Who's next after Brands?

[Drumblue]

Ed Woodward, good experience at United, ready to take the next level.

The kitman.....

 

[Theoneandonly]

If we're linked with Frank McParland or Owen Brown, they are Rafas guys.

 

[barneygumble]

I think its more Klopp than anyone else... but who knows.

Klopp isn’t the one selling dross for mass profit.

Klopp may well be making the results, but he only goes with what he’s got.

Like it or not, they’ve spent less than City, United and are still competitive. Joined the business as soon as FSG came in and been a huge part.

No guarantees we’re actually going for a Sporting Director either if rumours are to be believed.

Benitez' ego won't allow a DOF to come in.

 

[Nymzee]

Whoever Benitez's best mate is.

 

[Misa]

My question is, what happens if the DoF gets it wrong? Who is the DoF to the DoF? DoFs also get sacked or quit. What if their vision is wrong and the continuity is of failure and not success? I don't have an answer to this, I just feel the obsession to having one and thinking it will automatically translate to success is naive and the reason simplistic.

Emanalo for me, he has shown he can totally rebuild a club, his work at Chelsea was impressive and he also showed integrity when offering his resignation when Morinho was offed a return to Chelsea.

Ashworth talking to Barcodes...... As per BBC

 

[blue61]

Whoever Benitez's best mate is.

@davek then?

 

[Bigduke1234]

Benitez as he moves to DoF when his contract is up end of next season. He will also oversee his replacement. ?

 

[Toffeelover]

Benitez is now consolidating his position as supreme leader.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Have actually worked with Dan Ashworth on a professional basis and he's a genuniely intelligent, thoughtful individual.

 

[Terrarian]

None, pointless when not allowed the control they need to do their job.

 

[Eggsyblueskin]

Just appoint Joorabchian and make his position official.

 

[Legend78]

I would just let Benitez run things.. that way if he fails nobody else can be blamed but him.. these DOF people waste more money than managers just look at what Walsh and Brands wasted.. at least if a manager comes in and is not performing you can sack him,, what happens if the DOF is poor.. all that happens is the manager in charge gets blamed and the DOF gets a walkover....
