Literally there to give advice when he thinks it's needed or when it's asked for? To lead, advise, cajole, one to bounce ideas on. Not to manage the football but to be there at all times with a shoulder to lean on. Someone who has been there, done it and now wants a quieter life but who feels he doesn't want to retire. We have been missing such a person for a long time. It's similar to how German industry uses those within a few years of retirement - to help those who will be taking over and allowing them to glean knowledge from the elder workers. If this is the route we are going, then at long last, I nay be able to watch my club competing in the top league and doing it well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you take that away, surely that’s a big part of his job gone? Who do you reckon Dave? It certainly seems to have been, doesn't it? But maybe that's unusual for a CEO role; I don't imagine other CEOs make that such a big part. Maybe his role will be scaled back to being just about the negotiation/contract stuff, and a DOF will have the final say on who we want to buy and sell?

I wonder if its been pointed out to him that being our ceo and head of recruitment could be considered a conflict of interest being on the efl board and he has to give up those duties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 Would of been nice for the interviewer to ask a follow up question when Gregor said about a exciting name coming in with Holden. As said above, it would make things more palatable if someone like big sam was DOF . Definitely think we need one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open to interpretation I felt - DoF or could be an assistant manager. It wasn’t mentioned at all. I think there is a hell of a lot of 2+2=5 on this thread. I got the distinct impression it was about who Holden’s assistant would be, so not a DoF or any of this crazy “Hughton is still going to be involved” nonsense. Ashley Williams could still be employed on the coaching side, but to me no way could someone who is already at the club be described in any way as “exciting”.

Red-Robbo Posted August 8, 2020 Report Share Posted August 8, 2020 At least a BBC outlet is now mentioning the management saga and the fans disquiet. After the Holden news broke I expected it to be mentioned on Friday's Points west, but not a bloody whisper. Just some fluffy report abut a Sag doing a charity walk. I guess the entire sports team took the week off and no one on news had a clue that the shenanigans at Ashton Gate were fairly important to a high percentage of their viewers.
