Director of football

[steveinblack]

I heard a rumour tonight that we've appointed a FOD to be announced in the next few days, someone from Yeovil.

[C.V]

Isnt that meant to be DOF not FOD if it is the case perhaps that could be a good thing Yates needs a little help.Perhaps this person could get us back on track and its someone that Yates can bounce new ideas of.

You may recall that I suggested a director of football about a week ago
I would much rather spend the money on another player
It perhaps give a bit of assurance if management walk but it can also be interference

Personally I am against Directors of football at this level
The manager needs to be able to meet the transfer targets and convince them
Sure PB cannot do it all but I still think it is nothing more than a rumour at this stage
Funny nobody mentioned it yesterday in JPs webchat

That would be madness. Yates' strength is his signings!

[RegencyCheltenhamSpa]

Hmm

[Robin]

What would be their responsibilities? Hopefully not signings as Yates is strong there, we need a coach to organise the team in my opinion.

[R_Payney]

Yates would be a good DOF

[51/84]

no he would not

[Ralph]

looks like we need something...

I heard someone from Gillingham. Family connections with the club.

[cheltsaxon]

Cotterill was their today be nice position for him!

[Uppy]

If SC was there then I'd want him doing the motivating.

[kags]

Heard it was Ron Atkinson..

[Robin]

We need someone who can organise the team, evident yet again today.

[dave]

Cotterill back at the helm by the end of November...

[Malabus]

We need someone who can organise the team, evident yet again today.

Thats not the job of a DOF.

DOF deals with off the field issues: transfers e.t.c.

[Robin]

Exactly the one thing nobody can deny is Yates can spot a player but he in my view he struggles to mould a team into a well oiled unit.
