KaKa Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I get the feeling this guy is just involved with a bunch of other stuff, and doesn't really know what the hell is going on at the club. Problem is, he only employs people he deems his friends, and therefore people he supposedly trusts. Most of these lot are clueless about football though. Really don't think he isn't trying to get players. I think he does provide a budget. Llambias was just a ball busting strong headed roulette spinning punk, that always had to win each deal, while Joe Kinnear was just taking advantage, and getting a free ride. The only time someone sensible was involved was under Mort, and things went okay then. Mort was a good communicator and a decent PR man. But it was his strategic review of the club that led to the club implementing a structure that had a DOF and, of course, Dennis Wise getting that role. There wasn't really much wrong with that structure in theory. The appointments however were all wrong. Exactly, so he had one friend that was sound in Mort. The structure was then a good idea, but when he then had to hire people for it, and therefore put more of his friends in the job, the rest of them were all morons. Just hope that he eventually just accepts that he can hire people that he doesn't necessarily know, and they'll do a much better job than his dumb friends.

alexf Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 They don't need to replace Kinnear now. They don't want to spend any money and they sold the guy they've been desperate to for the past year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NUFC Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Wasn't the structure: Mort - Chairman Llambias - Deputy Chairman Wise - DOF Jimenez - VP Player Recruitment? Mort stepped back to his legal practice and Llambias moved up? Llambias was appointed Deputy Chairman on 5th May 2008 Mort stepped down on 17th June 2008 as he was on a years secondments from his law firm & Llambias was appointed Managing Director on the same day.

Guest reefatoon Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd hate to have LLambias back. The prick was as big a cancer at the club as Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'd hate to have LLambias back. The prick was as big a cancer at the club as Ashley. I agree though there is certainly an argument that says he was starting to perform adequately taking last January's window into account. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 he was an unlikeable asshole but it did look like he was getting better at it and learning from mistakes and provided an actual direction that while you might not agree with and it certainly could be too strict transfer wise it at least made sense. Whats the direction and vision for the club now? Who's making that kind of decision? Who does Pardew answer to? Who's in charge of the final say on ins and outs now that the morons gone? Pardew?

Dave Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I think the DOF structure is a good one TBH, just putting someone competent in the job seems impossible. Particularly when your shortlist is useless cockney pricks who'll accept a pittance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest chopey Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I can't believe that Kinnear was that bad that some people would consider taking Lambshite back, I seem to remember rumours last year that the only reason the 5 transfers got "over the line" was because Ashley personally stepped in to negotiate.
