Director of football?

[Pollingtonblade]

Last season maybe a DOF could have

• patched up a couple of disagreements between management and players
• highlighted our lack of height when some of the planned first choices got injuries/fell out of favour
• advised against McCarthy's no-training arrangement
• used contacts to help bring in a strong striker earlier than O'Grady/Davies
• used contacts to help bring in centre half cover towards end of season
• advised against spending that much money on Brayford
• improved relationship between manager and board, avoiding a rash sacking following a simple meeting (if rumours are to be believed)
• pointed out the correlation between poor performances and Baxter doing a physically demanding role

Do all DOF have to earn millions? It first and foremost has to be a genuine football man wanting the club to succeed, keeping an eye on trends, developing problem areas, making sure we're making good decisions long term.

A good shout for this would be someone like Glenn Hoddle.

So a DOF probably would have got us up then
