fingers Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Quick question: if City announced that they had appointed a Director of Football, someone fairly well-respected, would those in the Tinnion OUT! brigade, then get off his backs for a few weeks to see if results improve?

Lita For Congo Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 How about a Manager Of FootballWhen is one of those going to be appointed?←When SL relizes its time, hopefully soon. Going back to the original point, yes, i think it would lift the whole club, supports, fans ect and would give us alot of momentum. Then if we was too loose on Saturday, it would go back to the same routine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Dalglish become DofF when Barnes was made manager of Celtic? Wasn't that a rip-roaring success, appointing a well-respected person, with a truck load of medals and managerial success, to oversee a novice manager. Iverness Cally anybody?

Mad Cyril Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 It can also signal the nail in the coffin of the manager - When Bryan Robson was given the "support" of Venables at Middlesborough, it made his position a mockery, and it wasn't long before he went.I'm sure there are other examples (Houlier to Evans at Liverpool??) but I can't be bothered to do my research. Fact is, they don't work, and represent part 1 of the sacking process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably even worse than DofF. How did they pick teams? Take it in turns like the playground? Rock-Paper-Scissors? One has the left sided players, the other has the right and they arm-wrestled for the keeper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
