Seem to remember Shez had Sean O'Driscoll as DOF here for a brief period.

 

Don't think we ever got the full story on that appointment, though.

 

That was actually under Steve Robinson. Seemed a sensible move at the time to have someone of O'Driscolls experience doing the player recruitment administration stuff while freeing up a younger man to get out on the Grass and work and coach the team.

Lee Turnbull did the player recruitment,

 

O'Driscoll just seemed to sit in the directors box for a couple of months and drive a club car before disappearing entirely

A terrible model that undermines the coach and therefore is not as effective building good teams. Also sure the dof’s of this world just state there role is needed to justify their wage. Stay clear, manager on 3-4 year deal, let him select who he wants and make the calls in and out. Owner to just replace the manger with another person who plays same way. Plus saves a wage.

Interested to know what everyone thinks about us getting/needing a Director of Football? 

Mo doesn't count as he was just a fucking dick, however it's my view that we need someone who is well respected and connected, to go and find the right players to get in on loan, and make decisions Sheridan is not qualified enough to do.

We can't afford to bring in the wrong players and Shez isn't well enough connected anymore to the big clubs to get the decisions right.

Maybe that's what Big Joe will do when the sale goes through.

Personally I think it's must if we are to have any chance of competing next season.

 

 

can imagine Shez's two word view on this
