Can anyone tell me what David Weir has done at Brighton that stands out? Spent 200m net in the summer and I wouldn’t say they’ve improved.
It's hard to tell generally what a DOF does. And it varies a lot from club to club. Especially at Brighton where it looks like it's a club where the DOF has less of a role in recruitment than at other clubs I think. Personally I think a lot of Brighton's signings from last summer will come good, but it's debatable what role Weir had in recruiting them
 

I thought he did a decent job. Never really understood the people who have really strong negative opinions about him.

Never felt like a big enough character in the role and perhaps his quiet/awkward persona hurt him a bit.

Going to be a crucial appointment for the incoming DoF. Get the Chief Operating Officer in soon, then straight onto the new DoF.
Agree, I think DoF is one of those positions people love to hate

He managed well during a difficult time, the odd dud (maupay) but most of his recent signings have been good, Ndiaye, JOB, mangala etc, even Beto is scoring goals now, a lot of people forget that players can take time to settle
 
Im a little wary of too much turmoil personally.
Thought he had done enough to warrant seeing what he could do with a bit more leeway in the transfer market.

I’d hoped for some stability with the new owners but having seen their approach to managers & CEOs at Roma, now this, I fear we may be in for a bumpy ride ahead.

Moyes 2 years left at end of the season*…..
New football operations lead and likely re-structure incoming…..
New CEO & board in coming….
½ the first team squad out of contract…
Dodgy lights on the new stadium……(this ones a joke dummy’s)

It’s bold if nothing else, but after the mayhem of Mosh, can’t we just see what works in normal conditions before making wholesale changes?

*despite the short nature of the contract, this departure makes me think Moyes has offered an a opinion on the role. Wonder if he thinks he can do a SAF mk2 with us?
 

????

Why can't you just say why you don't like the job he has done?

Christ.
I reckon part of it is this…
….i know Mick a little, he’s a proper football lad and knows a player. Fine footballer himself. Thats the important thing.
Thelwell only made it to a semi-professional level as a player so he’s decided Thelwell has no place in football. Ridiculously antiquated view of the sport.
