Don't think Red Kev has done too much wrong as DoF if I'm honest.
While it was a bit uncomfortable watching some of our 'promising' youth players get sold, I was a refreshing change from anyone who didn't break into the 1st team going for free.
Time will tell if selling the like of ISS, Tom Cannon, Ellis Simms was bad business or not but it doesn't look to have been so far.

He certainly done less harm than the previous pair and shown himself to be a bit more sensible with the limited funds we do have.

I really rate him and the job he's had to do here.

The question mark is for me at least - is he a DoF who can excel in these circumstances but without severe restrictions would struggle.

Almost like is he the equivalent of a Allardyce, Dyche good in adversity, but that's their limit

It looks like he has good contacts and looks for the right player, Kudus and Minteh for example, and if funds were available those deals may have been a lot easier and quicker to close.

His job, has been nigh on impossible. Absent owner, huge financial problems, PSR issues, bloated squad of tat on huge wages etc etc. and people expect him to have done “better”?? LOL. He fully deserves a FAIR crack under more steady circumstances under new ownership. Whether he’ll get that remains to be seen. He isn’t their man at the end of the day and owners usually like to get their own people in. We’ll see.

While I quite like some of the work Thelwell has done, if you asked me if I’d rather spend £25m for Beto to sit on the bench, or have Cannon sit on the bench, I know which I’d pick.

Inclined to agree, but then again, he’s possibly also looking at it from PSR perspective, in which case those two transactions might have got us out of a hole, with little to no degradation to the squad.
 
Theres a well renowned DoF recently on the unemployment line who could at least be interviewed for the role surely if Thelwell isn't the man our new Overlords (at some point) to take us forward?

What does a DoF add to the club? I`d like to go back to the way it used to be and just have a manager that can oversee all the transfer work. It used to work fine back in the day and meant when things were going badly you didn`t have the argument on who`s fault it was we had so many bad players, manager or DoF.
It would be great to have to sack one person instead of 2.
