I like the concept of a small group of people acting collaboratively. There is too little time and too much information for the manager to do it, although they obviously have a pivotal role. The nod to data analytics in the new structure is...

The bedwetters aren't going to love the fact that recruitment responsibilities are so spread out. I do think that this structure works better for someone like Moyes who wants more of a say in stuff than others we've had here, without giving him...

While we’re on the subject of law and lawyers.

I have these concerns too but I guess in respect of Nick Cox his impact will be felt more over the longer term. He will not be part of this committee anyway if I'm correct. The Athletic piece suggested a further appointment, Head of Football...

I think that conundrum mate. It’s likely 50% of what we do this window is likely to be a compromise - a Walker or a Lindstrum, maybe even a Harrison for 5 mill subjectively. The other 50% should target progress and adding real quality to the...

I think they're doing a great job and I wish they did something similar 5 years ago when they took us over. Building a working, smart, deep, knowledgeable sporting sector is the key in today's football business. There's nothing else that...

I think this is the thing mate. Sure we all know theory, buy young players, high resale value etc, truth being for a player to cut muster at that profile, you’re looking at 15 -30 million. And 15 is kind because you are looking at a fixer...

It’s why we will see the Walkers, Walker Peters etc and loans if we can get them. If we are going to focus quality in certain areas, compromises or stop gaps will need to be made in others.

I agree to an extent but I don't think logistics are a factor even with a new transfer committee. My view is that Moyes will want to limit the amount of new players and not want to dilute the quality too much from the available budget. He has...

Coffee, doughnut then straight to my seat for me. Good game & a win, that's all I want. I appreciate lots of people aren't so lucky though & that some can put more money into the club than me by purchasing hospitality.

So............ Angus Kinnear is CEO. Nick Hammond - Head of Trading and Negotiating. Chris Howarth - Head of Strategy. James Smith - Head Of Player Identification Nick Cox - Technical Director. David Moyes - First Team Manager.

Obviously have to see how they pan out before going overboard but fair play to the new regime, the last couple of backroom additions have certainly been the type of thing you're hoping to see from the club.

That's two big hires from two of the biggest clubs in the league. Certainly seems very promising as far as the seriousness of the Friedkin operation goes.

According to the I we are closing in on a Head of Football Operations too (Dave Harrison?). Think technical director takes care of stuff like coaching, academy, medical etc whereas I imagine football operations is the more mundane officey /...

Rats, sinking ships and all that!
