Rice, stir fry, popcorning, is Unai Emery the new Gordon Ramsey? Please get back on topic.

Well its heavily rumoured we are looking for a Director of Football.

Any rumors on who?

Any rumors on who?

Joe Royle, which wont go down well, but would be a bad appointment in my eyes and Marc Overmars who I have no idea about, as a DoF.

Joe Royle and Marc Overmars (currently in same role at Ajax) are the 2 names doing the rounds atm.

I know little about the role or its potential benefits/detriments, so that's interesting to know. Thanks.

Director of Football or not, though, I think Emery is the best option on the table.

Manager will surely want to buy players in his own accord. Unless you share the roles like de Boer and Overwars at Ajax. Emery will not want a DOF to deal with transfer for him surely.

Does Emery want to leave Sevilla?

Only he can answer that and I suspect he will shortly.

Emery works very closely with one,in fact I read a piece about them being best buds.

 

[bernie inn]

Ideally we'd want to get both

 

[KevMirallas]

Reading more about this fella. He seems like the real deal.

It's going to be very difficult, but not impossible, to persuade him to leave Sevilla. If we can convince him to come here then the club's done a brilliant sales pitch. If we can get him it's a real coup.

This is the man who has been viewed as being the saviour if sevilla over the years, their sporting director referred to as Monchi

I think a DOF would only ever work if the DOF and manager know/liked each other. You cant really just throw one in and hope for the best.

He has done everything he realistically can do there so its not out of the question.
