He really needs a General manager in there with football savvy who has been in and around the game and knows how to exploit its various demands.

 

I've never fully understood the concept that this sort of person exists. What sort of person are you thinking of?

 

Gerard Houllier.

 

Be Perfect for the Role

 

The second things go a bit wrong though it's 'Houillier's replacing Hughton', - this happens all the time in this situation. Even happened with Avram Grant at a club like Chelsea when everyone thought he was a no-hoper, although I know he's good mates with the Russian.

Very Good Manager would fit the director of football/general manager role well

Kenyon, Gill, Dein, Parry (as was).. etc I assume?

 

Isn't Llambias just a monkey who has run a casino?

 

All the cheap lads?  Not going to happen.

 

Just guessing who Parky had in mind. Not those exact people but someone to do the job here as they do (have done) at their clubs. :)

I think having a general manager or DOF is simply the best way to run a club. f you look at many big continental clubs (Actually, US sports are probably the best example, the managers change all the time, but the transfer strategy remains in place because those who handle this aspect of the team are still in place. IT smooths out transition periods and allow you to take advantage of the transfer market if you do it correctly.

Undermining the proper manager.

If you're saying Hughton needs someone like him, that's kind of undermining the manager in itself, isn't it?

I don't want a DoF. Some people about the club who know anything about fucking football would help though, rather than casino managers.

 

I know exactly what you mean, and probably agree with you too.  But as I say, I just can't think of anyone to answer the 'like who' question.

Someone like Denns Wise would be perfect for us. Knows the game well, has contacts, good business brain, experience of management etc. Get the little shit in Ashley.

I'd love to see someone like Jack Charlton at the club but not as a DOF, more a chief executive like Bobby Charlton is at Man Utd.

 

The role doesn't have to be technical though. It would just be nice to have a knowledgable local fella in a high position who has the clubs best interests at heart, as an advisor to the board and perhaps even a representative in transfers or within the media (a face if you like).

 

SBR would have been amazing in this role, RIP.

I doubt his health would hold up to it now. Canny concept though.

I'd love to see you post some sense for once. Re: the bold part of your post.
