One of the names in the frame could be 'super scout' Eduardo Macia, who has been linked with us a few times since March this year. Man Utd also said to be interested.

Think he said everyone should stop being wools and just get on. Same goes for Palestine, Northern Ireland etc. Etc.

No idea why anyone would want to appoint a Director of Football. Is it just a 21st century name for Chief Scout?
But undoubtedly much better paid and over-hyped of course.

It's nothing of the sort mate.

It's nothing of the sort mate.

So what exactly does a Director of Football do?

My take is that they do all the negotiations / contracts / dealing with agents / arrange scouting / shmoozing etc. allowing the manager to get on with concentrating on the opposition / tactics / formation / coaching without all the faffy paperwork. I know which I'd prefer to do.

Sounds like a glorified admin job then. Surely the manager decides what type of player he wants and then takes advice from the Chief Scout (sorry, Director of Football) on who is available. I would assume all financial decisions of any magnitude are still taken by the Board.
