Ruben said on Radio London the other week they were not expecting to hire anyone before the start of the season, they are going to take their time with a replacement
I think we need a DoF to give strategic oversight. But if you go down the DoF road you have to really commit to it, which I don't think we did during Ferdinand's tenure. And if you give a DoF over-all control,you really have to make sure you get the appointment right. Who watches the watcher?
Whereas I understand the board may need time to make the appointment, it could be that Ainsworth will have made his signings plus other changes such as bringing in the new Performance Director, before it happens. Given the DOF is supposed to have oversight of this stuff, it all seems a bit weird to me.
Just based on my own feelings but I think they will go this season without a DOF and see how GA's new direction takes us. Revert to a DOF model if it doesn't work.
It's another reasonable contribution to the reduction in budget for FFP.
Outsourcing the search to an Analytivs Company. They'll get a shortlist. Final decision from Reuben. No appointment likely for at least a.month.
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)
