Just a suggestion.

[beightonblade]

Its clear sumats up at BDTBL.

So why hasn't McCabe hired a DOF?, given out terry the boot? and why oh why did he extend cheap as chips contract?

Why has so much money been wasted? Why is the team full of loan players?

Is McCabe going sooner rather than later ???

My suggestion wud be sort it McCabe sort it.

No problem.

My opinion wud be hire a DOF pronto, then sack our terry and cheap as chips.
If the DOF appointed was the reight one promote Speed to team manager.
Get sum new strikers proto and sort out Killa's contact.

Thats for starters.

 

[judge]

thanks for that

yep. i'm up for this too!!

Indeed, the DOF is proven to work in English football take the sterling job done at Newcastle recently, as for Speed as manager one day maybe. But I'd rather he did his learning in the managers seat at another club. I think the strikers we've got are ok just not enough of em, and I'd agree about Killas contract but don't think he'll sign owt til he sees where we are in January. As for McCabe I just wish he'd get on the message boards and local radio a bit more and slag us all off dudes !!!!!!

its the detal LA ...... the reight DOF !

With respect to your opinion, I don't agree. The appiontment of a director of football stinks of desperation and a lack of support in what the manager is doing. Its a short step from DOF to power struggles between manager and said DOF, that eventually splits the dressing room as each party keeps a clique of players "loyal" to them.

Hey BB have you approached KM to see if he'd sell you the club? Then you can pull your magic wand out and all our problems will disappear.

McCabe out BB in!!!

There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes at BDTBL things that am sure fans have no idea about like this massive wage bill were suppose to have ours must surely be one of the smallest now. I think blackies hands are tied i think the guy has a good record at the club and is now having to make the best out of a small squad good starting 11 but very average back up (france, reid, little etc etc). So have has now got the maximum amount of loan players and 2 what look like good strikers on trial players which i personally hope they sign. The point i am getting at is i don't see that as blackies fault, i do sometimes question his tactics but its the players who are on the pitch not him and saturday for example was a very poor performance by the players.

I'd suggest you should be banned for your previous comment.

I would also suggest that this is the wrong forum for you. If you want to be abusive. then you are in the wrong place my friend. Please go somewhere where you will be appreciatted.

A director of Football has never been proven to work.

McCabe said that he thought about this after Robson, but the role has now changed and Ron Reid has been tasked with overseeing the coaching at all of our interests to try and get a similar level of coaching at all of the clubs.

For me this is more along the lines of bringing through the academy talent, which will benefit us more.

The one thing that I think we need to improve is our overseas scouting network, but as the talk at the moment is on bringing through homegrown talent then this may not be that beneficial.

 

[beightonblade]

mmmmm....... a DOF might not have worked but i put that down to wrong choice and bad management. Get the pairing reight and it would work in my opinion.

what do they say ? .......... two heads are better than one

 

[dingledog]

Depends upon whose shoulders the heads are sitting

I agree that bringing on the academy kids is a priority.
We do have some really good kids coming through. The tournament in Ireland bears testimony to that.
One thing I would say though is that since the sad loss of Derek Dooley the club has lost a character and a 'football man'.
If we could bring in somebody of his standing it would surely be beneficial to the manager and coaching staff.
Would Dave Bassett or NW have had the same success without Dooley ?
Something we can never know but I'm sure that his input had a significant part to play.

Speculating on how things would have been under Bassett or NW is something we'll never know, but Dooley was a major footballing figure at the club. A true legend for what he did during the years after MacDonald etc.

Ron Reid's been around the club for years and perhaps McCabe saw something in him to make him rethink the DoF role or the focus of the club.

Personnally I like the way that the club is almost closing ranks and trying to develop from within. Its true that sometimes you need a new face to come in, but i'd always like to see those within the club rewarded and promoted so long as its not to the detriment of the club.

As Beighton said in his wisdom, get the pairing right then perhaps a DoF might not be a bad idea. How about bringing NW back for this role?
