Parky Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Taken from the BBC website Liverpool have appointed ex-Tottenham director of football Damien Comolli as their director of football strategy. The 38-year-old Frenchman was sacked by Spurs in October 2008 after three years at the club and later joined French outfit St Etienne as sporting director. He will begin work with Reds owner John Henry and boss Roy Hodgson immediately. "I am delighted to be joining Liverpool and look forward to working with John and Roy," said Comolli, who also spent seven seasons as a scout at Arsenal. "I think we all realise there is a big job ahead, but we all share the vision that John has for rebuilding the club and bringing back the success that the supporters deserve." Since succeeding Rafael Benitez as Liverpool manager last summer, Hodgson has endured a difficult start to life at Anfield. His side were knocked out of the Carling Cup by Northampton, won only one of the first eight Premier League matches this season and were in the relegation zone until Sunday's late victory at Bolton. "I am looking forward to working with Damien whom I have known for many years," said former Fulham boss Hodgson. "We are engaged in an exciting project here and he will bring a lot to the table. We all want to see moves to strengthen the squad and support player development over the next few years. "John Henry and I are totally united in delivering on that ambition." Henry's New England Sports Ventures (NESV) group completed a £300m takeover of Liverpool in October and the American indicated Comolli's appointment could be the first of several." On the surface it looks like a good appointment, don't really know that much about him apart from the fact he was an ace scout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

1878 Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Commoli isn't as bad as some people make him out, he did make some really good signings at Spurs. He also had his fair share of flops though and certainly isn't the reason they are doing so well right now which he tries to claim all the credit for. He likes to play the political game. I don't see this ending well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Parky Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 Didn't Comolli have a job at Arsenal once? Think he was one of their main scouts for a few years Was with Wenger at Monaco and then taken to the arse as Eur scout. Tricky one this, there are many permutations.

Parky Posted November 3, 2010 Share Posted November 3, 2010 If Liverpool use him in the right way I think it might just work out for them unfortunately. First sign that they are going the cheap route with youth development and all that guff. Personally I think his main job will be overlooking the transition from Hodgson to the next manager.
