Problem with a DOF is you have to wait six or seven years before you can judge if he’s a good one... think about the money that is wasted in that time.. with a manager you can get shut after two or three years if he’s no good and bring in new players with the new manager.. much better system and less wastage.. when a new manager comes in you just keep the good players he’s bought and the gets rid of the previous managers rubbish players...Absolutely back that model when it's done properly (ie the DoF actually has authority to make decisions). We've never had that.
