Chapo Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Dragged their heels sacking the grease barrel and appointing his successor. Looks to be the same case here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I get the impression there aren't too many hiring or people managers in corporate environments on our message board. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRD Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 1 hour ago, triggs said: In terms of finding players I think even if they came in now January wouldn't be enough time for a DOF to make a massive difference but a bit concerning maybe about who is going to be doing the negotiating in January if nobody does come in Most likely Howe since he basically runs everything at Bournemouth. Would be bad if new owners without knowledge in this area manage the negotiations. Think Staveley desperately needs support in CEO/ DOF helping to run the club though.

ianovthetoon Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It’s not implausible that the people they want in key roles are already attached to someone else. If that’s the case they wouldn’t be in a position to share until they have a signed contract. it’s not smoke and mirrors like the previous clown. They just want to make the right decisions for long term success. Timings etc probably have caught them out but I have faith they’ll get it right.

christ Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 The manager situation was a farce. This? Not so much. Investment in January is disconnected from the longer term plan a DoF would oversee. It’s all about keeping us up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hhtoon Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) You don't need a DoF to sign players or negotiate. It's an important role for the future but as long as Howe identifies who he needs then there will be people available to open talks. In a way, it might be beneficial in the short term not to have an extra person in the decision making as we'll need additions in quickly. Last thing we need is a DoF and Howe disagreeing on targets and getting bogged down! Edited November 24, 2021 by Hhtoon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPERTOON Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 We need someone in ASAP that will be responsible for negotiating and signing the deals off. We need to have players in as soon as the window opens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 It sounds like they're doing a lot behind the scenes, minus a director of football. They're still being advised by Benitez's lads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I think our situation going into January will depend a lot on the timing, if we’re out of bottom 3 and things are looking better, it’s a case of forging ahead with long term plans. If it’s not looking good they may well defer things until the summer. Eddie Howe will have a list of players he thinks would get us safe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 I imagine we'll be looking at loan signings not getting game time at other clubs (perhaps with option to convert to permanent deal providing we stay up) and a few dependable players Howe trusts will do a job for him for the most part anyway in January. Building for the longer term will start after January and for that it really doesn't matter all that much whether we finish in the bottom three or not.

The "Director of Football" post, has nothing to do with the CEO post. Different jobs, completely different functions within the organisation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
