Ally Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Would be a great move, but I shudder to think who we'd appoint. Shearer probably. Could do with a Chief Executive too so that Fat Boy isn't Chairman and CE, don't think that happens at any top club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest thompers Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 We won't get the right man for that job either. Some washed out old has-been player that's never been a DOF in his life, imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlin Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Good long term idea. Not really interested in seeing it happen now though, as it'll just buy Shepherd more time to **** things up. Agree totally - Shepherd must go before ANY major decisions are taken about the future Coaching/Management of the club ; it is a waste of time & money to bring people in now unless the current regime are NOT going to sell - in that case, they are going to have an unhappy set of fans, and a battle of attrition .......

Mr. Slugworth Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 If Fred is clever (which he isn't) he'd realise that he has a big fucking fight on his hands to maintain the current status quo, as the fans won't put up with this shite any more. If Sir John and Dougie want to cash in, Fred will lose his majority and with the fans against him, he might as well try and cut his losses. In that case, he can 'add value' to the club by putting a few measures in place to make it more attractive to potential investors i.e. Doug Ellis appointing MO'N. One such measure would be to appoint a good D of F. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Slugworth Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 If results don't improve, who's for moving Glenn upstairs and bringing in someone like Alan Curbishley?? It'd be a shame imo as Glenn is an excellent coach. Would have been better to bring in someone like Houllier in the summer and appoint Glenn as his assistant...

Bringing in Houllier as DoF and moving Roeder back to run the Academy would be a better option imho. Curbishley (I think) is possibly the best English example of an English manager who would encompass the idea of a DoF. The best options would be from the continent simply because they are more used to the concept. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
