His role seems very limited for DOF. It's basically a glorified head scout.

He's had a tough gig with lack of spending but we need someone to stamp a footballing identity on the entire club - from kids to first team.

I can't see any role for him after today.

Armstrong, for now. We have a lot of bright players in the U18’s. Not that you’ll have ever bothered to watch academy games to form your blasé opinion mind.

Has this fella been given a budget for January?
If so as he tried to get players and Moyes has said no?
Is the plan to get to the summer with limited spend?

Or is it pure incompetency from Thelwell?

I do...the good ones were sold recently to help us keep the light on.

So you don’t think a single player in our academy right now is a talent?

A talent for me is somebody that will become a top player in the pl...Gordon was the last one...Armstrong is a maybe at this stage...other than that, I do not see today anybody else. Yes a good few will probably end up making a living playing football.
