The Prophet Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 (edited) From Hope: "Newcastle are set to appoint a new performance director AND sporting director, we can exclusively reveal. Dougie Freedman remains the frontrunner for the role of sporting director and it is expected there will be progress once the season has finished. That post will have a recruitment focus and German Johannes Spors has also been spoken to. However, the club are also looking to install a performance director as their behind-the-scenes restructuring continues in the wake of Dan Ashworth’s exit."

Jack27 Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Just now, r0cafella said: What is a performance director meant to do? This follows the model at several Premier League clubs, where a performance director oversees the likes of science, medicine, psychology and performance analysis. Newcastle are determined to improve an injury record that has disrupted their season and seen them record the most days missed of players in the top-flight.

He had the choice of being at the Newcastle game so surely that shows a firm intention to stay put And I'm not referencing your mighty victory in winning the Northumberland Senior Cup here!
