Possible Director of Football

[Mogwai]

I love Mochi....

Since when did we all decide we so desperately need a DoF?

Put it this way, who would you prefer to represent Everton when we look to acquire top class talent

Monchi - a man credited with being a transfer guru signing top players for Servilla or....

Suntan Bob ?

If Everton win this battle it'll be the biggest statement of intent possible IMO.

How much compo do you reckon we'd need to pay Derby for Harry Redknapp?

think Harry has one eye on a return to soton. not sure where his other eye is looking.

He isn't exactly reknowned for his success in the transfermarket when it comes to unearthing first team players. Does get a lot of criticism on that part.

Apparently has a good eye for bringing in youth players though.

See link below and scroll halfway down for his transfer record. Article is from last year mind you.

I'd rather we pass on this one. Too risky imo

Tbf. We don't know exactly what role the DoF will take. It may not be so much drawing up lists of players for the first team - that could very well still be down to the manager. It could be more overseeing the general direction of football at the club, being the negotiator when the manager says 'get me that player', instilling an 'Everton way' that traverses the first team and the academy, etc etc. Perhaps Overmars is extremely good at what we want from a DoF.

Seems to know his stuff this guy

Would be my guess but I'm shockingly out of the know.

theres so many itk's lately that i think it would make it easier if those of us out of the know could identify ourselves

Like a lot of people, I am still not sure what the heck a Director Of Football is supposed to do. Is he the mediator between the guys in suits and the guys in tracksuits? Is he the one who sits in an office and basically plays "Football Manager" all day on his lap top - then passing on his instructions to the real manager, like some dictatorial self proclaimed genius? Is he the "Official" spokesman/representative of the club? Is he our negotiator in all transfer dealings? Is he all of these things, or none of them? Does he direct the football like a film director directs a movie? Where does he stand in the hierarchy? It all seems rather nebulous to me, and without some predefined structure and specifics in place, where it is set in stone as to everyone's role, this whole thing could fall apart pretty quickly, especially when results are bad and blame is allotted.

I doubt the hackey gazzette journo has the inside track on that.

I understand the appeal with Monchi. I'd be very happy having him as DoF....but all other suggestions seem desperate and unessecary.

 

[Taff]

After we left everything up to our previous manager and did splendidly.

His signings weren't our biggest problem...infact, there were plenty of good ones.

And before him Moyes also had plenty of good signings.

A DoF won't eradicate the bad signings.

If the reports of PSG wanting him and Emery then it might be the case.

I haven't even seen anyone in the frame besides him and Overmars. Maybe Leonardo will come from PSG if Monchi goes there

Looks bad this, emery going to PSG will surely want monchi to follow him. Let's face it PSG are regulars in the champions league and they can match any financial package that Everton offer. Moshiri was ready to admit defeat to koeman, likes hope he is up for the 'fight' with PSG over monchi.
