Not keen on either, tbh. We should be scouting the next Grealish or picking up a 25 year old Soucek alike from Europe somewhere. Fed up of paying top dollar for over the hill "premier league proven" players. We've been doing that for years and...

How it should work 1: DOF is hired 2: DOF appoints a manager which 'fits' the club strategy e.g playing style, mentality etc 3: Manager discusses player recruitment with DOF and gives him the specifications on what he's looking for 4: DOF...

But the reality of football is there are very few managerial dynasties these days and a player on a 5 year contract will likely see 2-3 different managers. You can pay off a manager but not a team. So a DoF is there to form a coherent squad...

You get it backwards. Club should hire managers who play a certain style. England is an outlier where managers have signed the players. Everywhere else you have head coaches who don't sign players (they often do have input, though).

I'm just concerned about his recruitment record since leaving. It's absolutely monstrous and extremely short term. We have to hope he has got a backroom role lined up because i dread to think of him signing short-term stopgaps.

Yes, this is why the DOF is meant to sign players for the manager THEY appoint. Now we have Moyes...frightening.

Salah is 33, if they thought Doak was good enough to even be his cover they'd be keeping him given the 13 year age gap. They wouldn't be selling to us if they thought he could kick on to a high level, and they have his medical records. Even then...

If Alcaraz is worth 15m + - this one is worth 10m tops.

We really missed out by not getting 777 as owners. Friedkins are so boring with all this "stability" nonsense.

What a train wreck of a thread.

As a cancer patient myself ( terminal bone cancer spread from prostrate) being positive is a big thing I was told in December 2020 I had 12 to 18 months to live. But I've had that new ground to aim for, and the fact that I paid £3,000 for a...

I'd be gutted if we were linked with him if he played for another club

I dream about the stadium as it currently is. If we improve it in the future so be it but for now it’s almost a dream come true for me.

We can’t afford DCL. Too often injured, too inconsistent in both form and desire. He had his moments, but is best for him and the club to part ways.

Let him go. He’s not hungry enough. Get some new blood in.
