Not directly...I was thinking more of his indirect experience over 20 years or so in the game all in the top two divisions as far as I know. He’s a guy who has a passion to go places in the game, and isn’t interested in moving in to coaching. Why is suggesting he potentially could be a fit for a Sporting Director role a “wind up” specifically? Seems a bizarre choice to me and bet if he hadn't have played for Town, then you wouldn't have even mentioned him. Correct I wouldn’t have mentioned him, as I was only aware of his studies and intent to eventually go into a non coaching footballing role BECAUSE he became a Town player so I took a bit of interest in him. So...because he would, for no discernible reason (he’s got the education, the experience of being in the game, has expressed a desire to work in a very similar role) seem a bizarre choice to you then I’m a WUM ?! We employ football managers who’ve not done the role before, other than a bit of time in an non consequential environment with development squads, we even employed one of the most vibrant managers in recent times (who just didn’t QUITE have enough to take us to the next level) when he had less than a years experience as an assistant coach.....it would actually seem bizarre to suggest that the employ of Rob Green in a director of football type role would be a bizarre choice. (An unlikely choice I’ll grant you). |

SJ just tweeted:
To me this seems a bit poor, Olaf was shelved a long time ago now and they are still discussing it?
(I suppose the meeting could just be to "rubber stamp" an individual but it could just as easily be they are still narrowing options down).

Sean got his knickers in a twist with folk abusing him about the team and our form, saying the football side wasn't his, yet as part of the board he's in the discussions regarding the new DOF? |

Christ. Only being discussed at the next board meeting! This should have been high on the agenda months ago when it looked like Rebbe wasn't doing what he needed to do. To only get round to it now when we need to be recruiting players ASAP...  |

To only get round to it now when we need to be recruiting players ASAP... Surely an April fool? We can’t seriously only just be discussing it now - Sean must be winding up the fans Bringing in Rebbe at the end of May 7 months after Moss went was a huge reason we failed in that window. They must realise this |

Like any leadership team they would always discuss ongoing progress of key goals. |

Like any leadership team they would always discuss ongoing progress of key goals. When did Rebbe leave, out of interest? I would venture that they should put some urgency around the appointment, given there will need to be a major overhaul of the squad in the summer and our recruitment team is headed by a 26 year old former intern. Maybe they do have it all in hand  |

It is very odd that such a key position in the game today has been left open for such a long time. The message from SMJ just says it will be discussed, it doesn't say in what capacity. Are they considering candidates? Not appointing anyone? Is there a risk assessment in not having a DOF?
At the moment we seem to be in limbo and no one is able to reassure the fans about our direction of travel and overall plan for the next year.
It implies a level of weakness when DH isn't available, as he understandably hasn't been these past few months.
I am not particularly worried, as we should be in a decent shape, but it would be good to know where we are.

Could also imply that DH has the final say, his staff are only allowed to make delegated decisions to a certain level? Nothing new with that, nor is this post having a pop at DH... |

Seems a bit of a flippant thing to say about such a critical job, especially as the failure of the previous incumbents has been a major factor in our relegation.
His comment raises more questions than it answers, he’d have been better off not saying anything:

Jan has got 3 points from 24 (or whatever it is) so Hudson could barely have done worse. The idea that we're going into the Championship with a totally unproven 36 year old from Germany, and a 26 year old former intern as Head of Recruitment, doesn't fill me with confidence that we'll get our rebuild right this summer. Obviously be delighted to be proved wrong |

Why is Sean Jarvis answering questions about the DoF on Twitter, obviously was going to end up with ppl getting the wrong end of the stick. Maybe he is feeling the need to make up for the total silence from any of the other executives.
I just hope they get it right and read the CVs next time, maybe just stick a note on the job spec that says people with massive recent failure on their CV and no success of note need not apply, that would have avoided the Rebbe debacle.
They need to get this right, any DoF worth his salt will come with the required contacts and knowledge already in place. There is no rush, needs to be the right man.

I hope whoever gets the role has the ability to spot a decent loan player. It worked well for us in the promotion season. Was Webber responsible for identifying the loan EE's as well as potential signings?
It could be crucial to us next year.

the club is in a very vulnerable situation in all areas...at board level, manager level and squad level...We need to be very careful otherwise we'll be crashing out of the Championship too (downwards)...DH needs to get a real grip on all this or at least delegate to others who can take the decisions and actions needed. We're not going to get a new owner when things are in such a perilous state either so it just feels everything is stagnating... I'm more concerned now than I was last summer after our abject failure to strengthen in the key areas where we all knew we were weak in.
