. hes not fast enough for my team

DoF- whould XXXXX fit into your team?

Di Canio - Yes please if he is cheap... can i ask if XXXXX is avalible too?? and can we Sell Bardsley

DoF - Ok....



and the transfers are negotiated...

 

ok so! i've never really had to deal with this concept before. what then becomes of the chief scout? obsolete?

edit - having had a piss and a tab i've got it, so your DOF basically acts to the best of his ability on the demands of the manager but also undertakes all dealings in the market thus to take away the pressures of the market to concentrate on teaching the players how to slay with the samurai? ish?

 

"Sunderland are expected to appoint a director of football to help Di Canio with player recruitment, as owner Ellis Short has been dismayed by the club’s lack of success in the transfer market.

Short is envious of local rivals Newcastle and their ability to sign relatively unknown players from France for a fraction of the money Sunderland have spent over the last few years.

Di Canio will still have a big say in which players arrive, but he will be guided by the person who fills the vacancy, with an appointment expected in the next few weeks."


From the Telegraph. Be interesting to see who comes in

I like the idea of it and Di Canio will still have a large say in things.

 

love ellis me! and i'm hoping for wighams shout ^ what a call mate, what a call

that is some batch of talent



ps, my question remains unanswered ^^^ and i slip into music mode around now, see you's in little bits

 

Cya mate and I'm pretty sure the answer to your question is yes, that's what they do

 

It means the DOF does all the leg work formulating shortlists to the head coaches specifications leaving the head coach to study oposition, desinging training routines, spending time with the players and all the things you want your head coach to be doing.

The DOF will hire a numerous scouts as well as networking with agents.

It's a fantastic idea. I understand people being sceptical as their's been a few clubs who have shown how not to do it but it's results across europe speak for it self.

 

just aswel i'm working from home 2moro, coz i'm with you (staying up and and getting mangled) still think i''m right but i'm gonna piss on the decking soon and i dont wanna slip
