Ballague can truly fuck off with that kind of line of thinking. Man City's owners could have bought us but they bought a similar product in Man City for a lot less than what Ashley wanted and with none of the d1cking around and disprespect. Reckon they must be hard up then. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 I really like the fact that they are being very judicious with money, as it's a very strong stance right from the outset. From some of the links we've been seeing with players, it's very evident agents are gagging to rip us off. It's just so pathetic man. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 18, 2021 Share Posted November 18, 2021 Yeah, think that he'll be a great fit with Howe who apparently is quite particular about the people he works with, as they have to all be on the same page as he is. Emenalo is very diplomatic and not the sort of DOF that will be trying to interfere in the manager's business. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWN Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 So does a DOF recommend players to EH? Then if EH likes he try to get him? im old school sorry 😞 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yeah, I think ideally the manager states what kind of player he would like and the DOF suggest a number of potential options, and then they whittle down from there, and the DOF is then responsible for tying up the deal.

Superior Acuña Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 I get the impression the DoF gets a bigger say and is viewed as a longer term position - so managers come and go, but this should be less of a disruption as there'll be a longer term plan about the kinds of players we're bringing in.

Yes, best case is that both can work together to get the right players in. Like what happened at Liverpool. Also worth noting that Howe's title is head coach, not manager.

Whitley mag Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Campos still in running according to Echo. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/19727017.newcastle-united-searching-director-football/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikon Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Personally I would prefer Campos to come in for a more player oriented DoF and then someone more technical to be responsible of how everything is set up, the whole infrastructure of everything and the whole strategy to achieve whatever plan that's decided. My feeling is that Campos is better when it comes to player knowledge and contacts, meanwhile Emenalo might be better when it comes to infrastructure and setting up a short and long term plan together.

I’m sure I read somewhere that Campos is a control freak and usually wants absolute control. Not sure he’d be happy working with another technical director. I could be wrong however.

Ikon Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Yeah, true. I'm not exactly sure when it comes to what his exact role has been before apart from players. A DoF can really be a lot. Wouldn't mind him have total control on what players to sign for example, but there might be a lot of other stuff he would like to be in total control of. Having said that, I know that Emenalo has brought some decent players in too. Things will be better than before, that's for sure Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we've had some baldy speccy fella called Lee running the whole of the club on a shoestring budget for the last 8 years or so I'd imagine our next DoF will have his work cut out a lot more than if he was to go to Southampton for example.

Village Idiot Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 (edited) Our Technical Secretary, Ramon Planes, suddenly announced that he was quitting a few days ago, and now he's being linked with yous. Because if I'm looking for somebody working in transfer policy, I'll hire somebody from Barça. Nah, this guy is supposed to be actually quite competent. Laporta wanted to retain him, despite being a Bartomeu appointment. He's the guy that signed Pedri. Edited November 19, 2021 by Village Idiot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been talked about, but the roles are confusing me…is a technical secretary the same as a director of football…? Or if we appointed him, would we also get another as a DOF?

Village Idiot Posted November 19, 2021 Share Posted November 19, 2021 Over here a Technical Secretary oversees the transfer policy, he's under the DoF who oversees the entire sporting side of the organization. But a lot of times those job titles and organization are a bit muddy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
