Sporting Director

ShootersHillGuru

With respect and thanks to Red Robin on the takeover thread I have opened this because I think it deserves it's own.

Don't judge me, but I just had a quick look at what Reams.com is saying...

Mentioned this on the other thread, RR

paulsturgess

why is everybody so happy about this on that other forum? Banging on about what a great tactician he is and his attacking style of play. Erm, we've got a manager cheers

If it is Le Hodd, the disabled section at the Valley will be getting itchy arses... Heaven forbid!

If its Hoddle I fear it will be bad news for Powell in the future.

Possibly more likely than Hoddle - I think (hope?) that Airman would have used the word 'shocked' rather than 'surprised' if it was Hoddle...

Mundell Fleming

Be amazed if Hoddle replaces Powell, but if Duchatelet has a plan then the recruitment of a Football Director/Supremo of some kind, to oversee player recruitment and development at his network of Clubs and to act as his confidant would be a very logical move.

Wouldn't fancy Hoddle much for that job either. If Duchatelet announces he's hired Johan Cruyff, however, then the world really would sit up and take notice!! We can all dream I guess.

Personally I hope CP is given the chance to do his job without some of the handicaps he has faced recently. A director of football is simply not something we would ever need.

hoodle is a top draw coach and football man, people may not agree with his views on things but as a coach and football man there are few better

How about a 'Director of scoring some fking goals, before we end up in the bottom 3.'
Structural changes = not priority; get some decent attackers in = priority.

Only one man for the job surely.....

I sense some exasperation and pent up tension there MLC

Hoddle did great things for Chelsea and Saints, ok for the Spuds and England, then terrible for Wolves. He is so far up his own behind that he resembles a doughnut.
