New DOF

[irishtony1878]

Is there evidence of Moshiri "buying" players under the managers nose.
Or is this just one of our loveable posters own thoughts on the way its run?

For some of us he and Cahill are all we've had really. Neither would be considered anywhere near all-time greats obviously.

…I know & understand that Billy. For what it’s worth, I’m a huge Cahill fan, I wouldn’t have Ferguson anywhere close to him.

There have been media reports suggesting it. The Iwobi deal is the one usually brought up, but there were even rumours last week with the El Ghazi signing. I think the fact Benitez didn't even bother to bring him on at 2-1 down suggests he didn't want him.

So with the reports(all be from click bait media) that we want a new DOF and that Brighton’s Dan Ashworth, would we be happy with him?

We already have one.

While he's still here nothing changes.

David Weir is Dan Ashworths Assistant Technical Director, so unless Weirs reason for not coming to us was connected to Benitez surely Ashworth wouldn't join us either?

 

[MikeH72]

Won’t mean anything when Moshiri brings in Mourinho and allows him to sign Nemanja Matic for £30m.

 

[DrEFC]

Yeah, that wasn't what I meant mate. The point was that the team Koeman inherited at Southampton was a bit like when Martinez inherited Moyes's team. It was well-drilled and in a good state.

I get you ?

Apologies for the ignorance, I sped through this thread trying to catch up, have we/or is there a decent source that we've enquired about Ashworth?

There's an argument that if he's not, the firing of Benitez immediately after selling one of our best players and bringing in 3 new ones is even more insane.

I don't think Moshiri comes out of it great either way, to be honest.

 

[Wrighty]

we're in a F*kinmess not a single person in the right mind is giving up decent job at any club in the prem to become DOF of this mess we call our club.

No

 

[Nymzee]

You 100% need a DoF in modern football.

For more than double the salary, let’s wait and see

with Iwobi he may have a friendship with him due to his Arsenal connection, but what reason would he have with El Ghazi?

Or, Weir sees a chance to get a job promotion with Brighton, with his boss coming to us !?!
