Moyes - technical director, head of scouting.

Dein - DOF.

Joe - can do anything he wants.

Simples.

NO ONE wants him anywhere near the club in any capacity apart from himself and kenwright.

.....I suppose it's what you make of it. My view is that it should be a person who is really good at identifying talent, almost a super scout. He works in tandem with the Manager who tells him the types of player he needs for his team, they agree on individuals and the DoF makes the transfer happen.

I can see it working but only if the Coach and DoF work in an integrated and joined-up way.

Haha. I agree, MightyMOYES.

I'd hate him to return.

Exactly like this....... players rated and scouted within an inch of what they do on the pitch, manager asks for something and the DoF goes and sources it based on the knowledge of the market.

Monchi pulls out his phone and, carefully reducing the image so the names can’t be seen, says: “That gives us this.” A colour-coded spreadsheet shows players by position. Around 250 potential targets, in all positions. “The manager says: ‘I want a left-back who averages 11km a game, runs 800m at full speed, uses both feet.’ And from these, 10 will fit.”
