KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum New director of football david dein ?

I'd make him chief exec, move Ian Eyre back to commercial director.

I was astonished Dein didn't get the FA gig, so if he does come then we'll have someone in charge who knows what he's doing!

I don't know much about him but I am a fan of clubs having a DoF, say what you will about Comolli but he helped Kenny a lot with signings especially when he stayed a few weeks in Holland doing the Suarez deal. Its a good idea to have a sidekick to the manager that can go around the world and do those deals. The manager can't do it all by himself.

David Dein would be an excellent appointment but not as a DOF but a COE. He was never a DOF at Arsenal- he was involved in negotiation of contracts etc but not scouting players.

It all depends on what his role is. The job title 'director of football' can mean many things. We still don't really know what comilli did.

Helped waste £100 million

Just talking to my friend who is a big Arsenal fan. He spoke SO SO highly of Dien and said how they owe a massive amount of their success to him. He was gutted as the thought of him coming to us! I really hope they manage to sign him! would be unbelievable

the man also has inside ties to the FA, he can help fix things with them

whatever he did, it was not well.
