Director Of Football?

[Blades-7]

What does this meen? What does a 'Director Of Football' do exactly? Whats the point having one? Isnt it just being a manager with a fancy name?

The general idea is that the director of football looks after the budget, and allocates money for transfers and the youth academy which leaves the manager to look after the day to day running of the club, the picking of the team, and the decisions about tactics and training.

See THIS THREAD

The director of football is answerable to the board but there to assist the manager. He's experienced in football and there to help the board members who don't have that experience.

A bit like a buffer between the two.

The manager is generally left to look after the players, teamwork, tactics, fitness, picking the team etc... but also with advise (but not demands) from the DOF.

Director of football is usually responsible for the budgets and making sure they are adhered to. Both at a first team and youth/academy level.

Hi All

Robbo as Directorof Football means no pay out and he can't go and get another job on a big wage and be getting paid twice. I think!!!

Hi All

:hello:

Robbo as Director of Football means no pay out and he can't go and get another job on a big wage and be getting paid twice. I think!!!

But would he really want to take that position when he could possibly go elsewhere and be a manager? Would it be an admission from himself that he possibly isn't cut out to be a manager?

Robson as Director of Football? I wouldn't employ him directing traffic, selling hotdogs, or obtaining semen samples.

"i think the lads looked solid today " at least they where varnsihed

Director of Football, Robbo couldn't direct traffic.

No its McCabe thinking he has a name that has a bit of 'bling' in the football world to help with the global thing.

Mind yer Robbo might as well do somat for his ££££'s , just keep him out the way.

 

[shorehamview]

At least if he is kept on as Director of Football the club could take advantage of his undoubted many contacts in the game, rather than just sacking him and giving him the remainder of his salary anyway.

 

[Blades-7]

yeh, if robbo can do one thing, its bringing big named players, that would have never have come under warnock

Just before our senior managers / failed directors get the chop they are made "Special Projects Manager / Director". 3 months later they've gone.

Thats what a Director of Football will be at BDTBL.
