You 100% need a DoF in modern football.
Okay shout at me, but we did have one until FSW threw his toys out of the pram.

Well, technically it would be better to appoint a DoF first and allow him to select the manager he would prefer to work with.
Admittedly this may not now be possible in our current situation, thanks in no small part to our previous manager,

Is there evidence of Moshiri "buying" players under the managers nose.
Or is this just one of our loveable posters own thoughts on the way its run?
I'm not convinced we need a DOF if we have a competent experienced manager in the role
However, if Dunc, Rooney or Lampard are the front runners for the managers gig then I think having a DOF to help them is a wise idea for the time being
Brighton are a well run club, so getting Ashworth in would seem to be a good appointment. As others have said though, it's not just giving him the job he has to also be allowed to do the job
It just common sense init. How can anyone expect a manager to negotiate contracts and transfers, scout players, run the youth setup from the top down all while coaching the team, analysing the opposition game to game, devising tactics and giving regular press interviews.
It's amazing in retrospect how a manager like Moyes did it as well as he did as we moved into the modern era.
What is the risk? I by no means think this club is too big to go down, but I also think its important to be objective based on the odds and injuries that have taken place over the season. Our current odds are at 12% to go down.we don’t have the time for that

Conflate that likelihood with a manager appointee working longterm, when he was hired while the board was in the midst of an internal review, with backroom staff having left beyond just Benitez over the last 2 months, and no Director of Football in place. The club has too and can afford to be diligent in establishing a hierarchy and hopefully a DoF prior to the summer. If we make a longterm hire before those things are in place we are simply repeating history (the definition of insanity) when he had an 88% chance of not needing too.
Everywhere Moyes has been he has had an extensive and expensively assembled backroom team that's why. West Ham have some of the best rated coaches and backroom team going. Game has changed in recent years and managers/head coaches simply don't have the time for off field stuff due to the amount of games, even more so if a team is playing in Europe. Gone are the days when managers could just nip off mid week to watch a player in a match somewhere.It just common sense init.

the risk is going down mate. you can’t wait for a dof then get a manager when results are needed
I don’t agree. It is a role that will not work with our club ownership.Yeah, and it just shows what a monumental bellend Moshiri is.
Everton need a DoF, and we need our owner to let said DoF do their job.

We don't know it was a Moshiri signingNothing will work with the current set up. What on earth was the signing of El Ghazi all about? Shows Mosh has learnt nothing.
