http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sp..._Canio_determined_to_have_a_say_in_transfers/ very good idea I think
Scouting team needs to be hired after they were all sacked too... be nice to steal them off Newcastle (we can all dream) As for s DOF - Damian Comoli could be the one for us.... - He did well at Spurs and Arsenal and also AS Monaco and AS Saint-Ãtienne - He has signed Berbatov, Bale, Modric, Assou Ekotto for Spurs and Thierry Henry, Robert Pires and Kolo Toure (plus others from the invinclible side of 2003) for Arsenal.... - I listened to an interview with him and He stated he wants to get back to an English side and "wants a challenge" and was told to buy all that crap at liverpool by kenny and "the King" wouldnt accept anyone else.... this ment he had to pay so much... - He speaks three languages fluntly and is known to specialise in central europe (which because of the resseasion is cheap source off players at the moment as we know with newcastle) - Out of the work for the last year he has been spending all the time scouting europe... which means he can immediatly come in and start signing players... so in the summer would be a great hire...
Director of football. We have had them all, comedy, horror, sexy and drama, in fact the last manager took all these roles in one.
DOF is a great idea really... if you think about it a manager isnt in the job for very long so them buying players will be short term normally.... if you have a DOF they can install a philosphy and buy players which suit the team... it means youth is also invested in alot more
We'll have to agree to disagree on this bollocks mate....Paolo or wh oever the manager is, dhould have a massive say in it.
I think he was much more involved in their purchases than that kidda and anyone who would sanction the buying of Andy Carroll for £35m; Henderson for £20m; Adam for £10m; Downing for isn't the kind of DoF that I think we need mate.
But I said he was part of it... just kenny told him to get the players and nobody else... this ment he had to just pay for what the clibs asked for... Also he has signed Bale,Modric,Henry, Pires and Berbatov.... is that not the kind of DoF we do need.
I think money will be extremely tight here and around football tbh next year as clubs look to reign in from excessive spending. We have posted a £30m and a £27m loss in the last 2 years and my guess is Ellis is looking to break even next season. One of the reasons we have PDC is he will have been told and have accepted, there simply isn't a bottomless pit whereas a more high profile manager would demand more.
Mr Comoli has spent the year scouting through all of the central european leagues... he will be able to find gems which are avalible
i dont know how to multi do posts as billy d does (anyone with the details please advise as it is certainly useful at times) I like your way of thinking wigham, forgive me but is that position not a scout rather than a DOF?
