Possible Director of Football

[streeky]

Looks like Monchi has done a complete u turn and is now staying in Seville. Possibly more to run with this if Emery goes to PSG he may reconsider ?

It's gonna be Moyes isn't it?

I'd prefer it if they didn't get one. Best let the manager have control over signings.

I would think the club will fill this post as quickly as they can. Koeman as always worked with one as far as I know. Be very interesting to see who gets it.

Depends on how the new manager wants to work. If it's Koeman then a DoF makes sense. If it's someone who doesn't want one then don't force it on them

Any new manager most likely wouldn't have had a choice moshiri clearly has a clear defined plan for the structure of the club & director of football was muted even if mourinho took charge.

The DoF role is far more than this when done properly. It seems to have a negative connotation around PL managers not able to work with one because they somehow have players forced on them. It doesn't , or shouldn't , work like this . If we can get a top DoF then it will be the final piece in the jigsaw for the structure of our club, putting everything in place from majority shareholder, DoF, Manager, coaches, Academy director , academy coaches etc. Very few managers create a legacy that extends once they've gone , DoF s have the opportunity to shape our structure for years to come .

Here in America a general manager is common place in the NFL and works very well. For instance look what John Elway was capable of doing for the Broncos. A GM or DoF would would side by side with a manager. In the NFL teams have tried giving managers the full control and it rarely works out well. I like the idea of a DoF

Why?

He prefers coaching to signing players. He has never handled a contract negotiation in his life. He thought Fergie was calling to 'tell him he has taken one of our players off him' .

Totally incorrect statement.

You may all laugh, but I understand its a possibility.

"Monchi au PSG ne seraient plus qu’une question d’heures."
According to some in the French media it's only a matter of hours before Monchi and Emmery are at PSG. He's not coming to us unfortunately but perhaps he wouldn't have had a good relationship with the spiky RK anyway. I expect Overmars name to be back in the frame strongly now given the Dutch flavour at the club.

Anyway, whilst Monchi would be my first choice, Moyes wouldn't be a bad DOF if you could get past the ego.
