Aye, well fuck what Wilder wants. I think most fans want to see a modern club.

Wilder has publicly said he has no problem working with a Director of Football.

When? A DOF typically means he’d be a head coach, which he wouldn’t want to work as. He wants full rein.

 

[staton]

He refused to work with the Princes' Jan Van Winkel. Didn't play Retsos who became a greek international and top Bundesliga player. He fell out with the one at Middlesbro and wouldn't use the players{Forss and Hoppe) he signed for him. They sacked him!

Hope it's somone a bit sharper than Tinnion, he's not a popular fella at Ashton Gate

On working with a Director of Football:

"I work within a group and a structure. Ultimately, I have to be comfortable with players I am working with. Every manager will say that. But I am flexible, too. As long as we have a shared plan and strategy I am totally fine with it."

On demanding full rein:

“I know there is a lot of talk about me wanting to absolutely run everything. Well, that is absolute nonsense. I just want to work with good people who have the same vision and ideas and that’s how I see a football club running."

Key point there is “how I see a football club running”

 

[staton]

HE wants to appoint and direct the DOF in other words.

That has never been Wilders issue.

Jesus lads, come on.

 

[Rodley]

Tinnion’s got a decent write up from Bristol City fans TBF.

He wants a DoF who agrees with him. Which the won't

In other words, yeah, I'll work with a DoF, as long as they agree with me.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

As opposed to all those managers who want to work with a DoF who disagrees with them?

 

[Bladesman]

In other words, yeah, I'll work with a DoF, as long as they agree with me.

As long as everyone is doing what he says then he is fine with a DOF.

I struggle to see how our owners saw how much better we were than Bristol city in the semis and say I want some of that!

Bit of a leap between lines of thinking there

 

[Ron_Justice]

FWIW, could CW actually become the DoF?

Fuck me, at least the Bristol City fans will be happy

Combine that with the Bristol city fans views! I was reading them thinking well at least they made the play offs but the gulf was pretty huge let's be fair!

He worked with a Sporting Director at Watford.

Didn't sign any players though

You want to put him in charge of signings?!

 

[Moan? Nope-I saw Longhorn]

Just seen what?

Blank space
Like most all of the rumours

 

[Ron_Justice]

No. Absolutely not. That needs a specialist team, with deep data and plenty of eyes on experience. But as the person who shapes the style, value, tone, is the media face of the club, shapes the footballing strategic overview for the club. I dunno, just a thought.
