I think all this talk of a Director of Football is wide of the mark to be honest. The majority of managers (including ones apparently on our shortlist) don't work with one, and it needs a very specific skillset and contacts book. We have never had one, it's expensive, and it's two possible positions to fail at as well.
Far more likely is your standard manager, with his own assistant and backroom team, and the rest of the coaches being let go. And then a new head of recruitment above that working with the manager (which is currently actively being searched for). No point having both a DoF and head of recruitment.
Tim Williams made it pretty clear that he doesn’t want a director of football in his last radio interview.
Unless things have changed since the sacking of Karl then it’s likely to be the plan he said at Fridays meeting.
1 x Head of Recruitment
1 x Full time Scout
2 x Part time Scouts
