pete 2,499 Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I think the DOF buys in players and tells the coach to get on with it No chance. The head coach makes the final decision of which players he wants in the door. Do you really believe that top coaches will work not being responsible for the players they have to work with. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had to write the job description for DoF, what would be the ten Essential Duties? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 2,499 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Rangers have held talks with Brentford’s head of football operations Robert Rowan over the current vacant director of football position, according to a report. Scottish news outlet STV has claimed that the 26-year-old met Gers officials last week as they attempt a management shake up following the deapartures of Mark Warburton, David Weir and Frank McParland. It is believed that the famous Ibrox club are set to hold formal interviews for both the management and director of football roles this week and Rowan has been identified as a possible candidate. The relatively young Brentford chief has held his position at the club for three years since 2014 and even worked with Warburton at the London club for a year. He has also had two spells with Rangers’ fierce rivals Celtic, also totalling three years. Between his two stints at the Hoops he also worked for the Scottish Football Association between 2011 and 2014 in a ‘head of technical scouting and opposition analyst’ role. Rangers are also understood to have held talks with Southampton’s scouting chief Ross Wilson, while the report names Tottenham head of recruitment Paul Mitchell as another potential candidate. However, it may be more beneficial for the club to appoint a new manager before securing a director of football. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Director means to Direct and not Director as in Boardroom 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RANGERRAB 3,258 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 So basically you don't know what it is but you don't like it anyway? As I said depends what the remit is. My biggest concern is the D of F interfering in first team affairs. Head Coach/manager must always have the final say IMO. And do we really have hundreds of thousands of spare cash for a D of F ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
