I see it as Power trusting Sherwood to do what he was essentially doing, allowing him to spend his time on Waterford/Montenegro.
But I suppose that's the problem - nobody actually knows what the dynamic at the club is.

Dynamic isn't a term I'd associate with STFC atm. We may not quite be at early to mid 80's atrophy yet....but it's going that way. January is going to be very much make or break. Luke says we'll be getting bodies in....I have zero confidence that they'll be the sort of thing required rather than more Rhys Sharpes.

Its odd how Sherwood is supposed to being charge but does not face the media even when they request interview with him and always wheel out Williams win lose or draw.
I expected the communication to improve with the appointment of ASD as press officer, he knew what fans are wanting and may be able to try and put his own stamp on press offerings, and then with Sherwood and inviting the adver back was hoping things may change but at the moment nothing has, don't even know if Sherwood is at the club daily / weekly / at all

I'm no expert but I cant imagine the wages fluctuate that much in the bottom two divisions. I bet there are L2 clubs paying players more than we do.
If rumours are true, there are non-league teams paying some players more than we pay some of ours

I think he's doing his best. The problem was never with Tom Obswhatski (his predecessor). I find ASD a little over enthusiastic at times but he has to serve his paymaster on what he's allowed to do. He's upped online player interview content (and lots of pointless dot emoji too ). I do share your views on same old/SNAFU. But as I said earlier - all will be forgotten about the appointment if things go well in the January window. I don't yet share Reg's view on the type of incoming recruitments - though it has to be said, everything that's happened up to now suggests I should do!

Define "in charge". That's my interpretation of Power saying "(Sherwood will)..head up all aspects, including transfers, the way we play, the formations and the picking of the team"
at least - on the football side of things anyway.

To be expected - I doubt they are doing it on breakeven, we (allegedly) are.

Power did. Said he'll be responsible for recruitment, training, picking the team, tactics. Sounds in charge to me.

Yep, sounds like it to me as well. I couldn't remember that!

But what's to be gained from Tim's 'invisibility'.
If we didn't actually know Sherwood was at the club, nothing seems to have changed one jot.

That's my point! It could be that everything has changed on the football side behind the scenes. Just don't think the fans buy into it/see anything to give a bit of hope to without him doing some talking.

Is there actually any club where the DoF does come out and do the interviews and faces the media etc. Lots of clubs have Directors of Football that people have barely even heard of such as Jon Rudkin at Leicester, Txiki Begiristain at Man City etc. Even at our level Paul Trollope and Lennie Lawrence go everywhere as first team coach and DoF and it's primarily Trollope that does the 'manager' duties.
