Comments on: Is A Director Of Football Needed To Help With Signings? http://followeverton.com/2008/08/28/director-of-football-to-help-moyes-with-signings/ Sat, 02 May 2009 13:21:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Liam White http://followeverton.com/2008/08/28/director-of-football-to-help-moyes-with-signings/comment-page-1/#comment-674 Liam White Thu, 28 Aug 2008 12:02:07 +0000 http://www.followeverton.com/?p=178#comment-674 They tend to be unsuccessful in England, unlike in Europe where they're epected, because they are more often than not forced onto the manager in England, however I believe if Moyes was to make the appointment it wouldn't cause the friction it has. Moyes has hired Round to take care of training under Moyes' instruction, so why would it be so different for him to hire a director to handle transfers under his instruction. Moyes has admitted he can't give enough attention to his current players because he's pre-occupied, so surely hiring someone to lessen the workload would be benefitial. Moyes has struggled when going after a higher callibre of player so far, so I'm suggesting he hires someone who has more experience to help advise and mentor him, as well as lessening the workload so he can concentrate on what he does best, and that's looking after the team, watching the youth players and identifying new targers. I haven't suggested any names because that was not the point of the article, but someone experienced in the top end of the transfer market who shares Moyes' vision would fit the bill.

I can give you loads where it's been disasterous. Moyes is not failing to sign players just because he doesn't have the contacts.....that is plain ridiculous. Moyes is failing to sign players soley becuase we're not big enough for them and/or we won't pay enough in transfer fees and/or wages. Having contacts isn't gonna change that. And you haven't even suggested a name of someone who's available and who would have more contacts than a man who's been a Premier League manager for near on 7 years.
