BlueStar Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Sounds like just paper talk for now to be honest, "apparently", "seems", "could" I'd wait until there's some quotes before getting too worked up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
madras Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 even if it were true it would depend on his remit. no-one actually knows what wise's remit was or gordon milnes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I do feel that the DOF system can work, but there has to be a lot of trust between manager and DOF, and preferably they should already have experience of working in partnership together. Appointing two strangers seems very hazardous. So Dalglish / Shearer may be okay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Seems strange for the club to say they're not replacing Wise then two weeks later replacing him. Still, this would be even more evidence that Shearer is here for the long haul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frazzle Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I can't remember the exact words but didn't they say they had 'no plans' to appoint a replacement? I'm sure that was a peace offering with the fans. If we do get a DoF, it'll be Shearer's man fo' sho! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE5 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 fancy title for a chief scout, accountable to the manager, chosen by the manager. This is how it should always have been, and if it had been, there would never have been a problem with it. Arthur Cox would and could have done the same job for Keegan, and when he left it was the final indicator to me that Keegan wouldn't be far behind him walking out the door.

macphisto Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 Dalglish signed a load of s***, but also Given, Speed, Solano and Hamann. Some gems. I would say Dalglish had a the better record in the transfer market than any other manager since he left. As well as the four above he also bought Tommason (fair enough not a succes here but a good player) and Dabizas (who was alright for the price).

Yep, and the main reason for the likes of Pinas, Serrant, Brady, etc. were because we had no reserve squad at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ally Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 A DoF isn't the worst thing in the world providing he's chosen and appointed by the manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 The original TSM's days were not fondly remembered as he tried to bring in his own players to replace the Entertainers. But you certainly can't knock his record having won titles with 2 different teams. If he is here to share his experience and AS can remain his own man, it may be a good plan after all. AS with his stature, Dowie providing the modern scientific ways of training and TSM for his wealth of knowledge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 dalgleish started the rot, horrible manager if the club doesn't have the resources took the club from 2nd to almost getting relegated in 12 months, that's worse than what the other manager's in recent time have done got rid of ferdinand, asprilla and replaced them with tomasson and andersson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never stood a chance though after having to shoulder most of the burden that season due to various factors. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnypd Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 wouldn't be the worst idea, get him in to cover some of the administrative stuff that would just end up distracting shearer - maintaining the scouting network, dealing with youth football, contracts etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
samag Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 At the end of the day as long as the manager picks who is going to be the director of football, then it may work. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
