I think Damien Commolli is the best signing of the season so far
And will take complete control of future signing's at the club as
His track record is one of the best in europe.
Hopefully we can sign young player's like Dafur,Hazzard,Sakho e.g
This could be in conflict with Roy's approach in signing older
player's on big contract's.
What's everyone's opinion on this !.

Just been reading an article on bbc about this appointment and I think if the two fall out then Roy will be the one let go. I guess the litmus test will come in January when he begins to sign players for Roy. They will obviously consult on who to sign but Ive feeling they will poles apart in who to go for. He will be good if a relationship can be built between himself and the manager (whoever that is) if not then it could be disastrous. We will be signing young players with resale value which fits with the NESV model. Quietly optimistic it will work long term but Im not sure him and Roy will see eye to eye. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/l/liverpool/9156815.stm

We will see - he has "carte blanche" for me right now - let his signing speeks for him on the pitch. I wish him good luck - and a lot of money for transfers;)

Thimgs always go wrong when there is a directer of football. Comolli had a fall out with Martin Jol as he was buying player he wanted, not Jol. The sensible appointment would have been a new manager! We need some stability now more than ever and I just think a directer of football will just complicate things.

It a recipe for disaster.A director of football has never been successful in the english league and i don't believe the money will be made available to sign players of the calibre you mention.A new top class manager was required.

hodgson is supposed to be a good coach (but not a good manager)I think he would do better with a technical director, but I am agains them in general I don't think it workds in England. I prefer the raffa or dalglish model where the boss decides everything or nearly everything, bit expensive though!

I think the manager should decided on what type of players he wants and then gets a talent scout to go out and find the best possible player that's fits the requirements of the manager. That way it allows the manager to focus on the team and when the new player arrives he knows he will be suited. If the talent scout has any ability he would be able to recommend a few options in case the first targets does not come for any given reason.

Guardian's footy podcast was talking about how he made some iffy signings while at Spurs, he was sacked along with Juande Ramos in 2009. He bought the likes of Ricardo Rocha, Gilberto, Gio dos Santos. However Spurs` current and past stars were brought in by him (Bale, Berbatov,Modric) Intresting little article on him on Wiki... In 2005 he became director of football at Tottenham Hotspur, with overall responsibility for the medical, academy, scouting and club secretarial departments, replacing the outgoing Frank Arnesen.[2]. During his time there he had several disagreements with coach Martin Jol, who after his departure from Spurs complained several players had been signed by Comolli without his agreement.[5] He spent three years in the job but with Tottenham performing poorly in 2008-09 and some of Comolli's signings coming in for criticism,[6] he was dismissed in October 2008, along with manager Juande Ramos, assistant Gus Poyet and first team coach Marcos Álvarez‎.[7] During his time at Tottenham, Comolli was responsible for Tottenham's policy of signing some of the world's brightest young talents, bringing young players such as Gareth Bale, Alan Hutton, Kevin-Prince Boateng, Giovanni dos Santos, Adel Taarabt and Younes Kaboul to the club.[8] Comolli was also responsible for the signings current Tottenham squad members Luka Modrić, Benoit Assou-Ekotto, Heurelho Gomes, David Bentley, Vedran Ćorluka and Roman Pavlyuchenko, as well as Dimitar Berbatov (now at Manchester United.)[9]
