1960maaan Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Good move IMO, not sure how , or if it effects anything short term. There seems to be a good working relationship between Tins & Pearson. Edited November 9, 2022 by 1960maaan 7 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Yes , good news especially taking over recruitment . A proper football man at the head of it. It’ll be interesting to see how our scouting/ network evolves/ changes 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuffle Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Fantastic appointment and hope he can be as successful with first team recruitment as he has with academy. @Davefevs@Harry as an aside how’s the relationship going with player recommendations? Is it any open door? Any information on progress appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merrick's Marvels Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Doubt they'd be doing this if the manager was off. Which he's not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCGav Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Happy for him, the academy work speaks for itself. Not sure if Tinns has experience in the transfer market but he’s clearly got the eye. Not massively improved my mood following last night mind, I’m nervy for Saturday.

Fordy62 Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Feel like this was his deserved promotion after declining the advances of FGR. Good news all round. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post CliftonCliff Posted November 9, 2022 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Richly deserved appointment. The man's commitment to the club over decades has been huge and his contribution immeasurable. I have enormous respect for the guy. 19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Tins is not Director of Football as his job description shows. He doesn't have day to day control of all football activities - unlike Ashton did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think its more to do with Gould leaving in Jan. Tins now does recruitment and the new person, or person within, will do purely finance 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This looks like a step to formalise a holistic recruitment policy across all age groups and genders. Congratulations Brian. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was due to meet with Gould again recently but his cricket news scuppered that one as he’s been a bit busy, but we’ll wait to hear from him again and see how Tins’ appointment factors into what we’re doing. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Be interesting to see how this fits in with the new structure once Richard Gould leaves. The recruitment side always looked to be underpowered to me, Tinnion with overall responsibility for this will hopefully lead to a bit more focus in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YGBjammy Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 This feels like something that was planned for a bit of restructuring once Gould leaves, but I think the announcement has been brought forward a few weeks due to the current mood. Maybe I'm too cynical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Rizzle Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 Tins won’t be the money guy in terms of negotiating fees and contracts during player recruitment. my interpretation is that as ‘technical director’ he will head up the recruitment team and academy in regards to developing players and identifying targets whether that is senior or youth players, or promoting age group players into the first team. We will still need to replace Richard Gould with another CEO/ money guy and I don’t think this effects Pearson in any way - it would be the same regardless of who the manager or head coach is. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
