Wolves Turn to Hull's Lee Darnbrough in Search for New Sporting Director Exclusive - Wolverhampton Wanderers are continuing their search for a new sporting director, with Hull City head of recruitment Lee Darnbrough high on their wish list. Wolves lost former director Kevin Thelwell back in February as he left to take up a role as head of sport with New York Red Bulls, and they have been looking for a suitable replacement ever since. A source has confirmed to 90min that Wolves' preference is to maintain a British presence in the boardroom, and a number of different candidates have been discussed. One name which keeps cropping up in talks is Darnbrough. Darnbrough, who has been with Hull since 2017, has previously spent time with West Bromwich Albion, Burnley and Norwich City and is seen as someone with a deep knowledge of the British transfer market. He is credited with helping Hull land exciting young talents like Reece Burke, Jordy de Wijs and Leonardo da Silva Lopes, while he was also the man to bring Tom Heaton and Michael Keane to Burnley, and his talent spotting and ability to broker deals has earned Darnbrough an impressive reputation within football. https://www.fotmob.com/embed/news/6...mGPm1LiWTUZzERrdS0f12V6LgfXXkU1xVE_97KolAW15Q
Wolves don't appear to be mugs though, can't see why they'd be after him if he was as bad as he seems to have been while he's been here.
I think LD is another one who works with what he's given - leaving us to go to a progressive Premier League team might suggest he's not nearly as bad as he's made out to be.
WTF?!?! No, no, no.....there are some fantastic players out there and he keeps getting us these cheap ones because he's doing it to spite us.
They really want a Grant McCann as manager & Ehab to take over as Chairman, so he can sort out contract negotiations & save them money. After all, we’re the best run team in the Country, possibly World. They also want the 90 million Sheffield Wednesday fans too!
I don't know Lee D, but let's not forget he can only do what Ehab allows, so I am sure his hands are tied to a large degree. If you were him and had a choice, would you prefer to be shopping in Waitrose or Lidl?
-> I don't know Lee D, but let's not forget he can only do what Ehab allows, so I am sure his hands are tied to a large degree. Best not turn this into a sexual preferences thread. Remember, these boards are monitored. -> If you were him and had a choice, would you prefer to be shopping in Waitrose or Lidl? I quite like(d) shopping at Waitrose tbh, but shouldn't that be OT?
Maybe they are impressed with his implementation of the Hull city style and the 4-3-3 formation. His linkedin profile must look alot better than our league position.
