I hope it is Jamie Russell more for the fact he is a really good bloke and i want him to do well. I think the role will be slightly different as well though as Sandro went absoutely fucking rogue in the end. From tactics to broadband bill that cunt wanted to be involved
Anyway, i hope we now get that experienced managed in who doesn't need a DOF as such but allows himto have that title and be that go between between the board and the manager.
My gut feeling is they have realised the fuck up and will now start to address it
You need a DoF so the manager can concentrate on the team, the DoF can look after things that manager does not need to get involved with player contracts, fee's, speaking to other clubs, liaising with scouting team and analysts etc, and be the link between manager and chairman, the DoF should also be the one that is still here should the manager leave. The role would be different if it was a head coach as you would expect he would have less to do with transfers. It will be interesting to see which role will be filled first, you would imagine the DoF who would have a rude awakening on his appointment with what is on the to do list |

Indeed and Russell sounds (from both his CV and what people say) like a bloody good Academy Manager so why upset the apple cart. |

Think the fact that the players are liking the news of his departure on Instagram speaks volumes.
Haha, who was that?! Anyone like the Morris news...? |

Russel comes across very well, is a real football man and would be a upgrade on SDM.
But he's doing great in academy and has always worked in that field so rather he carried on doing a good job with our academy and we go and get a decent DOF.

Baudry is the most notable name. You’d imagine he’s been around football long enough to spot a fraud. As for the Morris one; Darcy & Wakeling at a glance. |

"Boo" on Twitter who has got things right before has suggested that we won't be getting a new DoF and new manager will be in charge of transfers. Making me think more likely to be someone like Flynn if so.

He said in an earlier post that Piccareta appearing on the pitch makes sense now. Wouldn't be against that one. |

Like Morris/Lampard question its difficult to know where the talent or lack thereof lay right? It was thought Morris was the brains behind Lampard, but certainly didnt prove it here. Also as a historic number 2, who are normally criticized about being too close to the players, he certainly seems to have fucked a lot of them off. So how much do we believe Piccareta was the brains behind PDC? How much do we think he brought? He spoke well at the club a few weeks ago, but damn thats a huge gamble if they go there. The most important thing is getting a good manager, but there is very much a subtext to the appointment right now of generating excitement, reigniting engagement with the supporters/town etc and i guess shifting season tickets. Not sure how many of the names mentioned tick this box. |

He may well have been "the brains" around Lampard. The same Lampard who took Derby from 6th to 6th, got sacked by Chelsea, luckily stayed up with Everton only to be sacked the following year and has lost 5/5 with Chelsea in his second reign. Don't think there's much positive to compare Morris to in that regard  |

Cheap option I suppose. |

Yeah that's the sort of gamble we need to take now. Bring in the replay who's spent his career setting up youth systems across europe, and whose only experience in England was as the maniac wrangler in the Paolo DiCanio house of lunacy. I don't think we can afford a season of signing 40 players seemingly at random and then not playing 15 of them ever and signing 10 more during the season. |
