KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum FSG will U-Turn & Make a new Vacancy to solve our problems..

As it currently seems that the thought of relinquishing a level of issues/control to an incoming Director Of Football is putting off candidates for the Management position I think FSG may have to backtrack and creat a new role to accomodate this.

What is it pray tell?

They'll have to create a role where the manager has full control over transfer policy/activity and the direction of the football strategy to be implemented.

Oh yeah..... I just remembered. That type of role already exists. It's called a Football Manager!

Sort it out, FSG. It's getting a bit silly now.

Kenny was bombed out weeks ago now and Commoli longer still.

I get the principle these guys want. A DOF who will still be here (in charge of overall direction) even if a few managers serve their time but no manager can be appointed until that vacancy is filled!

They really need to pull their finger out or just go back to an original English type of system.

After all, Sir Alex and Arsene Wenger are DOF/Team Manager all rolled up into one. Rafa was also this in his final year so what's the big deal.

Just appoint the right manager and you'll avoid a Kenny Dalglish (Spunk all your money up the wall on average signings) scenario. No way would those other three mentioned have spent thaose figures on the four mega-expensive dead rubbers we bought last year (Hendo, Adam, Downing, Carroll).

Anyway, we wait and see........

YNWA

They appoint a Technical Director - Responsible for Transfers / Contracts.

A Sporting Director - To oversea Direction of the football business.

Then they'll appoint a yes man who does what those above tell them to do

/joke

If only it were a joke!

It's been just over a week for crying out loud, it's not the end of the world. You don;t have a clue what is going on behind the scenes, just the way it should be. Wait and see before you stress yourself out.

Just because something appears in a tabloid, it doesn't make it false and some of them get unwarranted bad publicity because it is considered the done thing to ridicule them (usually by naive bandwagon jumpers who are too lazy or incapable of forming an opinion themselves). The tabloids do an awful lot of good in raising awareness on issues, bringing people to justice and also pull in an extraordinary amount for charity - a lot more than the broadhseets ever could manage. They also come up with a load of cack on regular basis to be fair but each news item should be judged on it's own merits.
More often than not, the so-called 'respectable' news papers (if there is such a thing) report exactly the same items as you will find in the tabloids. And quite often, you will see stories, transfer links etc in tabloids that are 100% spot on but no one ever mentions that. As KP says, don't make knee-jerk reactions but DO at least have an open mind...

Hello guys,

I think some of you are missing my point.

What I am getting at is the point that Rafarendum mentions. too much power for one man to hold.

But I believe they should have gotten the DOF position sorted by now and then potential managers know the situation before even bothering to accept an interview.

Why shouldn't Segura be appointed DoF?

Top call, why not let the gaffer do 1st team transfers and segura look after bringing more through and bringing in others.

There was a perfectly good Youth system already in place before Segura and Borrell came in, it was run by Stevie Heighway and Hugh McCaulay, Benitez came in and upset it all. What have this Spanish Duo of Segura and Borrell brought through of any note when you compare it to what Stevie Heighway and Hugh McCaulay nurtured with some of Liverpool's greatest talents, including McMananman, Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard, Michael Owen and Jamie Carragher, no comparasson..

agreed youth set up here has produced crap all since heighway got the boot.
